This isn't a break from life
It's a return to the heart of what matters
At PALATE, we believe travel should feed more than your wanderlust—it should feed your soul. That’s why we’ve rooted our luxury culinary getaways in the vibrant heart of the Dominican Republic’s North Coast, where every ingredient tells a story and every sunset feels like a celebration.
We partner with exceptional chefs, source the freshest island-grown produce, and craft immersive itineraries that go beyond the plate—from market strolls and farm visits to catamaran cruises and hands-on culinary workshops. Our signature style? Barefoot luxury—a balance of comfort, elegance, and genuine connection that invites you to slow down, savor the moment, and reconnect with what really matters.
Around here, the kitchen is more than just a place to cook—it’s where strangers become friends, and flavor becomes memory.
Our Core Concept
We’re passionate about the North Coast of the Dominican Republic!
And we love food!
We want to share it all with you! We handpick luxurious accommodations and work with some of the best international chefs. By day, we explore the region with exciting activities—food-focused and beyond. Did you know the Dominican Republic is impressively self-sustainable when it comes to food and agriculture?
You’ll get to taste the island’s freshest ingredients firsthand. In the evenings, we come together for interactive cooking workshops, where you’ll experience the joy of creating something special. Finally, we sit down together, eat, and share stories— relaxed, connected, and inspired. Our unique 'Barefoot Luxury' approach blends high-end comfort with a laid-back, relaxed atmosphere, ensuring you feel at ease from the moment you arrive.
The 6 C's of PALATE
At PALATE, every experience is thoughtfully designed around our signature 6 C’s — the pillars that bring our vision of luxury culinary getaways to life. These guiding elements shape everything we do, from the meals we prepare to the moments we share. Together, they create a rich, immersive journey that goes far beyond the plate. Whether it’s tasting the island’s vibrant flavors, connecting with fellow travelers, or collaborating with local artisans and chefs, the 6 C’s ensure that every guest experiences the true essence of Cabarete and the North Coast — relaxed, inspired, and deeply nourished.
Culture
Immerse yourself in the vibrant pulse of the Dominican Republic. From colorful local markets to traditions passed down through generations, culture is woven into every bite and every moment. Taste history. Discover heritage. Feel the island’s soul in everything we do.
Collaboration
True magic happens when people come together. At PALATE, we create space for collaboration — between international chefs and local farmers, between guests from all walks of life, and between flavors from around the world. Every meal is a shared story, written in real time.
Cooking
Step beyond the role of the observer and into the kitchen itself. Through interactive, hands-on workshops, our acclaimed chefs guide you in the art of creating unforgettable dishes using the island’s freshest ingredients. Cooking here is more than technique — it’s an intimate, joyful celebration of creativity and nourishment.
Connection
PALATE is where connections flourish naturally. With every shared meal, every toast, and every laugh, guests rediscover the beauty of slowing down and being present. Whether connecting with nature, others, or yourself, this is where relationships deepen and memories are made.
Community
Our commitment to community runs deep. PALATE partners with local artisans, supports sustainable practices, and gives back through initiatives that empower and uplift. Every getaway helps strengthen the very place that makes these experiences possible — the North Coast of the Dominican Republic.
Compartir
Spanish for "to share," Compartir is the beating heart of PALATE. Here, sharing transcends the table. It’s about exchanging stories, flavors, and experiences that bind us together. When we share openly and generously, every moment becomes richer and every connection more meaningful.
