LUSCIOUS TRAVEL: A look at the hotel designed and co-owned by fashion and homewares designer, Oscar de la Renta, at Tortuga Bay, part of the larger Puntacana resort in the Dominican Republic…
Tortuga Bay Hotel at Puntacana Resort & Club in the Dominican Republic, was designed by Oscar de la Renta, the chairman of the development company Grupo Punta Cana, and co-owned by singer Julio Iglesias and Oscar de la Renta.
The hotel, opened in 2006, is part of the larger Puntacana 26 square mile resort, which started being developed in 1969 a Dominican entrepreneur and a New York lawyer. See it on this map:
It is also the site of Oscar de la Renta’s first resort boutique, a 1000-square-foot store, the design of which is based on a seed house from George Washington’s Mount Vernon home, and made out of pale coral rock.
Located in a private enclave within the Puntacana resort, the 5-star boutique hotel includes suite accommodation and 13 luxurious beachfront villas:
Guests each have VIP service to and from the airport just 5 mins away, a personal concierge and golf cart, and can choose from a variety of activities, such as bicycling, kayaking and golf in luscious surroundings, or simply hang out on the sublime white beach or day spa.
