Dominican Tree House Village, Dominican Republic

Hidden deep within the Samaná jungle, this collection of open-air wooden cabins feels more like a lost civilization than a resort. Rope bridges wind through the treetops, connecting elevated thatched-roof bungalows to a central lodge where guests gather for local meals by candlelight. There are no walls, no televisions, no locks — just the soft sway of your hammock, the murmur of waterfalls nearby, and the hum of nature at night.

Each treehouse is crafted from reclaimed wood and palm, designed to invite the jungle in rather than keep it out. In the mornings, you wake to sunlight filtering through the leaves; in the afternoons, you can bike to El Valle Beach or hike to El Limón Waterfall. The staff are locals from nearby villages, the ingredients come from the surrounding land, and every experience feels communal yet intimate. It’s the kind of place where time slows, where conversation replaces Wi-Fi, and where you remember how simple life can be when stripped of distractions. Even better? It’s all-inclusive.
