Cabarete is called “the action sports capital of the Caribbean” for a reason. On any given day, the bay is packed with kites towing boarders every which way. Just up the street are excellent surf breaks and in between paddleboarders chill or chase waves themselves. It’s a special place that draws a special kind of traveller and few places cater to that crowd better than the Millennium Luxury Resort. From the moment you walk through the front door at its convenient location in the center of the beach, you get this place. Billowing fabrics hung around the circular welcome area let you know that this is a different kind of adventure sports hotel… The kind that pulls off the amazing trick of feeling like South Beach Delano “Simple Chic” meets the Dominican Republic. The rooms feature sharp lines contrasted by layered curves, immaculately white… well… everything, and tasteful kiteboardering photography. Somehow, in stark contrast to all that simple chic (served up DR style), the rates are actually quite affordable. Rooms begin with garden view suites as low as $100 per night and go up to around $550 per night for the Penthouse during high-season. So, whether you’re a pro kiteboarder or just a guy who spends most of the time dragging himself, face first, through the surf (like me), you won’t want to pass up The Millennium Resort in Cabarete. You may go for the kiteboarding, but you’ll fall in love with the style.
