Introducing Araya, our latest venture in the Dominican Republic, an intimate boutique hotel where luxury and nature converge to create an unparalleled experience.
Araya invites our guests to become part of a transformative hospitality venture. Nestled in the serene beauty of Samana Bay, Araya promises guests a magical retreat amidst lush landscapes and breathtaking ocean vistas.
One of Araya’s distinctive features is its commitment to embracing the natural elements. Inspired by the Taino heritage, we have crafted a unique experience where guests can appreciate the beauty of the moonlight in all its glory. With specially designed deck to admire the rise of the full moon, Araya offers a truly mesmerizing spectacle that guests will appreciate for a lifetime.
Here, visitors from all corners of the globe flock to witness the majestic whales of Samana Bay, where mama whales find sanctuary to nurture their newborn calves. To enhance this remarkable experience, each villa at Araya features beautiful decks, allowing guests to marvel at the sight of breaching whales right from the comfort of their private retreat.
But Araya isn’t just about whale watching, it’s also a sanctuary for travelers looking to escape the harsh winters of the US, Canada, and Northern Europe. Our secluded location at the end of a peninsula offers a tranquil oasis away from the hustle and bustle of everyday lifeescape, surrounded by pristine beaches and lush landscapes.
In addition to providing a haven for leisure travelers, Araya prides itself on being a boutique hotel, a place where every guest feels personally welcomed and cared for. Our intimate setting ensures that each visitor receives the highest level of attention and service, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that sets us apart from larger resorts.
