The Next Luxury Escape: Four Seasons Resort Dominican Republic at Tropicalia
Introducing Tropical Elegance
If the pristine beachfront of Playa Esmeralda along the mesmerizing Samaná Bay wasn’t enticing enough, a new luxury destination is coming to town. The Four Seasons and Cisneros Real Estate are unveiling their sustainable luxury masterpiece, the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Dominican Republic at Tropicalia. Nestled within a 60-acre estate, this soon-to-be tropical paradise is slated to welcome guests in early 2026.
A Blend of Modernism and Tropical Beauty
Designed by the renowned Brazilian architect, Isay Weinfeld, the resort and residences aim to set new benchmarks in natural, sustainable elegance. Sophisticated travelers will be treated to a visual feast of tropical modernist design, encapsulating both the rich history and lush landscapes of the island.
With 95 luxurious rooms and 25 private residences, guests will be steps away from white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a breathtaking array of natural wonders from forests and mangroves to lagoons and rivers.
More than a Resort: A Commitment to Sustainability and Community
Adriana Cisneros, CEO of Cisneros, emphasizes the decade-long commitment to regional well-being, social sustainability, and community initiatives through the nonprofit, Fundación Tropicalia. The Cisneros family’s vision is crystal clear: to create a luxury destination harmoniously balanced with nature and the local community. And partnering with Four Seasons, who shares this vision, is a testament to what the future holds for luxury tourism.
Global Reach with a Local Touch
The enthusiasm surrounding this venture isn’t limited to the Four Seasons or Cisneros Real Estate. David Collado, the Minister of Tourism of the Dominican Republic, exudes pride as he welcomes Four Seasons to a project backed by the esteemed Cisneros family, highlighting the project’s alignment with the country’s dedication to sustainable tourism development.
Exclusive Offerings
Expect world-class amenities when it comes to the Four Seasons Resort and Residences at Tropicalia:
- Wellness and Recreation: From a state-of-the-art spa and yoga pavilion to racquet sports and a dedicated kids club.
- Dining Delights: A plethora of dining experiences, including a beachside grill, ceviche and juice bars, a specialty restaurant, and even a rum bar.
- Excursions to Remember: Whether it’s diving into the marine wonders of Samaná Bay, exploring the mystique of Los Haitises National Park, or teeing off at the Tom Doak golf course, every day promises a new adventure.
Embracing Sustainable Luxury
Going beyond mere aesthetics, the resort’s design is a frontrunner for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. Weinfeld’s design, inherently low-impact, seamlessly integrates with the surroundings, offering guests an immersive experience in nature.
In addition, a stellar team of luxury development firms and design experts are ensuring the resort remains a beacon of environmentally sound and sustainable luxury.
Championing Social Responsibility
Tropicalia stands as a testament to the commitment to socioeconomic inclusion and sustainable practices. From turtle conservation efforts to promoting gender equality and cultural immersion, guests are invited to participate in activities fostering positive change.
Furthermore, the bond between the land, sea, and the local community is strengthened through initiatives like Estancia La Querencia, a sustainable organic farm pioneered by the Cisneros family. This farm not only provides invaluable support to local farmers but also offers guests a unique farm-to-table experience.
