If you’re going to take an epic vacation – one you’ve been looking forward to for months – you may as well go all out in the perks department. This rings true on both wellness-centric vacations and those that invite a little more indulgence. You only live once, right?
The Dominican Republic’s Eden Roc Cap Cana, a stunning Relais & Chateaux property set within a 30,000-acre gated community, offers a postcard-worthy oasis where health and wellness is front and centre (but there’s a little bit of indulgence as well. After all, it’s all about balance). At Eden Roc Cap Cana, add-on packages offer a well-curated assortment of perks to elevate your vacation (more on that later).

Set on an immaculate beach in Punta Cana – think piercingly bright turquoise water and soft, sun-kissed white sand – the Eden Roc Cap Cana offers luxurious 65 suites, bungalows, and luxury villas. Here, guests enjoy things such as a new 20,000 square-foot wellness and spa centre, which houses a full-service spa, hydrotherapy section, healthy juice bar, and fitness centre with complimentary daily classes, such as meditation, yoga, and stretching. Personal trainers are also available.
Fitness enthusiasts can also pedal the day away on a cycling tour. Guests fuel up and refuel on the resort’s celebrated fine dining cuisine that caters to vegans and guests with other dietary preferences. Of course, there’s also the “rest and relax” factor. The breezy resort offers no shortage of spots to lounge and simply “be,” complete with the smell of salt air and the lapping ocean as a backdrop. Sigh.

Now, back to the perks. Eden Roc Cap Cana’s VIP Additions Packages give guest the A-list experience, with a slew of appreciated add-ons that cater to a variety of interests – from wine to romance – and even packages designed for families with babies. Naturally, we’re drawn to the Wellness Package, which helps your wellness-seeking cause with added benefits to ensure you’re stay is a health-focused one (but we won’t judge you if you throw in a glass or two of wine to the mix).
