Surfing Paradise
A Surfer's Nest on the Caribbean Coast
Cabarete is one of the world's great surfing destinations — and we sit right at the heart of it. Three surf breaks are within walking distance, and two more are minutes away, from first-timers to seasoned wave-chasers.
A Perfect Beach Getaway — 4 Hours from the East Coast, Door to Door
Most people think Caribbean means a long haul. It doesn't. Cabarete Maravilla is just 3 hours from New York by air — and with Puerto Plata Airport only 25 minutes away, you're in the pool before most people have cleared JFK baggage claim.
Intimate beach weddings, corporate retreats with purpose, bonfires under a sky full of stars — our beachfront property and dedicated team handle every detail so you can simply be present.
Good Vibes, Organic Food & the Best Breakfast on the Beach
Every meal starts in a garden, not a factory — organic, farm-to-table Dominican produce, vegetarian-friendly, zero single-use plastics. And a lodge that feels like a community rather than a resort.
For couples who want more than a hotel room — a private treehouse above the canopy, candlelit dinners on the beach, morning yoga at sunrise, and the sound of waves through open walls at night.
We are located directly on Cabarete Beach, Puerto Plata Province, Dominican Republic — steps from the famous Kite Beach, the kitesurfing capital of the Caribbean.
What is included in the room price?
All rooms include free breakfast for 2 guests. Rates start at $120/night (Eco Deluxe). Extra guests can be added for $30/person depending on room type.
