Our story:
A dream born from a desire to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect
Isla Bed & Breakfast Spa began with a dream.
Viviana envisioned creating an exquisitely curated destination where people could step away from the bustle of everyday life—even if only for a few precious hours—and truly disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with themselves.
A place where time seems to slow down.
Where the breeze gently moves through the trees, breathtaking mountain and ocean views remind you of the beauty around you, and every detail has been thoughtfully chosen to nurture your senses and your soul.
And what better place to bring that dream to life than the beautiful Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic?
From an old country home to a sanctuary of tranquility
Nestled in the mountains of El Cupey, Puerto Plata, an old country house became the beginning of something special.
What was once a simple villa surrounded by nature was thoughtfully transformed, detail by detail, into the serene destination that is now Isla Bed & Breakfast Spa.
The vision was never simply to create a spa.
It was to create a feeling, an experience.
A place where the beauty of nature meets thoughtful design. Where the fresh mountain air, tropical surroundings, carefully curated details, and breathtaking views create an atmosphere that invites you to exhale.
Where exceptional treatments are complemented by genuine care, warm smiles, and the unmistakable hospitality of the Dominican Republic.
A place created with heart
Isla was created to feel personal.
Every detail—from the surroundings and ambiance to the way you are welcomed and cared for—was designed with the belief that true wellness is about more than a treatment.
It is about how you feel while you are here.
It is about giving yourself permission to pause.
To breathe.
To be present.
To reconnect with the part of yourself that can sometimes get lost in the noise of everyday life.
At Isla, we combine an elevated spa experience with the warmth, generosity, soul and connection of Dominican hospitality.
Whether you are visiting Puerto Plata on a cruise, traveling through the Dominican Republic, or simply looking for a beautiful place to escape for the day, our hope is that you leave feeling lighter, restored, and renewed.
Welcome to Isla.
A little piece of paradise created with love, intention, and the belief that everyone deserves a place to simply escape, relax, and rejuvenate.
