Cayo Levantado

If relaxing on a gorgeous beach on a private island is your vacation aim, look no further than Cayo Levantado. The Luxury Bahia Principe Cayo Levantado is located on an isolated island off the coast of the Samaná Peninsula, surrounded by soft-sand beaches and shallow blue waters. The little and scenic island of Cayo Levantado, located just five kilometers from the Gulf of Samaná, is also known as Bacardi Island because a Bacardi trailer was filmed here in the 1970s. It boasts white sands and scorching beaches with rows of palm trees.

The three beaches on the island, which are connected by paths, are among the most beautiful in the Dominican Republic. The resort is an adults-only, all-inclusive resort. Samaná El Catey International Airport is the nearest international airport.

Small taxi boats leave the port of Samaná on the Avenida Marina every day to transport guests to this small island. In Cayo Levantado's public areas, spend the day swimming, sunbathing, kayaking or paddle boarding, and eating fresh seafood. You can also spend the night in a luxurious hotel on the island's other half. Please be aware that on days when large cruise ships dock off the island, visit limitations may apply.
