The Villa

One of a kind.
On purpose.

Villa Bella is not an off-the-shelf holiday rental but a designer villa with no equal in the prestigious Estrella Dominicus residence: 200 m², three suites, three bathrooms, all on one level. From the balcony you look out over five saltwater pools set in tropical gardens that feel like a resort, only without the resort guests.

Days here start slowly and end later than planned. A few laps in your own pool first, then breakfast on the terrace. In the evening, dinner sizzles on the marble outdoor kitchen, and once it's dark the film plays on 300 inches right by the water. On request we heat the pool to jacuzzi temperature, and the underwater light turns every evening a soft blue.

And when you want sand between your toes: eight minutes on foot through the charming village of Dominicus, past restaurants, cafés and boutiques, and you're standing on the Blue-Flag beach of Dominicus–Bayahibe, one of the most beautiful in the Caribbean.

Location

Between a charming village and a Blue-Flag beach.

Villa Bella sits inside the gated Estrella Dominicus residence: private and quiet behind the gate, in the middle of life the moment you step out. Bayahibe–Dominicus is a small paradise on the Dominican sea, and you're staying in its heart.

  • Charming Village Dominicus

    One step out of the gate and the village is at your feet: restaurants, cafés, boutiques and little minimarkets, all within walking distance.

  • The Caribbean's First Blue-Flag Beach

    Eight easy minutes on foot and you're standing on Playa Dominicus: shallow turquoise water, white sand and a living reef right off the shore. No current, snorkel straight from the beach.

  • Bayahibe & Isla Saona

    Eight minutes to the fishing village, its marina and the catamarans to Saona, the island from the postcards.
