On the Dominican Republic’s lush north coast, luxury feels quieter, more soulful, and deeply personal. Grace recently visited three standout properties—ÀNI, Amanera, and Playa Grande Beach Club, each offering a refreshing alternative to the resort scene you might expect. With locally rooted hospitality, fresh island-grown cuisine, and cinematic coastal beauty, this is the DR reimagined.
At MavenLuxe, timing is everything—especially when it comes to booking those once-in-a-lifetime trips. The world of luxury travel is fast-paced, and planning ahead can mean the difference between getting your dream safari lodge or that perfect villa over the holidays… and, well, missing out.
Our ultimate goal is always to build lasting relationships with our travelers, and we are honored to be part of your stories. Here’s to more passport stamps, spontaneous getaways, and travel that makes your heart skip a beat.
At MavenLuxe, we believe that inspiration comes not only from the destinations we explore but also from the connections we nurture along the way. This month, our team had the privilege of experiencing our second annual retreat, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. Hosted at the breathtaking Casa Majani, a six-bedroom luxury ocean-view villa, this retreat allowed us to pause, reflect, and reimagine our journey together.
