Villa Kayanta

Brilliant sun, soft sand and warm water enchant at Villa Kayanta. Set on the beachfront in Cap Cana, this idyllic vacation rental invites you to enjoy the setting from resort-worthy outdoor areas and breezy indoor living spaces. From attentive staff to a state-of-the-art marina and Jack Nicklaus signature golf course, Cap Cana has everything you need for a blissful beach holiday.

You’ll be taken care of by a cook, two housekeepers and two butlers, who live in separate quarters at the villa and are ready to whip up breakfast, serve refreshments on the terrace or prepare local specialties on the barbecue. Revel in the villa’s four acres of tropical gardens and private oceanfront terrace with infinity pool, loungers, al-fresco dining and a wet bar. Active guests can take the kayak out on the water; for everyone else, the hammock awaits.

Thatched roofs, natural stone, wood paneling and the lush surroundings make Villa Kayanta feel like a luxury treehouse. The property takes its name from Mayan, where Kayanta means 'to be reborn'. Enjoying the beauty of nature and taking an opportunity to destress, you’ll be reminded what life is all about. In the living and dining areas, sophisticated pieces like white sofas and a glass-topped dining table are set off by hand-selected accessories and artwork. Though the house does have a fully equipped kitchen, you can relax—the staff will take care of all the cooking for you.

All of the villa’s bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, making the property a wonderful alternative to a hotel for a family or group of friends. There are three bedrooms with king beds, including the master suite, two bedrooms with two full beds each and one bedroom with a king bed and a second level with two twin beds.

There’s a reason the Dominican Republic gets five stars from sunseekers, families, honeymooners and golfers alike: it has incredible beaches, but doesn’t stop there. At Villa Kayanta, you’re just steps from the nearest stretch of white sand, and a few miles from other popular spots like Juanillo Beach and Caleton Beach Club. Dive into the warm, clear waters on a snorkeling or scuba trip, cast your line on a fishing excursion, or test your skill on Cap Cana’s award-winning golf courses. The area also has an array of great restaurants and tempting boutiques.
