Sun. Sand. Music. Friends. Drinks. Repeat.

In 2027, VACAYA celebrates 10 fabulous years of creating the world’s greatest LGBTQ+ vacations, and for this milestone season, we’re introducing something entirely new: VACAYA Beach Club!

And no offense to the rest of 2027, but this is gonna be the cool kid.

The first-ever VACAYA Beach Club takes you to Samaná, Dominican Republic, one of the Caribbean’s most breathtaking, laid-back, wildly beautiful beach destinations. VACAYA is taking over Alltra Samaná by Wyndham, a gorgeous all-inclusive beach resort tucked along the Dominican Republic’s northeastern coast, where lush green hills meet turquoise water, palm trees sway like they’re being paid to flirt, and the beach is, without question, the most beautiful one VACAYA’s ever called home.

This isn’t your typical VACAYA Resort vacation.

VACAYA Beach Club is easier. Breezier. More casual. More affordable. More music-forward. More pool-to-beach-to-party-to-nap-to-party-again energy. It’s still VACAYA, of course. Your V Team’ll be there. The parties’ll be there. The entertainment’ll be there. The friendships, the laughter, the ridiculous moments you’ll be talking about for years? Absolutely there.

But the VACAYA Beach Club rhythm is different.

The classic VACAYA Resort vacations are big, theatrical, and packed with signature entertainment moments. VACAYA Beach Club is more vacation all the time. Think daytime DJs, poolside pop-ups, surprise performances, sunset sets, late-night chaos, spontaneous games, beach hangs, and entertainment that finds you instead of asking you to find your seat.

It’s less “what time is the show?”

And more “wait… is that happening right now by the pool?”

Why yes. Yes, it is.

Welcome to VACAYA Beach Club: Samaná!

Come chill. Come dance. Come flirt. Come sleep in. Come stay up. Come with your friends. Come make new ones. Come for Halloween. Just come. Stay for the beach. Leave with a tan, a story, and at least three people you’ll now refer to as “family.”

A BEACH-CLUB EXPERIENCE WITH VALUE PRICING!

You’ve spoken loudly and clearly: you want our land-based all-inclusive vacations to come in at a value price.

VACAYA heard you.

So, your V Team did what your V Team does best: they scoured the planet. Thailand. Mexico. South America. Europe. The Caribbean. They looked high, low, near, far, and everywhere in between for the right resort, in the right place, at the right price, with the right vibe.

And they found her.

Alltra Samaná by Wyndham is the dream resort for our first-ever VACAYA Beach Club vacation. Why? Because it gives the rarest combo in travel: an incredible setting, a gorgeous beach, all-inclusive ease, and a price point that makes this trip one of the most exciting values in our 10-year history.

This is exactly what VACAYA Beach Club is built to be: a lower-cost way to experience the VACAYA magic without lowering the fun, the connection, or that feeling you’ve landed exactly where you’re supposed to be.

Explore all the inclusions and judge the value for yourself:

YOUR TRANSFER IS PART OF THE PARTY

Let’s talk about the included transfer.

Yes, Samaná is a journey. And let’s face it… the resort would be three times the price if it was 15 minutes from Santo Domingo Airport. But VACAYA is not wasting a single minute of your vacation time. VACAYA’s signature Day 1 THIS IS ME party starts the moment you step onto your motorcoach!

Your V Team is working on a plan to be able to check you in right on the coach, hand you your room key before we arrive, and get as much of the boring stuff out of the way as possible. Official check-in is 3pm, so your room may not be ready the second we roll in, but the Beach Club will be. Grab a drink, hit the beach, melt into vacation mode, and VACAYA will get you into your room the moment it’s ready.

VACAYA’S hope is to avoid giant lobby lines with you standing around wondering what happens next. We all recognize vacation purgatory stinks. So, you’ll board. You’ll meet your coachmates. You’ll grab a drink. And you’ll get into the vibe. Your V Team hosts will lead fun, easy, get-to-know-you moments along the way, and by the time you roll up to the Beach Club, you’ll already have a few new friends, a few inside jokes, and probably a group chat you didn’t ask for but will absolutely need.

Your vacation doesn’t begin at check-in. It begins when the coach door closes.

WHY THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC?

Because the Dominican Republic knows how to vacation. AND its resorts offer some of the best value pricing around!

The DR is warm, welcoming, colorful, beachy, musical, delicious, and full of that easy Caribbean energy we all crave when life’s been lifing a little too hard.

And Samaná is one of the Dominican Republic’s great treasures. This isn’t high-rise, mega-resort, could-be-anywhere beach life. Samaná is lush. Green. Wild. Gorgeous. A little more hidden. A little more soulful. It’s where beaches, rainforests, waterfalls, mangroves, mountains, fishing villages, and turquoise water all show up to the same party and somehow don’t overcrowd the room.

