Las Estrellas is Araya’s signature restaurant, an open-air dining experience perched above Samaná Bay, where guests consistently describe the food as some of the best they have eaten in the Dominican Republic.
The menu is built around fresh, handcrafted cuisine with strong options for every palate, including a thoughtfully developed vegetarian menu that goes well beyond the afterthought most resort restaurants offer.
This is the kind of meal and experience you plan your day around. Begin with breakfast before a morning on the water. Return for a long, unhurried lunch beside the pool. Settle in for dinner as the light changes across the bay and the evening finds its own pace.
Las Estrellas is open to resort guests and to outside visitors by advance reservation. Tables are limited, so we recommend booking before you arrive.
