Sublime Samana, Dominican Republic Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic

Eat. Pray. Eat.

Savor local flavors with world-class style at Sublime Samana’s two restaurants, regardless if your mood is casual or elegant. Fresh fish caught locally is the headliner of the wood-panelled Bistro, featuring an ever changing seasonal menu of Mediterranean cuisine with a Dominican twist. While the Beachside Grill Palapa skews to the more casual tropical haven in paradise kinda vibe. Both, notably can accommodate any and all dietary restrictions.

Bistro - This handsome space with connected outdoor terrace features a regularly changing menu based on the ocean’s bounty and seasonal and local ingredients. Expect shareable delights like goat cheese croquettes or corn gazpacho with first courses ranging from garden salads to fresh burrata served with sauteed artichokes and seasonal vegetables. Second courses are mainly protein driven with a pasta option.

Beachside Grill Palapa - This beachside grill is perfect for guests looking to cool off and grab breakfast and lunch without leaving the comforts of the sand. Nosh an array of salads or vegetable bruschetta with a tropical drink melting in your hand. You’ll be falling in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band. (Sorry, we got a little Kokomo there). But you get the point.

In room dining and private dining is happily offered should you fancy breakfast or dinner on your sprawling balcony.

The Art of De-stressing

Combining the natural elements of the Samana Peninsula, Coconut Whispers Spa (a two-time MexiCaribe Spa & Wellness Award winner) creates a seamless relaxing spa experience. You can indulge in treatments like a Temazcal Ritual, Vichy shower, floating hammock acupressure massage or purifying palm reflexology, all embracing the nutritional and purifying properties of the coconut.

Where to start with Sublime Samana’s fitness and wellness menu? How about with a refreshing sip of hydrating coconut water while you make your way to the 24 hour state-of-the-art gym, take a dip in the show-stopping pool, or engage in a game of tennis with friends. Participate in a complimentary outdoor yoga, meditation or pilates class or take a run along the edges of the crystalline waters across from the luxury resort. Speaking of which, a bevy of water activities, including seasonal whale watching, are at your disposal and guests can participate in the resort’s organized beach cleaning days in Las Terrenas.
