A golf villa anniversary trip combines the two things a golf-obsessed couple wants most: a world-class course and a genuinely private, staff-run home where every detail is handled. Villa Espada at Cap Cana delivers both. The villa sits on Fairway 5 of Punta Espada — the Jack Nicklaus Signature course ranked #1 in Latin America and the Caribbean by GolfWeek Magazine — with a private chef, personal butler, and an infinity pool overlooking the fairway and the Caribbean coast beyond it. This is not a resort hotel anniversary package. This is your own villa.

Why a Golf Villa Is the Right Anniversary Format

A resort hotel anniversary is someone else's idea of a romantic trip. A golf villa anniversary is yours. The distinction matters because the entire experience is shaped by your preferences, your schedule, and your version of a perfect day — not the resort's version.

At Villa Espada, the chef cooks what you want, when you want it. Breakfast before a 7am tee time looks different from a late-morning meal after sleeping in. The butler books the courses you want to play in the order you want to play them, with no queue at a resort pro shop. The villa is entirely yours — no other guests, no shared pool, no lobby. Just the two of you in a private home on one of the world's great golf courses.

For couples where only one plays, Cap Cana has enough to keep a non-golfer fully engaged: Juanillo Beach is five minutes away, Scape Park offers adventure activities throughout the day, Cap Cana Marina runs deep-sea fishing charters, and Eden Roc Beach Club is a full beach club experience. The golfer plays. The non-golfer has an equally strong day. Both return to the same private villa for dinner on the fairway terrace.

Villa Espada — The Anniversary Setting

Villa Espada is an eight-bedroom private villa on Punta Espada Fairway 5 in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic. For an anniversary trip for two, the villa accommodates a couple with complete privacy and the full staff on duty. There is no minimum occupancy requirement; it is your home for the stay.

  • Private chef: All meals prepared in-villa. Pre-arrival menu consultation through the butler. Breakfast before the round, lunch poolside, dinner on the fairway terrace. No reservation required, no restaurant timing.
  • Personal butler: Pre-arrival coordination for tee times, transfers, excursions, and special arrangements. Anniversary requests — flowers, Champagne on the terrace at sunset, a private beach setup at Juanillo — all handled before you arrive if communicated in advance.
  • Infinity pool overlooking the fairway: The pool faces east over Fairway 5 toward the Caribbean coast. Morning coffee by the pool with the course empty in front of you is the defining image of the stay.
  • Two six-person golf carts: Walk from the villa straight to the first tee. No shuttle, no pro shop queue.
  • Member tee times at Punta Espada and Las Iguanas: Both Nicklaus Signature courses at owner-tier rates. The butler books the full schedule before you depart home.

The Golf — Punta Espada & Las Iguanas

Punta Espada Golf Club is a Jack Nicklaus Signature design that opened in 2006 and has been ranked #1 in Latin America and the Caribbean by GolfWeek Magazine for over a decade. Eighteen holes, par 72. Nine holes play directly along the Caribbean Sea. Villa Espada sits on Fairway 5 — tee times at owner rates.

Las Iguanas Golf Club is the second Jack Nicklaus Signature at Cap Cana, opened November 2025. Three consecutive oceanside holes at 12, 13, and 14 — including a par-three 13th over the Caribbean already cited as one of the great new short holes in the Americas. Member access included at owner rates.