Here, you can spend the week doing absolutely nothing and feel like you’ve accomplished everything.

Or you can explore. Beach hop. Boat out. Chase waterfalls. Visit Los Haitises National Park. Discover local food. Wander Las Galeras. Swim. Paddle. Nap. Repeat.

The Dominican Republic gives the accessibility and ease of the Caribbean, while Samaná gives us something more special: a destination that still feels fresh, natural, and alive.

It’s all-new for VACAYA.

And she was worth the wait.

ALLTRA SAMANÁ BY WYNDHAM

For Your week together, Alltra Samaná by Wyndham becomes VACAYA Beach Club: Samaná.

Located in Las Galeras on the Samaná Peninsula, this all-inclusive resort sits along Javo Beach La Playita, one of the area’s most beautiful stretches of sand. The resort has 404 non-smoking rooms, suites, and bungalows, each designed for easy Caribbean comfort, with garden or ocean views, private balcony or terrace options, stocked minibars, flat-screen HDTVs, free WiFi, and the kind of “I may never go home” energy that makes unpacking feel dangerous.

The resort is intimate enough to feel like yours and big enough to give you room to wander, mingle, disappear, reappear, and dramatically say, “Where have you been?” to someone you met 12 hours earlier.

During VACAYA’S takeover, Alltra Samaná transforms into a full Beach Club, with VACAYA’s signature spaces, social programming, parties, entertainment, clothing optional moments, and V Team magic layered throughout the resort.

WHAT MAKES VACAYA BEACH CLUB: SAMANÁ DIFFERENT?

LOWER PRICE. BIG ENERGY.

VACAYA Beach Club is designed to be a more affordable land-based all-inclusive experience than the typical VACAYA Resort vacations. The goal is simple: deliver serious VACAYA value, create a more accessible price point, and open the door for more people to join in on the fun.

MUSIC FIRST

The Beach Club rhythm centers around music, pool time, beach time, and party time. Yes, there’ll be entertainment. Plenty of it. But the week won’t revolve around a traditional theater schedule. Entertainment will pop up in new ways: poolside, beachside, at dinner, at sunset, late at night, and exactly when you least expect it.

THE VIBE IS CHILL, NOT SLEEPY

VACAYA Beach Club is casual, not quiet. It’s laid-back, not low-energy. Think less formal. More barefoot. Less “programmed to death.” More “follow the music.” Dance till the wee hours. Sleep late. Read under a palm tree. Hit the clothing optional pool. Take an excursion. Meet someone at lunch. Re-meet them at midnight when they’re only wearing a jock! That’s Beach Club.

THE BEACH

This beach is the reason VACAYA said yes. Soft white sand. Sparkling water. Palm trees everywhere. That perfect Dominican green-meets-blue backdrop. It’s the kind of beach where you walk out “just to look” and accidentally lose three hours. Beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels are available, so your daily decisions can stay exactly where they belong: Pool or beach? Shade or sun? Margarita or mojito? Nap first or swim first? Sunscreen now or lecture from every responsible friend later? Choose wisely.

ACTIVITIES

This is VACAYA Beach Club, so expect the expected and the deeply unnecessary. Pool gaymes. Beach gaymes. Volleyball. Mixers. Dance moments. Theme days. DJ sets. Pop-up competitions. Low-stakes chaos. High-stakes laughter. Plus all the simple resort pleasures that make an all-inclusive week feel so good: swimming, lounging, eating, drinking, walking the beach, and asking someone what day it is because you truly have no idea anymore.

POOLS

Alltra Samaná gives us the space to create multiple daytime worlds. There’s the main pool scene, where the music, gaymes, drinks, and social energy will live loud and proud. Then there’s VACAYA’s clothing optional pool, the very heart of “Nudie Town,” where the dress code is delightfully minimal and the sunscreen should be applied with intention. Whether you’re fully suited, barely suited, or absolutely not suited, there’s a pool scene waiting for you.

DINING

Alltra Samaná features a mix of included dining options. And because this is VACAYA, dinner is never just dinner. It’s where you meet the people you’ll dance with later. It’s where your group grows by four. It’s where you compare pool stories, excursion stories, costume stories, and whatever happened at 1:25 am that everyone is pretending not to remember.

AZUL

Azul is the beach club’s casual buffet, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with local and international favorites. This is where you’ll eat most of your meals – an easy, breezy, “I need food right now and I don’t need to make a production out of it” home base.

COSECHA

Cosecha is the seaside snack bar for when leaving the beach feels offensive. Grab a bite, refuel, and get back to your regularly scheduled lounging. At night, Cosecha transforms into the coolest beachside buffet around.

