About this property

Private & Exclusive Luxury Villa.

HACIENDA TALA — HILLTOP LUXURY ESTATE
Nestled on a hilltop overlooking one of the most pristine beaches on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic, Tala has no equal.
This hilltop luxury estate combines the privacy and exclusivity of a private villa with the comforts and amenities found at the world's finest hotels. Whether your group is here to celebrate, unwind, or simply disappear from the world for a while — Tala was built for exactly that.

THE PROPERTY
When your group books Tala, you have the entire estate to yourself. Your private resort. Your paradise. Your people.

BEDROOMS & CONFIGURATIONS
Now Available — The Main Villa | 6 Bedrooms | Up to 12 Guests
Six ensuite bedrooms, all equipped with King bed, AC and a fan. A powder room and two outdoor showers are available throughout the property. Daily maid service included.

Available from May 1st — Full Estate | 11 Bedrooms | Up to 22 Guests
Starting May 1st, Tala expands with a newly completed adjacent building set into the hillside, where large glass doors frame a picturesque view of the beach and ocean below.

This building adds 5 new grand suites, each with a King size bed, private bathroom and large glass windows that open the room to a private terrace. Wake up to nature. Fall asleep to it.

Also opening May 1st: Tala's full private spa and wellness studio — housed within the new adjacent building, looking out into the tropical hillside greenery through large glass windows. A sanctuary reserved exclusively for your group that includes an infrared spa and cold plunge, massage treatment room and gym. Spa treatments available by appointment throughout your stay.

Two orientations. One unforgettable estate.

MAIN FLOOR INDOOR
Tala is a majestic space. The views from this house are truly memorable — ocean and mountains from wherever you stand. No expense was spared in decorating and furnishing this gorgeous space with high-end designer touches throughout. The pictures do not do this place justice.

OUTDOOR SPACES
Thoughtfully designed for relaxation and connection — the outdoor areas are yours to enjoy at your own pace throughout your stay.

POOL / HOT TUB
A majestic infinity pool with stunning ocean views, complemented by a private hot tub. Both are available for your group's enjoyment throughout your stay.

THE BAR
Imagine your group gathered around a fully equipped bar — drinks in hand, music going, not a care in the world. We make that easy.

Add our all-you-can-drink package for any or all days of your stay and a dedicated bartender takes care of everything — unlimited drinks, water, and ice included. Available for groups of 10 or more. Prefer to stock your own? The bar setup is yours to use. A bartender can also be added as a standalone service.
Inquire for current pricing and availability — we'll build the experience around you.

THE KITCHENS
The main kitchen is equipped with everything you need. The separate commercial kitchen is where the magic happens — our chefs craft delicious, customized meals in a restaurant-grade space. Packages range from breakfast plans to full all-inclusive.

WIFI
High-bandwidth, high-speed WiFi throughout the entire property, powered by Starlink.

THE WELLNESS CENTER
(Available from May 1st)
The new adjacent building is home to Tala's dedicated wellness space — a gym and full-service private spa set within a building designed around natural light and landscape views. Large glass windows look out onto the hillside canopy and the ocean beyond, making every workout and every treatment feel like part of the environment around you.

The gym is equipped with mats, a treadmill, and a full set of weights. Treatments at the spa are available by appointment and reserved exclusively for your group throughout your stay. Inquire for the full experience.

SECURITY / ELECTRICITY
On-site security and a backup generator that powers the entire facility, including all ACs.

YOUR CUSTOMIZED STAY
From the moment you book, our team helps you plan the most extraordinary vacation you can imagine — transportation, excursions, spa programming, customized menus, and more. The more we know ahead of time, the better prepared we are to make this your best trip ever.

EVENTS & WEDDINGS
Special events and weddings were designed into the heart of this magical property. Starting May 1st, The Glass Wing adds an entirely new dimension of possibility. Ask us about hosting your event here.

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.
