Worlds away from the crowded vacation spots of Punta Cana, Àni Dominican Republic has redefined the term all-inclusive. With 270-degree views of the sea, the nearly four-acre peninsula on the country’s north coast plays host to 14 suites featuring high ceilings, Dominican travertine marble, South American hardwoods, and onyx paneling. The property can accommodate up to 28 adults, with a staff of 20 providing nearly one-to-one service. (Think of it as an Airbnb for your friends and family, but with private chefs, concierges, and turndown service.) And, of course, you’ll have access to the classic all-inclusive amenities: complimentary cooking classes, tennis lessons, hikes, and snorkeling excursions. Pro tip: At the end of the cocktail-making lesson, ask for a sip of mamajuana, a traditional homemade moonshine.
