St Regis Hotels & Resorts St Regis Cap Cana Resort has opened its doors, marking the brand’s debut in the Dominican Republic.
Nestled within the exclusive enclave of Cap Cana, the resort is set along the island’s most coveted stretch of white-sand coastline, an area renowned for its pristine beaches and deep cultural heritage.
With architecture by Acebal Canney Arquitectos & Asociados and interior design by Crafted by Chapi Design, the resort’s design draws inspiration from the palm-lined beaches, dramatic cliffs and vibrant energy that define the surrounding land.
At the heart of the resort’s design is a tribute to the island’s multicultural legacy, symbolised by the “faceless doll.” Crafted by Dominican artisans as an emblem of unity and diversity, and incorporated throughout the property, her vibrant colours represent the land, her ornamentation reflects the character of the people, and her faceless form embodies everyone.
St Regis Cap Cana boasts 200 guestrooms, including 36 suites with direct plunge pool access, all featuring stunning ocean views. The accommodations reflect a contemporary yet elegant interpretation of the Caribbean spirit, with a Presidential Suite spanning 6,500ft2.
Designed to echo the beauty of the surrounding cliffs and sea, the guestrooms seek to evoke a sense of refined comfort with bespoke furnishings, natural textures, and a soothing colour palette of soft oceanic blues and sandy neutrals inspired by the resort’s coastal surroundings.
Thoughtful lighting and tailor-made furnishings further enhance the serene atmosphere, while expansive layouts with seaside views invite guests to experience the harmony between architecture and the surrounding landscape.
Elsewhere, the St Regis Spa incorporates a harmonious blend of water and rock, reflecting the island’s sculpted coastline, and the cigar lounge’s gracefully curved lines evoke the flow of smoke rising against a dusky Caribbean sunset.
With nine culinary outlets, a Jack Nicklaus-designed Punta Espada golf course and more than 7,000ft2 of versatile, indoor and outdoor event spaces, the resort’s amenities cater to its guests’ diverse needs.
“We are thrilled to debut The St Regis Cap Cana Resort, bringing the timeless elegance of St Regis to the Dominican Republic for the first time,” comments George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader, St Regis Hotels & Resorts.
