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.

Las Dalias

Las Dalias welcomes you for lunch and dinner and serves international dishes to enjoy with your family. Its generous buffets offer a wide selection of fresh pasta, meat and grilled fish dishes and fish served in sauce, as well as gourmet desserts and tropical fruits.

Portofino

Antipasti, risotto, pizza, fresh pasta, tiramisu and panna cota: as its name suggests, Portofino is the Grand Bahia Principe El Portillo's specialist in Italian cuisine. The restaurant serves specialities to please all ages.

El Pescador

When the flavours of Creole and Mediterranean cuisine meet, it's on the plates of El Pescador restaurant that it happens! Tuck into impeccably fresh and delicious fish and seafood dishes looking out over Samaná Bay.

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

Nestled between sea and mountains, Las Terrenas reveals an authentic face of the Dominican Republic. Bathed by the turquoise waters of the Atlantic, this former fishing village blends bohemian charm with tropical softness. Wild beaches lined with coconut palms, such as Playa Bonita and Playa Cosón, invite you to stroll or slide, while the green hills of the Samaná peninsula are home to lush waterfalls and secret paths. In Las Terrenas, nature reigns supreme, between secluded coves, peaceful mangroves and spectacular landscapes sculpted by time. A corner of paradise where every moment seems suspended.
