Retro Jazz Under the Stars — Fishing Lodge Plaza

There are evenings that ask nothing of you except to show up and let the music do the rest. Tonight at the Fishing Lodge plaza is one of them.

Step back into the golden age of jazz — smooth saxophone melodies, timeless classics, and the kind of ocean breeze that makes everything feel effortless. It’s an evening best enjoyed slowly, surrounded by good company and the unhurried rhythm of a Cap Cana night.

Dress for the evening. Arrive early enough to find your favorite spot under the stars.

Green Village Plaza · June 5 · World Environment Day

Plant Bingo — Green Village Plaza

In celebration of World Environment Day, Green Village Plaza is turning the evening into something unexpectedly delightful. Plant Bingo — where every round is a chance to win something living, growing, and beautiful.

It’s lighthearted, it’s outdoors, and it’s exactly the kind of gathering that reminds you why living here feels different. Come for the plants. Stay for the company.

Eden Roc Cap Cana · June 11 – 13

La Tasquita de Enfrente at Eden Roc Cap Cana

For three evenings in June, Eden Roc Cap Cana becomes the stage for something genuinely rare. Juanjo López Bedmar — the celebrated chef behind Madrid’s La Tasquita de Enfrente — arrives with his full philosophy in tow: exceptional ingredients, honest technique, and a deep respect for memory and flavor.

A cuisine rooted in authenticity — where the beauty of an ingredient is reason enough to let it speak for itself.

The residency unfolds over three days — an intimate welcome dinner, a signature dish residency at La Palapa, and a Gala Dinner where the spirit of Madrid meets the warmth of the Caribbean. It is the kind of culinary event that doesn’t come around often, and certainly not in your own backyard.

Reservations are recommended. This one will fill up quietly and quickly.

Sanctuary Town dining and specials

Sanctuary Town has always been one of those places where the evening has a way of extending itself. International flavors, a lively atmosphere, and a reason to come back every day of the week.

Happy hour runs daily — and this summer, each evening comes with its own specialty.

Happy Hour · Every Day
Monday Burgers 2 for 1 on the classics.
Tuesday Tacos Double the tacos, same great evening.
Wednesday Sushi Midweek never tasted this good.
Thursday Pizza The perfect way to close out the week.

A perfect excuse to gather, indulge, and discover something new each visit. The only question is which night to start with.
