Nearby, you can enjoy the culinary art of exquisite French Restaurants as well as typical Dominican food. A few feet away, you have “Paradise Island” a tour operator that offers excursions to tourists visiting Cayo Paraiso. Both Blue Island and Paradise Island offers breakfast, lunch and dinner (dinner on demand) that can be served directly at Villa Gabi's table as if we were part of the restaurants: they also serve drinks to the public. Also at only a 5 minute walk, you can enjoy Lino's Pizza, an authentic Italian that makes an incredible pizza.

The perfect Dominican spot with one of the country’s least percentile of precipitation (it almost doesn't rain), a great condition to guaranty a wonderful outdoor vacation.

Personnel included: Our maid is available for daily cleaning and our gardener sleeps on the premises in a hut outside to assure your safety and comfort.

Punta Rucia is located at 60 km from Puerto Plata city.

Our driver is always available for airport pick up and drop-off from Puerto Plata or Santiago’s International Airport for a maximum of 4 guests + luggages in our SUV and in our Chevrolet Express van we offer services for up to 8 plus luggages.

The use of Blue Island's catamaran is available at an extra cost, including an experienced captain and all the necessary equipment.

We can arrange airport pick up/ drop off: for parties up to 8 people we charge US$250 each way for airport pickup and drop-off from and to the airports mentioned above.

Little Gem
This place was excellent. Nelson, Maria, Kleiby, and his family were the best people we found during our vacation. They treated us like their family. We felt at home. We loved the place, the food, the Blue Island restaurant, and the trip to Cayo Arena, Mangrove, and the attention from all of them made our vacation unforgettable.

Spectacular Paradise Beach Retreat
Natalie & Carl-Philippe were the most accommodating hosts. Their team is amazing - anything and everything catered if one requires. The house is beautiful. The beach is amazing. The locals are friendly. The catamaran blew my mind! If you are looking for white beaches and super blue sea and sky then this is for you. We couldn't have asked for more. Spectacular and so amazing!!! Massive love to Blue Island xx

We could t find a better location to stay in Punta Rucia
When we arrived our host was already expecting us. He arranged for us to go and drove us to Punta Arena. He was always there when we needed him. Made us feel right at home.

About the host

Hosted by Carl-Philippe Mangones

Host profile image
We've been married for 9 years and have a wonderful baby girl of 8 years of age. We love the water and enjoy our weekends on our boat!

Why they chose this property

This was love at first site! We first bought our boat in 2012 and in 2013 we bought our first house on the beach (Villa Mango).
A year later, we found this great opportunity to buy our second house. We jumped on the occasion and remodeled it by today's standards, this was certainly the second best real estate decision we have taken in our 9 years of marriage.
This is truly a unique paradise far from the big crowd!

What makes this property unique

Beach House right on the bay, with protection from the Atlantic big waves. This is the perfect spot for the family and small kids to enjoy the tranquility of calm waters. Punta Rucia is still a quiet and secret touristic site away from the big crowd. This is a small town where everyone knows each other by name and live in harmony. This is truly the perfect spot to disconnect and have true relaxing vacations.
