Why it’s worth traveling for…
From design-icon Oscar de la Renta’s homeland comes this magnificent resort, set on 15,000 acres and three miles of white-sand beaches. Rooms feature ocean views and, of course, Westin’s signature Heavenly® Beds. A Six Senses Spa and Ecological Reserve (with 12 natural springs) add to the resort’s intrigue. Start days with a typical Dominican breakfast of fresh coffee and mangu with fried cheese, before a round of golf (on a PGA Tour course). Swim in the sea, lounge by the pool, or dip into the freshwater lagoon, surrounded by tropical flora and fauna.
