Sublime Samana

Set between a tropical, palm-tree backdrop and a white sand beach, Sublime Samana has the perfect setting for a luxury resort in the Caribbean. Offering contemporary, chic 'casitas', a spa, restaurants, tennis courts and hot tub, no stone has been left unturned at this exclusive beach getaway. Set just a short drive from the popular beach town La Terrenas and natural wonders in the Los Haitises National Park, the location of this resort gets top scores from guests. There is a shuttle service to La Terrenas to make your local exploring even easier. This is just one example of the little touches that give guests the 'sublime' experience. Accommodation is split between modern suites and 'casitas', Spanish for 'little houses'; the casitas are luxurious, offering multiple bedrooms, a hot tub and roof terrace, plus toiletries from the White Company. They also have self-catering facilities, including a full kitchen, which means they are great for families. For larger groups, book the presidential suite; split over two floors, this suite offers four bedrooms plus a huge, bright living space. Whether you opt for a more active holiday with games on the resort tennis courts or if you prefer the beach-bum lifestyle, all kinds of guests are catered to. Don't miss the chic on-site spa, focused on treatments using local coconut. There are also yoga classes available and a range of beauty treatments. The culinary crown has to go to the hotel bistro, where the ceviche is so fresh it could have crawled out of the sea onto your plate. A chic Caribbean beach getaway.
