In a recent feature, ELLE magazine highlights spaces that go beyond simply being visited. Places where the experience carries as much weight as the location itself.
Within that selection is Api Beach House, a beach club where the plan is simple: spend a good day. Sea, music, and a relaxed atmosphere that, before you know it, keeps you there longer than expected.
They also mention Punta Espada Golf Course, not just as a golf course, but as part of the Cap Cana lifestyle. Here, it’s not only about playing. It’s about the setting. The ocean views do a lot of the work.
Gastronomy: the social scene
On the culinary side, one of the standout spots is Nina, located within The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort. Led by chef Diego Muñoz, the concept moves between Peruvian and contemporary cuisine, with dishes that are visually striking but also grounded in a clear idea.
Meanwhile, La Palapa, at Eden Roc Cap Cana, takes a more relaxed approach, but one that is just as thoughtful. Mediterranean cuisine, fresh ingredients, and dishes designed for sharing, like their seafood paella.
Among local favorites, Barbudo stands out. It’s a place where the atmosphere matters as much as the food. Music, a more social energy, and a dynamic that makes it a natural meeting point.
Cocktails and more intimate spaces
Cocktails also play a role. The St. Regis Bar stands out for how it builds an experience around its drinks, especially with the “Quisqueya Mary,” its local take on the Bloody Mary.
And if you’re looking for something quieter, the selection includes Love Bar at Sanctuary Cap Cana. A more intimate space, ideal for slowing things down.
In the end, what stands out about this selection is not only where to go, but how each place contributes to the overall experience of Cap Cana.
