Villa Sambarela

Villa Sambarela rises in a graceful semi-circle amid the manicured tropical gardens of Cap Cana, where towering coconut palms sway above three shimmering pools and the air feels permanently salt-kissed and calm.

From the moment you arrive, the villa reads like a private resort designed for people who want both togetherness and space: eight serene bedrooms with spa-style ensuite bathrooms, generous social areas that curve with the architecture, and glass walls that fold away so the indoors and outdoors melt into one long, breezy living experience. Mornings can begin quietly with coffee beside the water, then build into a day of play—serve and volley on the sports court, squeeze in a session in the indoor gym, cool down with a massage, and later drift into the cigar room or games room as the light turns honey-gold across polished wood and natural stone.

What makes Villa Sambarela feel effortless is that it’s fully staffed like a boutique hotel, yet completely private. Your private chef can shape each day around your tastes, from Dominican flavors to clean wellness menus; housekeeping keeps everything immaculate; an experienced butler elevates every meal and moment; and your villa manager with Platinum Concierge support can arrange tee times, beach days, reservations, and excursions with the kind of smooth timing that lets you stay present with your people. It’s the sort of stay that defines the best Caribbean Villas experience, and it sits proudly among the most coveted Cap Cana villas for groups who value rare amenities and true service.

Set within Cap Cana at roughly 18.47°N, 68.37°W (map cue: the Cap Cana main entrance off Blvd. Turístico del Este, then toward Punta Espada/Caletón area), you’re close to the icons without sacrificing tranquility. Expect about 6–10 minutes by car to Punta Espada Golf Club, 8–12 minutes to Juanillo Beach, and around 10–15 minutes to Cap Cana Marina’s dining scene. For everyday essentials, plan on roughly 20–30 minutes to Punta Cana Village for larger groceries and pharmacies (traffic-dependent), while nearby resort restaurants are typically 10–15 minutes away depending on your chosen venue.

Arrival is easiest via Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ). Off-peak, the drive is commonly around 15–25 minutes; in peak arrival windows, allow 25–40 minutes. The final 1–2 km within the gated community is generally paved with speed bumps and occasional narrow stretches; a standard SUV or comfortable sedan works well, though an SUV is a nice upgrade for luggage, ride comfort, and rainy-season peace of mind.

Unique value proposition: Villa Sambarela is a rare, design-forward semi-circular estate in Cap Cana that pairs three pools and an indoor squash court with true hotel-level staffing—privacy and full-service resort living in one address.

Nearby activities: play Punta Espada golf, spend a sunlit afternoon at Juanillo Beach, and book an adventure day at Scape Park’s trails and cenote-style swims.
