Imagine a villa surrounded by lush gardens, whispering palm trees, uninterrupted views of one of the island's finest golf courses, and you have Casa Luna Llena. This delightful five-bedroom villa welcomes up to ten guests in sublime comfort, offering a hideaway in one of the most exclusive parts of the Dominican Republic. With a large pool, open-plan living and sympathetic use of natural building materials, it feels exactly like a Caribbean retreat should.
La Romana is a fascinating region packed with things to see and do, from artisan villages to some of the island's finest beaches. Head to the Marina nearby and you'll discover superyachts sitting alongside traditional fishing boats. This is the place to go if you want to try the finest red snapper on the island and local street food such as tostones (deliciously crunchy fried plantain) and yaniqueque filled with cheese, egg and ham. Wash everything down with a rum cocktail, and you have the authentic taste of the Caribbean.
At the villa, your personal chef keeps those local delicacies coming while you relax in the spacious living areas or out on the terrace. The interior is minimalist, using beautiful plain white linen and polished wood. A large dining room has space for everyone, while a huge blue sofa dominates the pool room making this the ideal spot for socialising. The villa’s bedrooms are simple oasis of calm where clutter has been kept to an absolute minimum. Three of the five bedrooms have king-size beds, while the remaining two bedrooms have two queen-size beds each. All have ensuite bathrooms with rainfall showers.
From the internal courtyard to the manicured lawns outside, Casa Luna Llena embraces the botanical beauty of the island. A large pool and jacuzzi are just right for a cooling dip or a few early-morning laps. Or take the few steps to the beach and sink your toes into sugar-soft sand. This villa has that special something that will stay with you long after you’ve returned home, and you’ll always find the Dominican Republic calling you back again soon.
