Sanctuary Cap Cana is a breathtaking, adults-only architectural masterpiece. Designed to resemble a colonial Spanish castle perched on a cliffside, this resort is located within the ultra-exclusive, 30,000-acre gated community of Cap Cana. As part of Marriott’s Luxury Collection, it offers a level of refinement and privacy that is rare even in the most upscale corners of the Dominican Republic.
When you land at Punta Cana International (PUJ), you are only minutes away from the most prestigious enclave on the island. To maintain the “Castle” experience from the moment you land, CanaTransfers provides private, direct executive logistics. Skip the standard airport shuttle and arrive at the gates of Sanctuary in a vehicle that reflects your status.
