About this property

Hacienda Tala · Oceanview Luxe Estate · Private Spa · Sleeps 22

Hacienda Tala — An Exclusive-Use Private Estate for Groups of Up to 22
Hacienda Tala is a complete private estate on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic, designed for one group at a time. Set on a hilltop and embraced by nature on every side, it looks out over layers of mountain and ocean to a horizon that turns gold each evening. When you book, the entire property is yours — eleven en-suite bedrooms across a main villa and a newly built wellness building, a full-time staff, and not a shared space in sight. It's the privacy of a villa with the service of a five-star resort, and it was made for the gatherings that matter most.
Ideal for milestone celebrations, family reunions, weddings, and group retreats. A dedicated concierge coordinates every detail in advance — from airport transfers and menus to excursions and spa programming — so your group simply arrives and settles in.

The Main Villa
The heart of the estate is an art-filled living and dining room with a ceiling fan, plush seating, and generous dining that the team arranges to seat the whole group together, separated from the terrace by floor-to-ceiling glass. A fully equipped guest kitchen with center island frames views of the gardens and horizon, while a commercial-grade kitchen next door supports the culinary team. The L-shaped private terrace wraps these spaces with comfortable lounge furniture, a second dining table, and a full-size bar with flat-screen TV and refrigerator. The main villa holds six en-suite bedrooms. On the ground level are four king rooms with direct garden access. Upstairs, a spacious master suite with king bed offers a private living area, sun terrace, and a bath with soaking tub, shower, and double vanity, alongside a queen en-suite — the only queen bed on the property; a cozy TV lounge completes the upper floor.

The Wellness Building
The newest addition houses a full private spa — infrared sauna, cold plunge, massage treatment room, an air-conditioned fitness area with treadmill, weights and a workout bench, and a full bathroom with shower, toilet and vanity — reserved exclusively for resident guests. Large glass windows with sliding curtains bring the forest in and draw closed for privacy. Alongside it are five brand-new king suites, each with air conditioning, ceiling fan, work desk, and walk-in closet. In these suites the setting does the work: the forest greenery and the blue of the ocean and sky are present from the private terrace and the bed, and the view carries into the bath as well — a glass window with a roller blind lets you choose privacy or open it to the landscape from the soaking tub and shower, whether you're waking, resting, or unwinding at the end of the day. Room-darkening curtains across the terrace doors mean you sleep undisturbed and wake on your own schedule. Every suite has a spa-style bath with soaking tub, shower, and double vanity.

The Grounds & Infrastructure
An infinity pool and hot tub anchor the lush gardens, with sun loungers and outdoor dining throughout. The gated estate runs on high-speed Starlink WiFi across the property and a triple-redundant power system — solar panels, grid supply, and a full-property backup generator — so comfort is never interrupted, right down to the air conditioning.

Dining
Daily breakfast and a welcome drink come with every stay. Beyond that, an optional all-inclusive package brings chef-prepared lunches and dinners, a premium open bar, and fresh daily juices. Themed dinner nights span Dominican, BBQ, Mexican, Asian, Italian, and more, and dietary needs are accommodated with ease. The package also includes access to our beach club, transport included — a day of sun and sea with beachside dining and drinks from a curated menu.

Experiences, Arranged
Your concierge can arrange the days around you: private catamaran sailing and deep-sea fishing; waterfalls, off-road trails, and horseback riding; spa treatments, massages, and group yoga on the estate; and, when there's a reason to celebrate, live entertainment, cigar rolling, and a leading event designer who has staged milestone celebrations here.

Included in Your Stay
* One round-trip airport transfer from Santiago (STI) or Puerto Plata (POP), up to maximum occupancy
* Full-time maid service, with laundry included
* Welcome drink and daily breakfast
* A full-time concierge and head of household, dedicated to your group
High-speed Starlink WiFi, backup power, and a private gated estate

*******
Chef-prepared lunches and dinners, a premium open bar, beach club access, and curated experiences are available through our all-inclusive package or à la carte — arranged in advance with your concierge.

This is an absolute 5-star property, in an incredible location, and the most beautiful grounds and outdoor amenities. I agree with the other review, the pictures don’t do the property justice! You will be blown away by the view, the details and quality of the home, all the services (great chef, housekeeper, additional services) and the pool, spa, outdoor showers, peacocks, horses, and so much more. As far as details, all the beds and rooms and bathrooms were beautiful, comfortable and worked well (AC, showers, etc). We didn’t want to leave. We were able to simply relax and enjoy our large group of family and friends, which was an amazing privilege. I feel lucky that I got to bring my friends and family together in this beautiful setting. I can’t wait to be back!

Best Kept Secret in the Caribbean

Driving up to the house defies description, a manicured, tree-covered driveway with beautiful art installations. The villa is truly breathtaking. Completely open air design, magnificently furnished with 3 seating areas inside and out and amazing 2 and 3 dimensional art throughout. Unlike many rental villas that feel quite sterile, this one has an almost “art museum” feel to it. The pictures on VRBO don’t come close to doing justice to the home, the property and the views. The Starlink internet is blazing fast and there are extenders throughout the house. We had planned a chef-prepared dinner for our first night. When we arrived the chef and his helper, along with our bartender, were already here and preparing. There is a separate Chef’s kitchen off the guest kitchen so they are out of sight during prep and clean up. We spent the rest of the night playing pool, lounging in the hot tub and pool, taking sunset pictures on the rooftop patio and eating the magnificent Dominican-themed meal that was provisioned and prepared for us. Perfect. We took a short trip to 2 stunning beaches - both absolutely beautiful with natural shade from trees and plenty of day beds and covered tables. Excellent dining options at both beaches. We felt very welcome and safe. Overall, going back to the subject line of this review, Villa Tala may very well be the best kept secret in the Caribbean. We will definitely be back.
