The uniqueness of Golden Dolphin Villa is further magnified by its site design; the estate of Golden Dolphin is actually two separate villas located within the same mountain side retreat. Less than 400 meters apart, transportation between the villas is easily achieved with an estate provided ‘mule’, a gasoline powered all terrain vehicle often used on ranches and other large properties. They are referred to as the ‘upper villa’, or main villa, and ‘lower villa’ or pool villa (since it is nearest the swimming pool).
The pool villa in the estate of Golden Dolphin is so named because it is nearest the swimming pool. A completely independent luxury villa itself, the pool villa provides three of the overall nine bedrooms of the villa. Included in the villa is a complete spacious great room, outdoor shady terraces, the exercise facility, full kitchen and bar and much more.
Magnificent Bedroom Suites
Golden Dolphin Villa offers four spacious bedroom suites and two additional guest suites located inside the Upper Villa with three more beautiful bedrooms suites located in the tri-level Pool Villa of an elegant, yet rustic design. The total of nine spacious, fully equipped and furnished luxury quality bedrooms and suites comfortably accommodate 18 people, giving the Golden Dolphin Villa a very personal feel while making it the perfect place for groups of friends or a family get-together.
Lion Suite (Main Villa)
The master bedroom of Golden Dolphin Villa is named for the king of the jungle because you definitely feel as if you are king of all you survey from this lofty perch. Located on the top-most floor of the villa, the Lion Suite is exceptionally spacious and crowned with a massive king sized bed. Relax in luxury on the soft comfy bed as you drink in the sweeping views of this tropical paradise.
Jaguar Suites (Main Villa)
The main guest suites are named for the largest species of cat native to the Western Hemisphere because of the size, elegance and sleekness of these beautiful guest accommodations. Two face the tropical rain forests and verdant green hills while two others face the ocean. Whichever you pick you will be delighted with the spaciousness, king sized beds and comfortable seating areas.
Puma Suite (Main Villa)
Located near the master suite and just as easily accessible from the elevator is a suite named for one of the most popular felines in the Western Hemisphere, the Puma (Cougar). An elegant small suite with twin beds and an en suite bath as well, the Cougar has gorgeous views of the tropical forests and overlooks the baseball diamond.
Dolphin Suites (Pool Villa)
Located in the lower villa, the Dolphin Suites all offer spacious luxury accommodations with en suite bathrooms, magnificent views, air conditioning and everything else you could want. Two of the suites offer queen sized beds and the largest offers a king sized bed. The décor is more rustic than the main villa but is every bit as luxurious.
Gathering Areas
The Main Villa great room completely captures the elegance and prestigious location of the estate. Spacious and elegantly decorated with soft, supple leather furniture and handmade mahogany side seats, the great room offers ample seating for everyone. Accented by a hand-carved stone fireplace on one side and the sparkling electric bar area on the other side, the great room and its gorgeous ocean vistas soon become the central gathering place for your vacation.
Great Room and Terrace (Main Villa)
Located across the entire ocean facing side of Golden Dolphin’s great room, main entryway and grand dining room is a deep, shady terrace populated with spacious seating for entertaining, relaxing or even dining. The upper terrace provides some of the most magnificent unobstructed ocean views imaginable. Deep blue ocean waters reflect the sparkling baby blue sky during the day and later the star studded evening sky. At the right time of year you can even watch the humpback whales make their way to the Bay of Samana during their annual migration.
Great Room (Pool Villa)
The Pool Villa great room provides another spacious gathering destination nearer to the swimming pool yet with all of the features you expect in a luxury villa. This great room provides additional sweeping ocean views, overlooks the pool area, and offers satellite TV with a superb sound system as well.
Terrace (Pool Villa)
The pool villa also has a complete wrap around terrace offering the same shady resting places with sweeping vistas of the azure blue ocean waters and verdant green tropical forests. Located right by the swimming pool, the pool villa’s terraces are often the scene of lengthy luxurious massages followed by relaxed slumber from our guests. Does this sound like heaven or what?
Dining Room
Every luxury vacation villa rental offers a dining room, but Golden Dolphin’s grand dining room is truly one-of-a-kind. Imagine a huge oval dining room table large enough to seat 18 people comfortably. Imagine each one of the padded mahogany chairs are hand-carved with a wild animal carved into the seat back. Now imagine that the table is made from solid marble, placed in the center of the room with a massive handmade wrought-iron chandelier overhead. This isn’t a fantasy, this is a dream come true in the grand dining room of Golden Dolphin Villa.
Dining at the Golden Dolphin is truly an experience not to be missed. The executive chef is only steps away as mouth-watering cuisine is meticulously created to match even the most discerning palate. Staff can serve you restaurant-style or you can relax and unwind with a splendid buffet style feast.
