Catalonia Royal La Romana – Adults Only

An adults-only hideaway on Dominicus Beach
VERIFIED LUXURY
Tucked away on the quiet shores of the Dominican Republic’s Bayahibe, Catalonia Royal La Romana feels like a secret. The adults-only, all-inclusive resort leans into tranquility, where palms sway over white sand and the only real urgency is choosing between the pool lounger or the beach cabana. The property’s clean, modern design blends tropical minimalism with Caribbean charm — think warm woods, crisp linens and oversized terraces where you can sip coffee as the sun rises over the sea. 

Your room is spacious, airy and outfitted with thoughtful details like a rainfall shower, Nespresso machine and hammock-slung balcony. Spend your days taking dips in the infinity pool, enjoying afternoon spa appointments and sipping refreshing cocktails. At night, wander from the beachside Tao-Cat, where Asian flavors meet island ingredients, to BLoved, the farm-to-table standout with ocean views that often steal the show.

Our Inspector's Highlights

  • Catalonia Royal La Romana sits on a calm, palm-lined stretch of Dominicus Beach where the Caribbean Sea is clear and warm, perfect for swimming, snorkeling or simply floating the day away. Unlike more crowded areas of Punta Cana, this stretch feels blissfully unhurried.
  • The 117 rooms are airy sanctuaries, with rainfall showers, crisp white bedding and furnished balconies or terraces, some with swim-up access from the pool. The top accommodation — the duplex — comes with its own pool.
  • With no kids in sight, the vibe stays relaxed and refined — ideal for couples or solo travelers. Even at full capacity, the luxury resort never feels chaotic.
  • Staff remembers your name, your favorite drink and even which side of the pool you like best. Small touches, like nightly turndown service or an unsolicited piña colada while you read, elevate the experience.
  • While the Dominican Republic resort feels like a peaceful retreat, you're just a short boat ride from Saona Island or a quick transfer to local excursions like cenote swimming or hiking in Cotubanamá National Park. It’s the best of both worlds: quiet when you want it, adventure when you’re ready.

The Restaurants

  • Begin your day at Thalassa with a bountiful buffet breakfast featuring fresh fruits, pastries and made-to-order omelets. In the evening, the à la carte dinner menu offers Mediterranean-inspired dishes like grilled seafood and herb-infused pastas, all enjoyed on a terrace overlooking the serene pool area.
  • Overlooking the pool, Siwichi invites you to savor traditional Peruvian cuisine. Signature dishes include ceviche with a citrusy kick and tender lomo saltado (beef stir-fry), providing a delightful fusion of flavors that transport you straight to Lima.
  • Tao-Cat takes you on a culinary journey through Southeast Asia with artfully presented plates in a casually chic open-air setting. Dig into anything from savory ramen bowls to delicate gyoza, all with sunset views.
  • Near the beach, Toscana serves up freshly made pastas, wood-fired pizzas and rich tiramisu in a relaxed, alfresco dining room. BLoved specializes in organic fare with a Caribbean twist for breezy all-day dining.
  • Four bars offer everything from in-pool margaritas to elevated nightcaps.
