Sanctuary Cap Cana is owned by Francisco Martínez and will become the first Playa managed resort under a Marriott International brand.

Playa Hotels & Resorts executive vice-president and chief investment officer Fernando Mulet said: “In our first joint venture with Marriott International, Sanctuary Cap Cana is the perfect choice for the level of style and sophistication that has made Marriott’s The Luxury Collection resorts the standard-bearer for unique, one-of-a-kind vacations.”

The Luxury Collection by Marriott has 123 hotels in 41 countries and territories.

In February this year, The Luxury Collection opened The Ocean Club, its first property in the Dominican Republic’s northern coast.
