Situated on an expansive and secluded private beach, the hotel offers a luxurious and exclusive oasis that combines Polynesian and Caribbean influences with style and modern sophistication. The five-star luxury property is the first in the region to become a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World group. It features fifty-five spacious suites, with most offering stunning ocean views and personal plunge pools and a private beach club with seven lavish oceanfront suites, its own pool, bar and exclusive beach area. This upscale boutique property distinguishes itself from other luxury boutique resorts in the Caribbean by going the extra step and adding details that set the standard in delivering an exceptional hospitality experience.

This secluded resort is enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility inspired by design elements rooted in Asian tradition of incorporating water into daily existence. The check-in desk is situated in an open-air lobby where a wood-paneled walkway surrounded by two small pools of water lilies and sea turtles leads guests to the property's spectacular ocean view and elegant accommodations. A special focal point of the lobby is the 17th century hand-carved wooden archway that encases the entrance to the hotel's boutique where traditional Dominican art sculptures adorn windows.

Most of the furnishings for the property's guestrooms, food and beverage outlets, meetings facilities and restaurants were specially selected and imported from Spain and Indonesia. Guest services and amenities are tailored to surpass even the most upscale travelers' expectations.
