The property includes two private pools — a ground-level pool and a rooftop infinity pool — and a 16-person hot tub.
What is included in a stay at Villa Espada?
Every Villa Espada booking includes a full private staff: a private executive chef, a butler who also serves as the dedicated villa manager, two maids providing daily housekeeping, private transportation and airport transfers, and two six-person golf carts kept at the villa. Villa Espada is not an all-inclusive resort — food and beverage for chef-prepared meals is billed at cost plus a 15% service charge.
What golf access do Villa Espada guests get?
Villa Espada guests receive the Punta Espada member-guest discounted rate — a reduced green fee exclusive to Villa Espada renters through the villa's private arrangement with the course, about $200 per golfer per round below published guest green fees. Guests also have access to Las Iguanas, Cap Cana's second Jack Nicklaus Signature course, at the course's regular rates. Two six-person golf carts stay at the villa; two additional carts are available to rent for $75 per cart, per day.
Punta Espada is the Jack Nicklaus Signature course the villa sits on, ranked #1 in the Caribbean and Mexico by GolfWeek for eight consecutive years and a former host of the PGA Champions Tour.
