This exclusive community constructed on the Río Chavón a little over four years ago is a charming replica of Portofino on the Italian Riviera di Levante. The marina, with 40-something-plus slips (and growing), fronts two rows of pastel-colored villas built along a curvaceous promenade lined with upscale boutiques, art galleries, al fresco restaurants emitting a unified seductive call to join La Dolce Vita.
And like the famed coastal town it aims to imitate, the marina has developed into a favored haunt of the local beau monde, Spanish A-list celebrities, as well as villa owners and guests of the adjoining Casa de Campo, the top ranking golf resort in the Caribbean.