UMI

Umi is your seaside spot for Asian favorites, sushi, teppanyaki, and that very specific vacation moment when someone says, “Should we go to Umi tonight?” and everyone immediately agrees. Reservations are required here, which means yes, this is the one tiny moment all week when you may have to make an actual plan. We believe in you.

SEA BREEZE CAFÉ

Sea Breeze Café is your 24×7 light-bite lifesaver, serving fruit, yogurt, freshly baked breads, pastries, sandwiches, and casual snacks whenever the mood hits. Need something before the beach? Go here. Need a little afternoon “I swear I’m only getting a snack” moment? Go here. Need a late-night bite after making questionable but memorable choices? Definitely go here.

BARS & LOUNGES

The bars are where VACAYA Beach Club really starts to hum. And Alltra Samaná has plenty of them…

KAA BAR & LOUNGE

Kaa is your “meet me here” spot. Cocktails, conversation, pre-dinner flirting, post-dinner regrouping, and that one friend who says they’re only having one drink. Adorable.

SUGARCANE

Tropical, bright, and Caribbean to the core, Sugarcane is made for easy drinks, good energy, and casual chaos.

LAS OLAS BAR

By day, Las Olas is exactly what vacation is supposed to feel like. By late afternoon, it becomes the heartbeat of VACAYA Beach Club, home to their signature V-Dances, sunset grooves, and parties that’ll go right into the evening. Come for the view. Stay because the music got good.

NUDIE TOWN PALM BAR

Pool bar. Views. Cocktails. Wet hair. Big sunglasses. Big… ummmm. And a little too much confidence by 2pm. We support this. Because Palm Bar sits inside Nudie Town, clothing optional comfort is absolutely part of the vibe. But when you’re heading up to the bar, please throw on a towel or cover-up out of respect for the wonderful resort team taking care of us. Nudie Town may be wonderfully free, but manners are still required.

COCO BAR

Coco Bar brings relaxed, chill-out energy for those moments when you want the drink, the breeze, and the conversation without having to scream over the music.

CLUB LOUNGE

Club Lounge is the “I’m feeling a bit bougie” add-on you’ll have the chance to purchase shortly before our time at Beach Club. This exclusive retreat offers all-day cocktails, select beverages, and light hors d’oeuvres in a perfectly posh setting near the main beach.

THE RESIDENCES OF VACAYA BEACH CLUB

BUILDING 1 – CENTER OF THE ACTION
Whether you want a Sunset View or Garden View Room, Building 1 puts you right in the center of the Beach Club energy. You’re close to the Front Desk, close to the arrival action, and just a couple minutes from the main pool. This is a great choice for Vacayans who want convenience, people-watching, easy meetups, and a room that makes the phrase “I’ll be there in two minutes” actually believable.

BUILDING 2 – BEST VALUE
Building 2 offers the least expensive rooms at the Beach Club, which makes it the move for value-focused Vacayans who’d rather spend their budget on flights, outfits, excursions, or whatever happened after someone said, “Let’s just have one more.” These rooms keep you close to the main pool and the beach, so you’re never far from the action, the water, or your next frozen drink.

BUILDING 3 – THE GOLDEN GIRLS BUNGALOWS
Picture it: Samaná, 2027. You and your besties are in your bungalow, the lanai is open, someone is making drinks, someone is giving very unsolicited romance advice, and someone else has already changed outfits three times before dinner. Welcome to our Golden Girls Bungalows! Building 3 offers more space than our standard rooms and a fabulous lanai made for pre-gaming, post-pooling, gossiping, laughing, lounging, and living your best Blanche, Dorothy, Rose, or Sophia life. Cheesecake not included. But honestly, we’ll see what we can do. 😉

BUILDING 4 – POOL-TO-PLATE-TO-GYM PERFECTION
Building 4 puts you close to all the good stuff: the main pool, Azul (the Beach Club’s main restaurant), and the Fitness Center. That means coffee, breakfast, lunch, drinks, pool time, a quick workout if ambition briefly strikes, and the all-important “I need to go lie down for 20 minutes” reset are all wonderfully easy. This is a prime location for Vacayans who want to stay near the daytime heartbeat of the Beach Club without overthinking logistics.

BUILDINGS 5, 6, 7, & 8 – NUDIE TOWN
Welcome to Nudie Town, our clothing optional village within VACAYA Beach Club. This is where confidence, sunscreen, consent, and good manners all matter equally. Buildings 5, 6, 7, and 8 create our clothing optional neighborhood, with easy access to the clothing optional pool and VACAYA’s famed Red Light District.

