Monday Morning Ahhhh: Luxury Bahia Principe Cayo Levantado, Dominican Republic

The D.R.’s only luxury resort set on its own island, the Gran Bahia Cayo Levantado offers a relaxing atmosphere for couples and families, and boasts some of the best rooms in the country (each with private whirlpool tubs). There are two gorgeous pools on-site, one by the beach and one closer to the main resort area. Both have bars nearby and plenty of lounge chairs, and both are exceptionally clean. But what really stands out are the beautiful secluded beaches, where guests can enjoy watersports, volleyball, or simply lounging and sipping a cocktail. So as we say every week: sit back, relax, and soak up the goodness that is the Cayo Levantado.
