Natura Cabañas Boutique & Spa

Located just 15 minutes from Puerto Plata International Airport, and a mere 7 minutes from both Cabarete, the windsurfing and kitesurfing capital of the Caribbean, and Sosua Bay, this oceanfront eco-paradise offers a unique experience. Accommodations range from traditional thatched-roof cabanas to sophisticated bungalows like the Africana, featuring artistic brick, bamboo, and stonework. A splendid new oceanfront yoga pavilion hosts classes, retreats, and weddings. Each bungalow boasts a colorful name, such as Cabaña India, Laja, Playa, and Piedra, and features rustic interiors crafted from wood, bamboo, stone, and coral tiles, accented by seductive, cinematic lighting. Most bungalows include kitchenettes, and all have mini-fridges. Reflecting the hotel's environmental sensitivity, much of the furniture is handcrafted from repurposed bamboo and coco palms. Healthy breakfasts and lunches are served in one of the two waterfront restaurants, while in the evening, the seafood restaurant entices diners with its fresh, local cuisine.
