About this listing

Step through Villa Solara’s gallery hallway and the villa opens out to a long green-tile pool. The villa sits inside Barranca, an interior pocket of the resort with the Racquet Center a short cart ride up the road, so a tennis or paddle morning fits in before anyone has changed out of a robe. Five bedrooms sleep twelve, with an included cook handling all the meals.

Twelve people spread across two stories without tripping over anyone else. One reads on the canopy daybed past the pool while two others swim. The primary bath opens straight out to a walled garden shower — green and rock, the kind of moment a resort villa rarely has. Drinks at the kitchen bar before dinner moves to the long table. And on the way to bed everyone slows in the art-lined corridor between the sleeping wings.

From here it’s a short cart ride to everything else: the Racquet Center for tennis, Minitas Beach for an afternoon swim, the Marina for dinner, and Altos de Chavón for a slow walk on the cobblestones at sundown. Teeth of the Dog and The Links are also a short ride out for a golf morning. Villa Solara is the villa to book when the group wants contemporary design, room to spread out, and the whole resort within easy reach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Villa Solara a good fit for families with kids?

The villa has two twin bedrooms set up for kids or teens, with framed Dominican Republic travel posters and patterned wall art that keeps the rooms playful without feeling juvenile. A separate TV den off the gallery hallway gives kids their own place to land away from the formal living room. The pool deck has a canopy daybed and in-pool sun loungers, and the resort can arrange cribs, high chairs, and baby gear through the concierge.

Can Villa Solara host a private dinner or party?

Yes. The villa has a formal dining room with seating for about ten under amber jar pendants, plus a separate breakfast-bar arrangement at the kitchen counter for casual meals. Outside, the wood deck holds an outdoor sectional, a long pool, a heated jacuzzi, and a canopy daybed, with enough zones for a sundowner hour to spread out before dinner. The included cook handles all the meals at the villa, and the concierge can arrange waitstaff, florists, and rentals for larger events.

How is Villa Solara different from the other villas in Barranca?

Villa Solara is the most contemporary build of the Barranca collection. Casa Adri is tennis-led, Casa Ceiba is built around a centennial tree, and Villa Portón is a traditional courtyard villa; Solara reads as a modern art-and-design statement, with a gallery hallway of textile installations, two outdoor garden showers, a pop-art powder room, and a long green-tile lap pool with a separate heated jacuzzi. It’s the right pick for groups who want Barranca’s quiet residential setting without the traditional Casa de Campo architectural vocabulary.

What are the outdoor garden showers like?

Two of the bathrooms open through glass sliders to private outdoor wet rooms walled in coral stone, with hanging plants in black mesh planters and river-rock floors underfoot. The primary suite’s version is the larger of the two. They are fully enclosed and rare for the resort — most Casa de Campo villas don’t offer this kind of indoor-outdoor bath moment.
