Review

Synthesized from Forbes Travel Guide

Forbes ★★★★☆ 4-Star

Character and identity

Set on a private island three miles off Samaná and reached only by a 10-15 minute boat ride from Simi Baez pier, Cayo Levantado occupies a different register from the Punta Cana strip. Victorian-style buildings sit among dense tropical foliage, three white-sand beaches and two pools (one beachside with submerged loungers, one inland with striped cabanas). Old Caribbean-inspired suites and villas lean into palm-print wallpaper, wicker and pink floral tile, some with plunge pools. The all-inclusive format bundles six restaurants, eight bars and a serious wellness programme at Yubarta, the palm-shaded centre with a koi pond and cenote. A personal ambassador handles logistics.

Who's it for

Best for:
Couples and solo travellers chasing a wellness reset in genuine seclusion, who want sound baths, shamanic healing and yoga built into the day, plus the option to commit to a structured three-, five- or seven-day refresh, restore, relax or renew itinerary. Whale-watchers should target January to March, when humpbacks are visible from the rooms.

Should look elsewhere:
Families wanting a high-energy resort, nightlife seekers and anyone who resents paying extras at an all-inclusive: the two best restaurants, Senda and Manaya, carry supplements, as does the Los Haitises excursion. The boat-only access also rules it out for guests who want easy off-property mobility.

Bottom line

What sets this place apart is the combination of true island seclusion and a wellness programme with real substance, not a token spa menu. Book a suite with a plunge pool, time the trip for whale season if you can, and budget for Senda's tasting menu and Manaya's steaks: they are the culinary highlights and worth the extra spend.
