This is your private resort, exclusively for your party. Plan the menu with the head chef. Set your own dress code for dinner. Drop into the spa for a holistic massage. Create your own playlist for the beach. Whether you visit as a group of six or 28, the entire resort is yours.

Peacefully perched on a fertile peninsula on the Dominican Republic’s quieter north coast, this ÀNI private resort gives guests exclusive use of two living villas surrounded by 14 vast suites. Hummingbirds hover over lush tropical foliage.

This is the no-worries-Caribbean. Where Latin American style meets Old World elegance. And for your inner child there is a corkscrewing whopper of a water slide …

Created from the word “andjani”, meaning a journey forward, the ÀNI style of sharing memorable experiences pulls people together as it takes them onwards.

The welcome

ÀNI can arrange fast tracking through immigration at Santo Domingo airport with ÀNI staff taking care of luggage whilst guests sip a cooling drink in the lounge.

After a chilled flannel and iced passion-fruit juice welcome, guests are invited to canapés overlooking the Caribbean. No frustrating bureaucratic check-in here.

Instead of form-filling, target the canapés: tangy ceviche prawns, ladle the creamiest of guacamole onto tortillas. Meanwhile luggage is delivered to your room.

The suite

Long rooms are filled with blue-sky-azure-sea Caribbean light. Beneath dark wood ceilings there is a fern, orchid and wicker aesthetic. Vogue photo-shoot style comes to the Caribbean with a big budget.

Every secluded room has a full-width Caribbean view leading onto a teak terrace with sun loungers, sunken chairs, and table. A serene spot for listening to waves rhythmically breaking on the rocks below.
