Villa Pandora: Beachfront, oceanview villa w/ heated pool, games, chef & staff

Welcome to Villa Pandora!

This villa includes a private chef, a butler, daily housekeeping and an on-site villa manager. Experience the perfect location with this beautiful 8-bedroom villa, right on the stunning Bávaro Beach. Perfectly situated, the villa is just a short walk from beach clubs, restaurants, and bars, etc. Experience an unforgettable Caribbean beach vacation at this delightful location.

The villa was fully renovated in the fall of 2023.

LOCATION:

Nestled in the vibrant Los Corales neighborhood of Bavaro-Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic, Villa Pandora offers an exclusive beachfront experience with a breathtaking ocean view. Accessible through a private gate reserved for owners and tenants, this villa provides a stunning retreat in a bustling area.

Los Corales is a lively area where everything is conveniently located within walking distance, allowing you to immerse yourself in the local lifestyle. Whether mingling with tourists and locals or exploring the area's attractions, the area is safe to walk both day and night.

Indulge in the ultimate beach day with two fabulous beach clubs just steps away from the villa. Bavaro Beach, with its 30 miles (48 kilometers) of pristine coastline, offers endless opportunities for relaxation and recreation.

When you're ready for a break from the beach, explore the narrow streets of Los Corales, where you can find plenty of restaurants, bakeries, cafes, and bars serving both local and international cuisine.

Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) is located about 11 miles (18 kilometers) from Los Corales, and Santo Domingo Airport (SDQ) is about a 3-hour drive away.

THE SPACE:

Villa Pandora is an 8-bedroom, 8 1/2 bath, 3-story, beachfront villa reminiscent of a Miami-style luxury mansion. This villa is the essence of modern minimalism paired with the most gorgeous ocean view! NOTE: Access to the 2nd and 3rd floors of the villa, requires climbing several flights of stairs, as there is no elevator available.

The villa was fully renovated in the fall of 2023 – new bathrooms, bar, kitchen, furniture and covered rooftop terrace.

Step into luxury as Villa Pandora beckons you with its grand black double front doors. The 1st floor (UK: ground floor) features a game room, bar, and a private, HEATED pool, creating the ultimate entertainment zone. Challenge your friends to a game of poker, show off your skills at the pool table, or enjoy a lively round of ping-pong. Relax in the bar area (drinks are not included), sink into the sofa, and catch a game on TV. Step outside to your private courtyard-style swimming pool, complete with a cascading waterfall, pool deck, and lounge chairs.

Ascend to the 2nd floor (UK: 1st floor) to discover the main living and dining area, designed with an open floor plan that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living. The open kitchen is fully equipped for cooking delicious meals, and for an extra touch of luxury, a private chef is included (food and beverages are not included).

Dine al fresco on the large balcony overlooking the beach and ocean, or head up to the 3rd floor for another outdoor dining area and kitchen/BBQ, offering even more breathtaking views. Villa Pandora is a sanctuary of luxury and relaxation, promising an unforgettable stay in paradise.

Phenomenal Guest Experience
The home was great, but the staff made the stay exceptional. From the initial communication to the hugs goodbye at the end of our stay, they were all attentive, friendly and service driven. The chef created delicious meals morning, noon and night and the team delivered with ease. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the DR and a huge part was this crew!

Great Location Perfect for Big Groups
We had a great stay at Villa Pandora. The house is set up perfectly for big groups that want to travel together but have their own space. The chef, housekeeping staff, butler and villa manager were all wonderful, attentive and went above and beyond to make our stay relaxing and fun. The only small issue was there were lots of flies around when there wasn't a breeze off of the ocean but there's not much that could have been done about that. Would definitely stay here again!

Great House for a Great Long Weekend
Piero as a Villa Manager was very easy to work with, McKenzie was awesome at the house and the rest of the Staff were wonderful. Chef made amazing meals for us all weekend and we just had a great time around Punta Cana both while we were out and especially while we were at Villa Pandora. Can't wait to go back and spend more time on Bavaro Beach and will definitely stay at Villa Pandora in the future.

Book it!
I can’t say enough positive things about this house. From booking it, to working with management company, to arriving and having staff- everything was perfect. The house is way bigger than the pictures showed. There are several layers to the house and different places to relax. Sitting on the deck and watching the ocean was my favorite thing to do. We were a group of 14 and all of us agreed this is one of the best experiences ever. We utilized the chef which I highly recommend. Makenzie assisted with our daily needs. As well as perio who helped coordinate excursions. The ladies that cleaned the house were so amazing. You are in a gated are. Tons of restaurants within walking distance. Two are right there. You can walk the beach in either direction for quite a distance. There are several shops nearby. Definitely a great place to stay just book it- you won’t be disappointed.

