Because who doesn’t love having everything included! Imagine not having to think of or plan for anything and still having an absolutely unforgettable vacation experience that will allow you to unwind and leave your worries behind. These folks simply “get it”. Hakuna Matata!

Claiming its own private peninsula on the Dominican Republic’s north coast, Ani offers an all-inclusive, 4.2-acre (1.70-hectare) private resort exclusively designed for a single group of guests. Set in manicured gardens with breathtaking, 270-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean and direct access to the sand-fringed bay known as La Piscina Natural, the resort can accommodate up to 28 guests across eight Ocean View Suites, two Bay View Suites, two Ocean View Junior Suites, and two Garden View Junior Suites. These are positioned on either side of the property’s palm-lined, central avenue as part of Villa Larimar with its sunrise vistas, and west-facing Villa Amber with its additional manmade beach and cobbled path to the sea.

Named for the region’s precious gemstones, the villas offer elevated, oceanside living with a sleek Tropical Contemporary aesthetic. Both overlook expansive infinity pools and provide an abundance of living, dining, and entertainment areas. Six of the eight Ocean View Suites (two Amber and four Larimar) are completely free-standing, while the remaining suites are housed in two double-story structures. Featuring spacious bedrooms and open-plan bathrooms with vaulted pine ceilings, coconut wood details, and a soothing palette of white, neutral, and sea-hued soft furnishings, the suites all open onto private terraces and/or garden courtyards.

Ani offers every facility and service a group of guests could possibly desire during their stay. The gracious Arrival Pavilion is mirrored by an ocean-side Events Pavilion, the air-conditioned Wellness Center houses a gym and two spa treatment rooms, and a children’s swimming pool and waterslide rest beside the tennis court. The resort’s discreet and dedicated team of over 30 staff members is available around the clock to tailor every detail – from special dining, cultural, and wellness moments, to kids’ activities and exploration of the region – to ensure a bespoke experience that defies expectations.

Resting on the DR’s more quaint and rural central north coast, the estate is minutes away from some of the country’s finest beaches, excellent surfing and a Pebble Beach-like clifftop golf course. The property holds dramatic views toward the area’s coves, beaches, and mountains in the distance.
