BÁVARO, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC — In a sophisticated setting lit by warm ambient lights, the grand opening of Reserva Real by Harper marked a significant milestone in the evolution of the hospitality landscape in Bávaro–Punta Cana. The high-profile launch event unveiled this premium hotel development by Noval Properties, in strategic partnership with Archipelago International, Southeast Asia’s largest privately owned hotel group.
Held at the hotel’s newly completed facilities on Avenida Alemania, just steps from Cocotal Golf & Country Club, the evening served as a showcase of luxury and innovation. The gathering brought together investors, entrepreneurs, media representatives, and key stakeholders from the Dominican Republic’s tourism industry.
More than a launch, the event symbolized a game-changing alliance aimed at redefining the guest experience in the Eastern region. In his address, César Latrilla, CEO of Noval Properties, emphasized, “Archipelago International’s entry into the Dominican Republic is a strong vote of confidence in our country as a regional hub for tourism and investment. Reserva Real by Harper is a unique concept that attracts capital, creates jobs, and presents the best of our nation to the world.”
With this new addition, Noval Properties reinforces its role in shaping a forward-looking tourism ecosystem by offering a mix of autonomy, contemporary design, and high-end amenities. The project not only enhances Bávaro’s hotel offering but also underscores the growing appeal of the Dominican Republic for private investors seeking opportunities in strategic destinations.
Reserva Real by Harper is a five-star property crafted for the modern traveler. Each suite includes a kitchenette, washer/dryer, and private balcony—tailored for both short and extended stays. The hotel features an outdoor pool, rooftop lounge, gym, spa, multiple restaurants and bars, event spaces, and on-site parking. This hybrid concept fuses the independence of residential living with the personalized service of a luxury hotel, powered by Archipelago’s global hospitality experience, which spans more than 200 destinations and 45,000 rooms worldwide.
At Punta Cana Post, we view developments like this as crucial drivers of sustainable tourism growth and diversification. We will continue to monitor the evolution of this project and its broader impact on the community and tourism sector.
