Sanctuary Cap Cana features
Sanctuary Cap Cana features 324 refined suites across its 19 unique room categories, including oceanfront luxury villas, and private island suites, with exquisitely furnished terraces and private pools overlooking the sea.
Guest rooms present a design inspired by Europe’s Mediterranean coast. The grandest accommodation is the Castle Island Suite, a 5,500-square-foot, two-level suite on a private island with a master bedroom, secondary bedroom, two and a half bathrooms, expansive living room, full dining room, and three indoor plunge pools with floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing views of the Caribbean Sea.
Sanctuary Cap Cana offers four a la carte restaurants featuring cuisines such as Italian, seafood, and Asian, and a steakhouse; a buffet restaurant open for daily breakfast and lunch; a coffee shop; a deli; and seven bars. The Capriccio and The Steakhouse restaurants are the two signature restaurants onsite. The notable Sanctuary Town, located right across from the resort’s main lobby, acts as an extension for guests to dine and explore with distinctively designed venues offering a wide array of gastronomies: from a Burger Factory, a Sushi town, or Mama’s Forno pizza prepared in a wood fire oven to a Spanish Tavern among other offerings, while live entertainment is showcased on some weekdays.

The property features six pools for relaxation or cabanas and sunchairs on the beach that savor local and international beers or cocktails from the Beach Bar.
The Sanctuary Spa lives up to its name as it has an oasis.
