Following its 35-million-dollar renovation and subsequent reopening last December, the 5-star all-inclusive resort Bahia Principe Luxury Esmeralda in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, is back and better than ever. Whether for travelers who want to create cherished memories with their soulmates on Valentine’s Day or those planning a romantic getaway later in the year – this expansive and reimagined property is ideal for celebrating love.
A Dreamy Stay: While the resort welcomes guests of all ages, couples can book a stay at one of Luxury Esmeralda’s Deluxe Swim Up Junior Suites. This all-new room category exudes coziness and warmth with its king-size canopy beds, pillow menu, and more. The highlight will undoubtedly be the terrace with immediate access to a pool where partners can have a cocktail or bask in each other’s company while the sun sets.
For a Romantic Meal: The resort has plenty of dining spots to enjoy an intimate dinner, such as Portofino Italian Restaurant, with its romantic Mediterranean setting, or Naan, with a vast selection of Indian cuisine. For an even more intimate experience, there are adults-only restaurants, such as Limbo, specializing in high-end dishes, or the Fish Market, where the menu includes premium catches such as red porgy, snapper fish, octopus, mussels, and more.
Unwinding at the Spa: The resort offers two main 50-minute couple treatments, both with some customizable features. The Special Couples VIP package features a private jacuzzi and massage in a cabin with candles, scents, and flowers. Meanwhile, the Relax in Paradise option includes a couple’s massage and a toast with mimosa cocktails.
