Perched right on the beachfront, Sunrise Villa sits on the north coast of the Dominican Republic within a gated community of Orchid Bay. If you’re seeking peace and quiet then it doesn’t get much better than this - the villa hosts two acres of grounds and 400 feet of private beach, which is the perfect spot for experiencing the sensational sunrises that the villa was named after. The two-acre grounds are filled with verdant green palms and plants that swish gently in the sea breeze.

Inspired by Balinese architecture and design, the villa has been beautifully laid out with exquisite dark wood furnishings, vaulted ceilings and colourful walls. It’s spread across four buildings, ensuring a little extra privacy for those seeking some well-deserved ‘me-time’ during their stay. You’ll find plenty of living space in the main house, where you can gather for film nights, or challenge your fellow guests to a game of billiards. Dine in the grand dining room, with food whipped up by the on-site chef — the villa has a full set of staff that can cater to your every need.

Seamlessly blending the indoor spaces with the outside, there are plenty of terraces to relax on, drink in hand, the largest of which is the pool terrace. Cool off from the Caribbean sun in the glorious freeform pool, which has a lap area, wading space and hot tub for up to 16 people. After your swim, retreat to the bar which offers all you need to create delicious cocktails and your favourite tipples. The shaded veranda is the perfect spot for sipping on your drinks with your loved ones, with large cushioned sofas and a dining area surrounded by blooming plants. Alternatively, head to one of the many sun loungers and soak up the Caribbean sun, or stroll down to the tranquil beach and dip your toes in the crystal clear waters.

There are eight bedrooms at Sunrise Villa, each with an ensuite bathroom. Six of the rooms feature king-sized beds and their own Jacuzzis, while the other two have queen-sized beds and gorgeous tubs. Perfect for families with young children, there are also several sofa beds spread across the rooms and one in the living room.
