Company Description

It started with a dream—a passion to create a five-star boutique hotel experience in the Caribbean.And it was realized in one of the most beautiful places on earth, Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic. Eden Roc Cap Cana is a unique and secluded property nestles in the exclusive, beachfront community of Cap Cana at the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic.

Surround by a tropical forest with ecological marvel, with pristine beaches, towering cliffs, a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course and a bustling Marina. Solaya Hotels & Resorts chose this heaven on earth as the ideal spot to build their first ultra-luxurious property, the model for future developments in the Caribbean, United States and Europe.

Solaya’s unique concept for Eden Roc Cap Cana blends the impeccable standards of the great resorts along the French and Italian Rivieras with the warmth and relaxed charms of the Caribbean.
