The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort ushers in a new era of luxury in the Dominican Republic

Bethesda, MD – May 2, 2025 – The St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, part of Marriott International, announces the opening of The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort, marking the brand’s highly anticipated debut in the Dominican Republic. Located in the exclusive Cap Cana area, the resort sits along the island’s most coveted stretch of white-sand coastline, an area renowned not only for its world-class golf and pristine beaches, but also for its rich cultural heritage and welcoming spirit. Inspired by the region’s rich history, vibrant traditions and stunning natural beauty, The St. Regis Cap Cana seamlessly blends timeless luxury with the soul of the Dominican Republic. In a setting of lush tropical splendor, guests will experience the warmth of Dominican hospitality, the rhythms of its lively music and the flavors of its celebrated cuisine, all within an environment that redefines elegance and personalized service in the heart of the Caribbean.

“We are thrilled to introduce The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort, bringing the timeless elegance of St. Regis to the Dominican Republic for the first time,” said George Fleck, senior vice president and global brand leader, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. “Situated along the pristine shores of Cap Cana, this glamorous new retreat embraces the island’s stunning landscapes and vibrant culture, offering the brand’s signature sophistication, personalized service and rituals that have defined St. Regis for more than 120 years. As we continue to expand into the world’s most coveted destinations—with plans to double our resort portfolio in the next decade—The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort exemplifies our vision of creating exquisite escapes that blend tradition with contemporary refinement for global and local travelers alike.”

Exquisite Design, Inspired by Paradise
With architecture by award-winning firm Acebal Canney Arquitectos & Asociados and design by CHAPI Design / Chapi Chapo Design, the resort spaces are inspired by the lush palm-fringed beaches, dramatic cliffs, and the vibrant energy that defines the surrounding environment. At the heart of the resort's design is a tribute to the island's multicultural heritage, symbolized by the "faceless doll." Created by Dominican artisans as an emblem of unity and diversity, and featured throughout the property, its vibrant colors represent the earth, its ornamentation reflects the character of the people, and its faceless form embodies all. With every detail, the resort's design tells a story of transformation—the earth molded into art, the waters shaping the territory, and the diverse cultures harmonizing—effortlessly weaving the textures, colors, and energy of the Dominican landscape, reflecting the warmth and vibrancy of its people throughout the resort. For example, the spa incorporates a harmonious blend of water and rock, reflecting the island's scenic coastline. Guest rooms feature custom stone tiles that pay homage to the island's natural beauty, while the cigar lounge features curved lines that evoke the gentle flow of smoke rising against a Caribbean sunset.

Ideal for couples, families, or multigenerational travelers, The St. Regis Cap Cana offers 200 luxurious guest rooms, including 36 swim-up suites, all with stunning ocean views. Guest rooms reflect a contemporary yet
elegant interpretation of the Caribbean spirit, featuring a 6,500-square-foot Presidential Suite, designed for an unparalleled luxury experience. Designed to reflect the dramatic beauty of the surrounding cliffs and sea, the rooms evoke a sense of refined comfort with custom furnishings, natural textures, and a soft color palette of oceanic blues and sandy neutrals inspired by the coastal surroundings. Thoughtful lighting and bespoke furnishings enhance the serene atmosphere, while spacious ocean-view layouts invite guests to experience the harmony between the architecture and the surrounding landscape.

Unparalleled Service and Personalized Experiences for All Ages
Catering to travelers seeking a refined yet relaxed atmosphere, The St. Regis Cap Cana features four pools, including exclusive spaces reserved for adults and family areas designed for guests of all ages, as well as an exclusive Kids' and Teens' Club, where cultural and educational experiences bring the Dominican Republic's rich heritage to life; all complemented by personalized St. Regis butler service. Off-property, golf enthusiasts will enjoy proximity to the legendary Jack Nicklaus-designed Punta Espada golf course, with panoramic ocean views and a challenging layout. Additionally, the resort is ideally located near Cap Cana's top attractions, including Cap Cana Marina, Scape Park, and Los Establos Equestrian Center, ensuring a variety of outdoor adventures and cultural experiences for guests.

A Destination of Culinary Excellence
The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort features nine diverse dining venues, including its signature restaurant, Nina, helmed by award-winning Peruvian chef Diego Muñoz, recognized for his career on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list. Fire takes
center stage at Nina, a name that in Quechua—the indigenous language of the Andean region of South America—translates to “ember,” “candle,” or “fire.” From perfectly grilled selections to elegantly presented cold dishes, each dish is crafted with meticulously selected ingredients sourced across the Americas. For an even more exclusive experience, Bodega Uma offers a private space with a custom menu created by Chef Muñoz.

As an essential part of the brand experience, The St. Regis Bar embodies Dominican culture with modern elegance, offering omakase-style bites, a caviar ritual, and the iconic St. Regis champagne sabering ritual. All of this is enjoyed in front of a
striking mural of a faceless doll, a symbol deeply rooted in local culture and heritage, adding a unique and sophisticated touch to the ambiance. Guests can also indulge in the resort's signature cocktail, the "Quisqueya Mary," a Dominican take on the Bloody Mary, inspired by a typical local dish and prepared with island-produced light rum, a house-made spice blend, and fried plantain infusion.

For cigar lovers, The Amber Room is a luxurious lounge offering a premium selection of rum, cognac, and whiskey, accompanied by smoky cocktails and Latin-inspired bites such as empanadas, caviar, and jamon. With a free-to-use humidor, a cigar boutique within the bar, and the expertise of a cigar sommelier and rummelier, guests can enjoy perfect pairings, enhanced with elegant cigar accessories. Cassava, the resort's Latin American-inspired restaurant, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a lush and inviting setting, with private spaces and weekend brunch. The Cielo Mío rooftop bar offers a sophisticated, coastal-inspired atmosphere with stunning views, complemented by refined Mexican and Latin American cuisine. For those seeking Mediterranean flavors, Marola Mediterranean Grill offers a variety of seafood, grilled meats, and classic dishes, ideal for enjoying poolside or oceanfront. Kawa Coffee Shop offers a convenient grab-and-go experience featuring local cacao delicacies and artisan pastries, while El Huerto serves as a versatile pop-up space hosting plant-based dining experiences, events with guest chefs, and interactive tastings. Finally, Carey Bay, the resort's signature beach bar, offers fresh Caribbean-inspired cocktails and light, savory dishes, all served directly to guests who enjoy the serene oceanfront setting. 

Refined Rejuvenation
With 14 stunning treatment rooms and experiences designed to relax, revitalize, and delight the senses, The Spa at The St. Regis comes to life through six founding principles: celebration, personalization, connection with nature, sensory stimulation, refinement, and the extraordinary—all working together to create an exquisite retreat for the discerning traveler. Immersing guests in nature, the space effortlessly blends the outdoors with indulgent treatments rooted in ancient traditions and enhanced with local ingredients, offering a sensorial escape for body and mind. The spa features hydrotherapy areas for men and women, indoor and outdoor relaxation spaces, a boutique shop, and a unique Spa Suite, ideal for enjoying with friends or loved ones. Additionally, guests can stay active in the state-of-the-
art fitness center.

Elevated Meetings & Unforgettable Celebrations
An exceptional venue for events of all sizes, The St. Regis Cap Cana offers versatile spaces for meetings and special celebrations with a new level of tropical glamour. Three event spaces, including the Hibiscus Terrace and the John Jacob Astor Boardroom, total 7,000 square feet of event space. The resort's ballrooms, meeting rooms, and pre-function areas have been carefully designed to capture the lively spirit, movement, and energy of merengue, the heartbeat of the Dominican Republic.
