At Minitas Garden, two of you can be out the front door and onto Minitas Beach before the rest of the group has finished breakfast. The villa sits in Jardín Minitas, the residential pocket directly behind the beach, with the beach access road right at the gate and beach-club service ready on the other side. Five bedrooms, ten guests, an included cook handling all the meals.
On most days the group splits across the property. Some come back from the sand with damp towels and stretch out by the pool. The others read on the sofas under the vaulted ceiling, garden doors open behind them. The kitchen runs to the back of the house with a long prep island where drinks come together. By evening everyone gathers in the botanical-wallpapered dining room for the meal.
From Jardín Minitas the rest of the resort is a short cart ride. Teeth of the Dog and The Links both tee off the same distance away, ranked the Caribbean's top course by the World Golf Awards, with the Spa and the Marina on the same loop. Altos de Chavón sits a longer drive across the resort but the trip is worth it for an evening. Minitas Garden is the villa to book when the beach is the trip — when you want the sand at the front door, not at the other end of a cart ride.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How close is Minitas Garden to Minitas Beach, and is the beach walkable from the villa?
Minitas Beach is a short walk across the resort road from the villa's front gate. The villa sits in Jardín Minitas, the small residential pocket directly behind the beach — closer to the sand than the Los Limones villas a little further inland. Guests usually walk over with a towel under their arm; Minitas Beach Club provides loungers and chairs on the sand, full food and drink service through the day, and watersports rentals on request. The villa is set up for groups who want their beach day to start at the front door, not at the other end of a cart ride.
Q: Which golf courses are closest to Minitas Garden, and how are tee times arranged?
Teeth of the Dog (ranked the Caribbean's top course by the World Golf Awards) and The Links both tee off a short cart ride from the villa, the same distance from the front door. Tee times are arranged through the resort concierge ahead of arrival and confirmed in person at the pro shop on the day; green fees are paid at the course. The Spa and the Marina sit on the same short-ride loop, so a morning round, a midday spa visit, and a marina lunch all fit into one day without crossing the resort twice.
Q: Is Minitas Garden a good fit for a family with young children?
Yes. The five bedrooms accommodate ten guests across multiple bed configurations, the private pool is set into the back terrace within sight of the great room, and the tropical garden gives kids room to move outdoors without leaving the property. The cook handles all meals on-site — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — which removes the logistics of feeding a group across the day. Crib hire, high chairs, and other baby gear can be arranged through the concierge ahead of arrival.
Q: Can Minitas Garden host a private dinner or gathering for the full group of ten?
Yes. The open-plan great room runs under a vaulted beamed ceiling with multiple seating zones, the formal dining room comfortably seats ten at the long table, and the pool deck extends the entertaining footprint outdoors. Most guests find the villa supports a long-table dinner inside and an after-dinner zone by the pool without anyone moving furniture. For larger gatherings, additional waitstaff and event coordination can be arranged through the concierge.
