The best accommodations El Valle

A dream ecolodge run by an Argentinian couple, perfectly integrated into the environment, built with natural, local materials. Nine sumptuous cabins set in a stream lazily flowing towards the sea 50 meters downstream, a main deck and its delicious restaurant - La Gitana, where everything is organic and local - overlooking a lush tropical jungle that could just as easily be Asian as African, holistic activities (yoga, meditation)? All the ingredients for a restorative retreat.

This lodge is a little jewel in a Dominican jungle setting. Its unusual accommodation is beautiful and spacious, its communal areas beautifully decorated in a Moroccan spirit, its kitchen open to lush vegetation, its sumptuous tropical garden, its infinity pool overlooking the valley... The place exudes charm and blends perfectly into its natural surroundings. Ultra-comfortable cabane-chic rooms. Inspired cuisine. And a large two-storey bungalow right on the beach for those who want to disconnect a little more. Our favorite.

In the hollow of a luxuriant valley, you will experience a night in direct contact with the exuberant Caribbean jungle. But you have to be prepared to break your piggy bank, because the rates are not cheap! The areas are connected by wooden bridges, from the tropical garden with hammocks to the pool area and the vast raised straw hut of the restaurant-bar. Correct restoration. As for activities, walks in the mountains, bike ride to the beach, accrobranche...

The same dynamic and inspired team behind Le Unique has created this hostel, making paradise accessible to budget travelers. The Ganesh Hostel was built with local materials. On the first floor, a main hall with a lounge and a resto-bar, flanked by a refreshing swimming pool surrounded by lush plants; on the upper floor, small, simple, airy and comfortable accommodation units. Recently, the Shiva bungalows, in the middle of nature, have been created for more intimacy! Beach at 5 minutes on foot. We love it!

This is the new creation of the Unique Exotic Lodge team. After El Valle Lodge and Ganesh Hostel, here are three towers standing in the middle of the jungle: the Taino Beach Lofts! Connected to the other lodgings of the valley by paths, these lofts have the advantage of being 100 meters from the beach. Presented in the form of panoramic glass cubes, the idea here is to offer an immersive tropical experience: lying on your bed, you calmly observe the canopy, lulled by the sound of the waves in the distance. When the jungle meets comfort!
