The north coast of the Dominican Republic
We chose Cabarete for a reason.
It's one of those rare destinations where an authentic Caribbean atmosphere, beautiful natural surroundings, and an active lifestyle come together effortlessly.
Here, life revolves around the ocean. Surfers gather at sunrise, yoga sessions take place steps from the beach, and tennis, pickleball, and outdoor adventures are part of everyday life.
Cabarete has retained something special: a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, independent beach cafés, local restaurants, and a vibrant international community. It's lively without feeling overly developed, and adventurous without sacrificing comfort.
For VYLLARA, it's the perfect setting for a luxury villa getaway.
Our villas
Private Villas.
Exceptional Locations.
Our villas are carefully selected within secure, gated residential communities in the Cabarete area, offering privacy, comfort, and convenient access to the destination's best experiences.
Just a short drive from Puerto Plata International Airport (POP), our villas offer an easy arrival and an ideal base for exploring the north coast.
And perhaps what we love most is that you don't always need a car to enjoy the surroundings. From certain villas, you can step outside and discover wild beaches, coastal trails, yoga, cafés, surf spots, and tennis facilities on foot.
Walk there. Enjoy the experience. Let your private driver bring you home.
That's our idea of active luxury.
Within walking distance

The Coastal Walk to Cabarete
For guests who love walking, this is one of our favorite experiences.
Follow the coastline through tropical vegetation, quiet beaches, and the surf village of Encuentro, all the way to Cabarete.

It's a wonderful way to experience the natural beauty and authentic atmosphere of the Dominican Republic's north coast.
