Under its three pillars of sustainability — wellness, local culture, and environment — Cayo Levantado Resort aims not only to promote a wellness and relaxation destination for its guests but also to strengthen its commitment to deep respect for the natural surroundings.
The island’s most natural rhythm is revealed through Eco-Bahia foundation, with conservation programs, environmental education, and protection of the local ecosystem at Cayo Levantado.
Sailing through the turquoise waters of Samaná Bay in the Dominican Republic lies the impressive Cayo Levantado Resort, on a unique and paradisiacal island. A place that nurtures the balance between mind, body, and spirit, honoring the natural and cultural rhythm, framed by its three pillars of sustainability: wellness, local culture, and environment.
The resort promotes not only the wellness of its guests but also their integration with local culture, traditional gastronomy, crafts, and the authentic Dominican flora and fauna inhabiting the entire island.
The island’s natural rhythm is unveiled by Eco-Bahia foundation, which leads conservation, research, and environmental education programs to protect the delicate ecosystem of the Cayo, including its fauna, flora, marine resources, and protected areas.
The foundation’s curators guide guests on an immersive journey with experiences both inside and outside the hotel, including Eco-Routes around the Cayo to explore environmental and cultural aspects, guided tours to natural reserves, and learning about the island’s geological origins and biological evolution.
Complementing the guest experiences, visitors can explore the hotel’s two gardens, cultivated under a local agricultural system called “conucos,” growing classic regional species such as banana, cacao, beans, corn, yam, and cassava. These products are used in the resort’s restaurants and bars.
Additionally, outside the hotel, through Embat and in partnership with Eco-Bahia foundation, guests enjoy boat tours of Samaná Bay and snorkeling at Cayo La Farola to discover the Caribbean marine ecosystem, with educational information on environmental protection and biodiversity. For star-gazing fans, the curators organize beach evenings under the stunning night sky of Cayo Levantado.
Grupo Piñero, through Eco-Bahia foundation, is firmly committed to protecting and reproducing native species at Cayo Levantado Resort. They carry out conservation, research, monitoring, and environmental education programs supervised by experts.
Through the invasive plants program, Eco-Bahia identifies and controls non-native plant species to free up space for native and endemic plants. Over 700 native plants have been propagated and replanted on the island, promoting local biodiversity and ecological restoration.
Cayo Levantado Resort is an oasis of wellness and nature adventure, where Eco-Bahia foundation, through its curators, plays a key role in connecting guests with local biodiversity and ecosystems.
This hotel is a unique haven for those seeking the true “luxury of regeneration,” enjoying a paradise that combines comfort, culture, and environmental commitment.
