About this listing

Walk out to the back lawn at La Menina and the Caribbean Sea sits in front of you, the fairways of Teeth of the Dog visible to the side. It’s the rare oceanfront villa where guests see both from the same lounger. Set on a Costamar bluff above the south coast, the villa sleeps twelve across six ensuite bedrooms, including an ocean-view primary suite and five more rooms suited to couples or families. An included chef handles all the meals.

Breakfast is on the covered terrace with the lawn and the water in view. The curved pool runs along the back edge of the property with loungers in a line. The indoor bar, with its frosted bamboo-patterned doors and stocked shelving, pulls double duty between long lunches and refills before a swim. By late afternoon the group splits, the golfers walking back through the resort core and the rest still on the pool deck. Sundown is on the rooftop. The plunge pool and the bar both face the open sea, and once the light starts to go no one heads back down except for plates.

Teeth of the Dog and The Links tee off a short cart ride from the villa, the resort’s championship pair, with Teeth of the Dog ranked the Caribbean’s top course by the World Golf Awards. Minitas Beach is the same short ride away for a day on the sand, with chairs and food and drink service waiting. Altos de Chavón is the dinner trip when the group wants something other than the chef’s table, and the Marina sits a longer drive east. La Menina is the villa to book when the trip is built around the chef, the bar, and a view that holds both the sea and the golf course at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is La Menina suitable for two families travelling together or a group of five to six couples?

The villa is set up for groups of twelve and works equally well for two families travelling together, a multi-generational gathering, or five to six couples. Six ensuite bedrooms split into one ocean-view primary suite and five additional rooms, with the layout allowing children to share where needed. The long indoor dining table, the pool deck, and the rooftop terrace all hold the full group without splitting it across rooms.

What does the included chef cook, and are dietary requests accommodated?

The chef prepares all the meals at the villa — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — based on preferences shared in advance through the on-site concierge. Local seafood, Caribbean dishes, international cuisine, and lighter family-friendly fare are standard. Vegetarian, gluten-free, kosher, and other dietary requirements are routinely accommodated. Food and beverages are arranged separately, with grocery shopping and stocking arranged ahead of arrival.

How close are the championship golf courses, and how are tee times arranged?

Teeth of the Dog and The Links both tee off a short cart ride from La Menina, with the resort’s Spa and Hotel core at the same address. Teeth of the Dog is ranked the Caribbean’s top course by the World Golf Awards and is widely considered the best in the region. Tee times are arranged through the on-site concierge, with green fees paid at the pro shop on arrival. Golf carts can be rented through the on-site concierge for the duration of the stay.

Can La Menina host a private dinner or a small in-villa event?

Yes. The long indoor dining table seats the full group of twelve, the alfresco round table seats a smaller group under the palms with the sea in view, and the rooftop terrace works as the evening gathering spot. The included chef and bartenders cover the food and drinks side, with the indoor bar and the rooftop bar both stocked for the stay. Anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and in-villa celebrations are arranged through the on-site concierge.
