Located on the Samaná Peninsula on the eastern side of the island, this five-star hotel offers elegant rooms, suites, restaurants, and bars. A beach shaded by coconut palms, a fitness centre with spa and fitness studio, an outdoor swimming pool and a children's water park add to the attractions at this luxurious home-from-home in the heart of the Caribbean.

Restaurants & bars

The restaurants and bars at the Grand Bahia Principe El Portillo take your taste buds on a journey from Santo Domingo to the shores of Italy. Make yourself comfortable at the Las Dalias restaurant, the Portofino trattoria or the El Pescador restaurant and let your love of food speak for itself.

Activities & lifestyle

Ideally nestled on the edge of Bahía Escocesa, the Grand Bahia Principe El Portillo is bordered by some of the most wonderful landscapes the Dominican east coast has to offer.

This luxurious santuary at the gates of Los Haitises National Park is the starting point for unforgettable rainforest hikes and boat trips along mangrove-lined fjords. Explore El Limón Falls and Playa Rincon, located just a short distance from the hotel. Lay down your towel by the pool or on the fine sand of the private beach without even having to leave the hotel. While the kids are having fun at the Kid's Club or the water park, don't hesitate to indulge in relaxation at the El Portillo Bahia Spa.

Discover the destination

The coastal resort of Samaná is perfect for nature lovers looking for adventure. The stunning landscape of the surrounding area is a breathtaking blend of mountains and waterfalls.