The location and views are exactly as advertised. The views from the main and upper levels of the villa were gorgeous through the day and even at night . Place is safe ,clean with excellent amenities . The house itself met our needs - comfortable beds, each room had 1-2 bathrooms, 2 clean kitchens, a refreshing pool, a big speaker, and well-stocked table games on the ground floor. The swimming pool was well maintained and is an excellent addition to the fun. Pool table , ping pong table and other entertainment amenities were excellent. And the staff - Charo and Clary made the place clean the entire duration of our stay while being discreet when necessary and helpful when you needed them . Piero and Claudia our villa managers were extremely helpful - responding to every request promptly and delivering above expectations. And Chef Roidi was our man , every meal Chef made was on point - including BBQ, seafood pasta and Dominican chicken and all the breakfasts . We took the grocery service and the prices were very reasonable and the food provided was excellent quality including the juices , fruits etc . Overall we had a Wonderfull experience at this Villa and Punta Cana and definitely will recommend .

GREATEST VACATION YET!!
This was our first experience staying in a Villa in a foreign country, so it was an all new experience. Our son was getting married, and we had family and friends stay together at this gorgeous 8-bedroom Villa. The breathtaking views of Bávaro beach from the balconies are incredible. It was an ideal place for some pre-wedding photos and family photos in general!! Our chef, Roidy, was absolutely outstanding! Be sure to have breakfast at the Villa at a minimum. We had the Chef prepare a Dominican dinner on our last night and ate out on the balcony. It was absolutely magnificent!! The maids, Charo and Clary, were amazing and we came home from the beach or from excursions to find clean floors, clean bedding, fresh towels, and even our laundry done and folded!! It was beyond amazing! Claudia, the Villa Assistant Manager, took care of any need that arose throughout the entire week, from getting ice last minute, helping us find things around town, translating when we needed help, and basically assisting in any way we asked. She literally feels like family now and has been encouraged to come visit us in the States! This 8-bedroom Villa is gorgeous and inviting. The views from the balconies cannot be beat!! The home was huge and the pool table, ping pong table and swimming pool kept the younger guests and even the adults entertained. Truly a very special place, we cannot express how incredible the entire experience was! A complete dream come true!!

loved it!!
The location of this house was amazing, less than 50 feet from the beach. Seaweed was an issue but that is to be expected in early August. Overall, we felt very safe exploring the beach in both directions during daylight. There is a great inflatable waterpark at Melie Carib (about 12 minute walk) that was $20 per kid/per hour and well worth the cost!!! We went with the silver meal plan and were very happy. The food was delicious! We chose to let the chef pick the menu and it was all so good. The baked fish was our favorite!! Piero (on-site villa manager) was so helpful with planning all of our excursions and had great suggestions for us. He was able to arrange a bus for our group of 16 to go to Juanillo Beach with only 1 hour notice! The house was always clean, even with 10 kids. Pool is actually larger than it seems in pictures. It was an added bonus for the kids when we came back from beach or excursions. Looking forward to returning back to Punta Cana!!

Good location
How did I enjoy my stay?, this is a yes and no answer. 1. The location was awesome, host, house staff and chef was super awesome 👌 👏. 2. The actual villa needs a major renovation. There was mold in the bathrooms, baby roaches crawling around, and 2 days without a/c on the first floor were guest spent most of their time on the second floor due to ac issues. 3. All furniture needs to be updated holes in pool furniture and and kitchen chairs. Please don't take pictures of misleading photos and post on VRBO as this is not fair to customers. Thanks Tera

This villa was great for my group of 16 young adults celebrating a birthday! The rooms were spacious and beds in some rooms were able to be converted which was great for the men in my group who shared a room. The staff was awesome and the chef prepared delicious food! They were very accommodating with anything my group needed including laundry. The only thing I wish was better was the pool. It's beautiful and big, but it was pretty cold our entire stay. I wish it was a heated pool. Other than that, everything else was perfect. I will definitely book this villa again in the future and highly recommend if you have a large group.

