Most all-inclusives are built around the beach, but in Samaná, the Dominican Tree House Village offers something entirely different. This is an all-inclusive where the “rooms” are open-air cabins in the jungle canopy, linked by rope bridges and shaded by palm trees. It’s an escape that trades marble lobbies and large pools for lagoons, waterfalls, and nights gathered around a fire.
Instead of separating you from nature, the resort puts you inside it. Each treehouse is designed to let the forest in — breezes moving through, birdsong at sunrise, and the rustle of leaves as your evening soundtrack. With only 22 rooms, the experience is intimate, quiet, and deeply connected to its setting.
Immersed in the Jungle
The village was designed for travelers who want to slow down and live among the trees. Paths wind between cabins, hammocks sway in the shade, and the atmosphere is as private as it is communal. Activities carry the same spirit: horseback rides to El Limón Waterfall, catamaran sails with snorkeling stops, bike rides to El Valle Beach, or zip-lining across the canopy. There’s even a yoga dome set against the mountain backdrop for guests seeking something more restorative.
How to Get There
The resort is located in the Samaná Peninsula, one of the Dominican Republic’s most unspoiled corners. It’s about a three-hour drive from Santo Domingo or 45 minutes from El Catey International Airport (AZS). The resort can also arrange transfers directly for guests.
What It Costs
Rates begin at around $250 per couple, all-inclusive, which covers accommodations, meals, drinks, and access to the village’s activities. For weddings and retreats, the entire resort can be booked for up to 54 people.
More Than a Resort
The Tree House Village is a philosophy of travel. You come here to disconnect, to feel the forest as much as you see it, and to find a slower way of being. Weddings and retreats are held among the trees, with space for only a handful of guests, and it’s this scale that makes the experience so profound. It’s private, safe, and built on partnership with the Dominican community.
For travelers seeking more than luxury, this is where you find it. It’s a stay that doesn’t just show you the Caribbean — it immerses you in it. And did we mention it’s all-inclusive?
