25 Best Luxury Resorts and Hotels in the Caribbean to Book - AFAR

"Set high above Playa Grande on the northern coast, this ultra-luxe Aman outpost pairs polished minimalism with top-notch service and dramatic architecture by John Heah. Many of the 25 freestanding casitas feature private plunge pools and remote-controlled, wall-size window shades; the central Casa Grande houses the main restaurant (focused on organic produce, fresh seafood, and contemporary Dominican interpretations), a bar with an extensive rum selection and custom cigars, and an infinity pool. Beach Club offerings include toes-in-the-sand lunches, torch-lit dinners, cooking classes, and golfers have access to the 370-acre Playa Grande course with unusually many ocean-facing holes." - Laura Begley Bloom
