Casa Caona

Hi, I’m Grace! I’ve spent my whole life working in tourism, and today I feel grateful to call El Valle my home. This little corner of the Dominican Republic is a place I fell in love with instantly — where the jungle meets the ocean, where barefoot living feels natural, and where community truly matters. At Casa Caona, we’ve created more than a stay — we’ve built a space where people feel at home, welcomed, and connected. Our community is made up of locals, travelers, artists, and nature lovers who share the same passion for slow living, culture, and meaningful moments. I just love receiving guests from all over the world and showing them the magic of this place, the warmth of Dominican culture, and the peaceful rhythm of life here.

Tucked between palm trees and the whisper of El Valle’s breeze, Casa Caona is your quiet corner of the wild. Designed for simplicity, comfort, and connection to nature, this hidden sanctuary is just a 5-minute walk to the spectacular beach of El Valle. With thoughtful details, natural textures, and warm energy, Caona invites you to slow down, sink in, and stay awhile. Loft style apartmans with spacious living space, 1 bedroom and large wardrobe. The lofts have a huge private terrace facing the beautiful topical garden. There is 1 kingbed in the bedroom and a big and comfortable sofa bed in the living space. Spacious bathroom with a shower and views to the corwn of the palmtrees. Fully equipted kithcen with microwawe, fridge and blender.

El Valle is one of the most beautiful and untouched corners of the Dominican Republic — a secluded jungle valley surrounded by mountains, rivers, and abundant nature. It’s a place where you instantly feel the magic of the tropics and the peace that comes with being far from the noise of the city. Just a few minutes from the property you’ll find Playa El Valle, considered one of the top beaches in the country. It’s completely virgin and wild, with dramatic cliffs, golden sand, and the kind of beauty that feels almost unreal. Many visitors say it’s unlike anything they’ve ever seen. From the same beach, a short 5-minute boat ride takes you to Playa Ermitaño, often listed among the most beautiful beaches in the world. Hidden, calm, and postcard-perfect, it’s the ideal place for swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing in a true tropical paradise. The area also offers amazing natural attractions such as the El Valle Waterfall, and the Samaná Zipline, the biggest and most exciting jungle zipline in the entire Dominican Republic. El Valle is also perfectly located to explore the whole Samaná Peninsula. From here, you can easily visit Las Terrenas, Santa Bárbara de Samaná, Playa Frontón, Playa Rincón, and many other iconic spots, making it the ideal base for discovering the region’s beaches, nature, and culture. Whether you’re looking for adventure or total relaxation, the neighborhood offers a unique mix of beauty, tranquility, and authentic Dominican charm.
