Location is one of the defining features of MAKAI Cap Cana.
The development enjoys a rare lakefront position surrounded by water, tropical scenery, and golf. Juanillo Beach, known for its white sand and turquoise Caribbean waters, is only minutes away.
The newly unveiled Las Iguanas Golf Course is also next to the development.
As a result, residents can enjoy a peaceful natural environment while remaining connected to the beaches, restaurants, marina, golf, entertainment, and services of Cap Cana.
MAKAI stands out for its distinctive M-shaped architectural design.
Sculpted forms, open terraces, and thoughtful positioning help maximize natural light and air circulation while providing greater privacy and impressive views.
Front-facing residences enjoy panoramic views across the lake toward the Caribbean Sea. Meanwhile, residences on the opposite side overlook the golf course and surrounding tropical landscape.
Inside, the design follows a calm and contemporary aesthetic. Natural tones create an elegant atmosphere, while generous floor plans provide comfortable living spaces.
Floor-to-ceiling windows bring natural light into each residence. Living areas also flow directly onto private balconies and terraces, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
