About Sanctuary Cap Cana

Sanctuary Cap Cana opened in 2010 as a pioneering luxury resort in the Dominican Republic's most exclusive coastal enclave, setting the standard for high-end destination weddings in the Caribbean.

Built on pristine beachfront property in Cap Cana, the resort underwent extensive renovations to establish itself as a Luxury Collection property, combining amenities with direct ocean access.

The property's transformation reflects a commitment to creating an elevated backdrop for ceremonies and receptions against the backdrop of turquoise waters and white-sand beaches.

The architecture is simply breathtaking, with all of the warm travertine and limestone creating a cozy but updated Spanish castle setting. Never have we experienced a more friendly and gracious staff and customer service experience.