BUILDINGS 5 & 6 – DOWNTOWN NUDIE TOWN
Buildings 5 and 6 are Downtown Nudie Town. These premium rooms offer direct access to our clothing optional pool and the Red Light District, making them the best choice for Vacayans who want to be in the center of the clothing optional action. Roll out of bed. Apply sunscreen. Make choices.

BUILDINGS 7 & 8 – THE NUDIE TOWN SUBURBS
Buildings 7 and 8 are the Nudie Town Suburbs. You’re still part of the clothing optional village, but with a slightly reduced price and a quick 1-2-minute walk to the clothing optional pool. Think of it as close enough to the fun, but far enough away to say, “I live in a quieter neighborhood.” We believe in balance.

ITINERARY

SCHEDULE OF SHENANIGANS

DAY BY DAY

DAY 1

SUNDAY 31 OCTOBER 2027

ARRIVALS – THIS IS ME & HALLOWEEN
19°N 69°W

Welcome to VACAYA Beach Club: Samaná! Your vacation begins the moment you board your transfer coach at SDQ. VACAYA’s hope is to get you checked in, hand you your room key, pour the drinks, break the ice, and launch our signature THIS IS ME experience before we even reach the resort. Once we arrive, if it’s after 3pm, head straight to your room, unpack fast, and let Halloween in paradise begin. Tonight, we kick off the week with costumes, cocktails, music, and the first big reminder that VACAYA knows exactly how to start a vacation.

DAY 2

MONDAY 1 NOVEMBER 2027

BEACH CLUB INITIATION

Wake up in paradise. Today is about finding your people, your pool, your beach chair, your drink, and your rhythm. VACAYA will introduce you to the Beach Club layout, the V Team, the social spaces, Nudie Town, and the week’s flow. Expect pool gaymes, beach time, music, mixers, and the kind of easy first full day that turns strangers into “wait, how did we just spend six hours together?” Tonight, entertainment starts popping up in all the right places.

DAY 3

TUESDAY 2 NOVEMBER 2027

SUN’S OUT. VIBES OUT.

Today, the VACAYA Beach Club hits its stride. The main pool will be alive, the beach will be ridiculous, and Nudie Town will be doing what Nudie Town does best: minding everyone’s business while wearing very little. Expect daytime music, social moments, surprise entertainment, and a sunset vibe that reminds you why land vacations are such a gift. Tonight, the golden energy is going up up up!

DAY 4

WEDNESDAY 3 NOVEMBER 2027

EXPLORE SAMANÁ OR ABSOLUTELY DO NOT

You’ve got choices today. Head out and explore the Samaná Peninsula, where waterfalls, national parks, hidden beaches, boat rides, local food, and Caribbean culture all wait just outside the Beach Club. Or don’t. There’s no shame in choosing the beach, the pool, the bar, and a nap. In fact, we respect it deeply. Tonight, VACAYA brings everyone back together for another round of Beach Club fun at Las Olas, because whether you spent the day adventuring or horizontal, you’ve earned it.

DAY 5

THURSDAY 4 NOVEMBER 2027

NUDIE TOWN BLOCK PARTY

Today, all roads lead to Nudie Town. The clothing optional village gets its moment in the sun with poolside music, hosted moments, body-positive energy, and the kind of playful VACAYA spirit that makes everyone feel welcome exactly as they are. Not a clothing optional person? No problem. The main pool and beach scenes will be fully alive, too. Beach Club is choice. Always.

DAY 6

FRIDAY 5 NOVEMBER 2027

ONE LAST BIG DAY

By now, you know the bartenders, the shortcuts, the best beach chair, and at least one person whose name you absolutely should have learned by now. Today is your last full day together, and we’re making it count with our final V-Dance of the week. But before that… Do the beach. Do the pool. Do the excursion. Do the nap. Do the outfit change. Do the sunset. Do the thing you said you were going to do all week. You can sleep when you’re home.

DAY 7

SATURDAY 6 NOVEMBER 2027

CHECK OUT

All good beach weeks must come to an end, even the ones we try to emotionally negotiate with. Today, you say goodbye to the VACAYA Beach Club, to the palm trees, to the pool, to the beach, to Samaná, and to the people who somehow became wildly important in six short nights. As always with VACAYA, this isn’t just a vacation. It’s a community. A celebration. A little escape from the noise. A reminder that joy still matters. And a very strong argument for booking the next one before you unpack. Until we meet again, VACAYA Beach Clubbers.

Accommodations/Pricing

With Dynamic Pricing, as inventory decreases, category prices increase. So, buy early and save.

SOLO TRAVELERS NOTE
If you’re a Solo Traveler, VACAYA is one of the easiest ways to travel independently without ever feeling alone. You can find great recommendations for finding a roommate HERE, and VACAYA Beach Club is built for connection from the moment you step onto your arrival coach.
