The Dominican Republic is already an incredible vacation destination, full of pristine beaches, picture-perfect palm trees and a long list of incredible resorts, including some of our favorite all-inclusive resorts in the world.

But next year, it'll get even better when St. Regis, one of the foremost luxury brands, opens up in Cap Cana, a high-end area near Punta Cana and just a few miles from Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ).

The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort, scheduled to open next spring, is now accepting reservations for stays starting on April 15, 2025. Opening rates start around $783 per night for the first few months but drop to $636 in the hotter summer months.

Unfortunately, a Marriott spokesperson told TPG that Marriott Bonvoy members will have to wait a little longer to book with points. We'll update you as soon as that information is available.

(Just note: It's not uncommon for new hotels to shift back opening dates, so if you intend to book in the earliest days, plan to be flexible.)

Designed by Chapi Chapo Design, the firm behind projects like Amanyara in Turks and Caicos and St. Regis Kanai in Mexico, this new property will have 182 rooms, 28 suites, including swim-up accommodations, and even a 6,500-square-foot presidential suite with two bedrooms.

Across the resort, nine bars and restaurants will keep guests hydrated and full, with dining options ranging from Peruvian cuisine from celebrity chef Diego Muñoz to Mediterranean food, Latin tapas and poolside dining to a rooftop bar and the signature St. Regis Bar and its famed bloody Marys.

Other hotel features include a St. Regis Spa with 13 treatment rooms, a modern fitness center with top-of-the-line gym equipment, four swimming pools and beach access, a kids club and a teens club and St. Regis' signature butler service.

Recently, Marriott's luxury brands have been making waves in the Dominican Republic. The first Luxury Collection all-inclusive resort, Sanctuary Cap Cana, opened in 2023. Our review gave the property high marks, and while the St. Regis is sure to set a new standard of luxury in the area, you can't deny that the all-inclusive nature of Sanctuary Cap Cana makes for a carefree vacation.
