Why you should stay: This newly opened St. Regis in the Dominican Republic is quietly redefining Caribbean luxury. Tucked away on a calm stretch of powdery sand and turquoise water, this isn’t Punta Cana. It’s her more exclusive, serene sister.  

Up on the rooftop, the adults-only pool offers a quiet spot to unwind. The accommodations feel like beachside sanctuaries. Think Frette robes, motion-sensing lights and tubs so deep even tall folks won’t complain. Here, butler service comes with every room. Whatever whenever is the mindset, allowing you to slip into vacation mode quickly. 

What’s the big deal? Two people can stay three nights (or longer) from $999. Everyone else pays $1921. You won’t find this deal anywhere else. Upgrade to a room with unobstructed ocean views for $300 more.
