A Swiss legacy in the Caribbean:
The history of Hotel Las Cayenas

Since the 1990s, Hotel Las Cayenas has been a beachfront retreat in Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic. Founded by Marie Antoinette, a Swiss visionary, the hotel was acquired in 2004 by Swiss Lars Honegger and Kanesh Wollenmann, who shared a friendship and a dream of doing business together. They transformed the space with a complete remodel, which included the creation of a pool and a renovated restaurant. Today, Las Cayenas combines colonial charm with Caribbean warmth, offering a calm and safe environment where every detail is designed to give you an unforgettable experience.

“It is a cozy place to hang out by the sea. They don’t have many food options, but they have enough to spend some time. Excellent for a choir.”