Unrivaled Experience for Big Group
Our group had a fantastic stay at Villa Pandora, which exceeded our expectations. First - the location and views are exactly as advertised. You are 100 yards from the ocean, with direct beach access: you take off your shoes, throw on your suit and head straight to the water. The views from the main and upper levels of the villa were gorgeous through the day and even at night to see the stars Beyond that - the house itself met our needs - comfortable beds, each room had 1-2 bathrooms, 2 clean kitchens, a refreshing pool, a big speaker, and well-stocked table games on the ground floor. The décor was very basic, which meant you didn't have to tip-toe around anything. And the staff - well to be honest we didn't know what to expect as none of us had stayed with live-in staff before - but simply put, they were just incredible. Charo and Clari made the place clean the entire duration of our stay while being discreet when necessary and helpful when you needed them, They even humored our "spanish-speaking" guests attempt at having a conversation. Piero, our villa manager, was extremely helpful - responding to every request promptly and delivering above expectations. We bought a drink package and Piero kept it incredibly well-stocked. And Chef - every meal Chef made was on point - including BBQ, seafood pasta and Dominican chicken (mmm) amongst plenty more. Getting breakfast served every morning was a welcome addition to a long night out. Finally, our group felt extremely safe the whole time - there is 24/7 security monitoring the gated community housing the villa, plus the numerous vendors nearby who were welcoming and always down for a good laugh. If the group ventured out late at night, Piero was always able to get us a private chauffer. I would highly recommend villa Pandora for any group looking to have good time in Punta Cana.

This was my first time using VRBO, and all I can say is what a great experience! The property manager, Chef, and staff were terrific. There was not one thing missing from the lobster and paella dinners, amazing lunches, and fresh fruit. The villa staff handled everything from shopping, logistics, and Covid testing. The villa massages are a must! Also, please ask Chef to make some of the local meats for Tacos! Eight of us took a four-day trip fishing, beach, and party excursion. The pool, pool tables, and table tennis were a blast. Thank you for helping make some wonderful memories, and I look forward to bringing my family and kids back to the Villa!

What an experience!
Villa Pandora far exceeded all expectations. First, the property. Pictures don't do this place justice. The layout is fantastic. Its exceptionally clean and everything you need is at your finger tips. Also, it was secure and 100 yards from the beach and bars/restaurants. Second, and most importantly, the Staff. Before our trip, everything was taken care of from transports, to golf, to menus and even scheduling COVID tests to return home. Our house manager could not have been more helpful in taking care of last minute itinerary changes, checking in on how we were doing, and re-stocking anything we needed. He was our go to for everything and never failed to deliver. The biggest stars of the trip was the House Staff and Chef. Even after some long evenings of over indulgence, we awoke to a spotless house every morning. They took care of us and looked after all our clothes, personal items, etc. The Chef was amazing. It sounds cliché, but the food rivals what you would receive at many great restaurants. Each meal seemingly only got better. All in all, we never had a reason to leave the house. Would Highly Recommend!

We stayed at Villa Pandora January 18-25 and had an amazing time! The location is perfect, and the entire staff went above and beyond to make our week absolutely perfect! We are foodies and chef Roidy did not disappoint! We had an abundance of delicious seafood and local dishes and he handled our dietary restrictions very well. The girls were so sweet and helpful with anything we needed and the place was always neat and clean, they even did some of our laundry! Alix, the house manager, is a consummate professional and got us anything we asked for. Our large extended family has been renting vacation properties through HomeAway for 7 years now and this was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! I can’t say enough nice things about the house and location. The beach is amazing, water is warm and clear. The beach is mostly clean, but I did notice many tourists just leaving their trash. I urge everyone to stop this practice! Let’s keep our oceans clean :) Just outside the gates, there is a cute little mini village with some restaurants and amazing homemade popsicles! Try the passion fruit dipped in chocolate. You won’t regret it! You can go into town (about a 15 minute drive) for nightlife. We didn’t end up doing this, but it seemed very safe. All in all we had an amazing trip and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again! If you are having reservations or deciding between Teo properties, pick this one, you will not be disappointed!

Everything was outstanding, from the pre-vacation communications with Bodil to organise the stay (very responsive and helpful), to the villa itself (directly on the beach, AC very effective in each room which is a necessity especially in the summer, large pool, game room which was used by everyone, very clean), to the staff which was super nice and effective and kept the house clean at all times. We bought the all inclusive package for food and drinks and were not disappointed. Kudos for the chef as all meals were soooo good! For those who are wondering if there are seaweeds in the DR, there are, but it did not prevent us from swimming in the beautiful blue ocean or walking on the white sand beach. The beach is so large that you can walk for hours (the only downside is the constant solicitation on the beach for activities and other goods). I would definitely recommend Villa Pandora. Thank you for making this family vacation a success !
