The space
A Regenerative Oasis in the Mountains of Jarabacoa

​The Experience
Nestled in the high, mist-shrouded peaks of the Dominican Republic, this eco-retreat is more than a destination; it is a living testament to the harmony between humanity and nature. Designed around the principles of permaculture and high-performance sustainability, our mountain home offers a profound sense of peace for those looking to reconnect with the rhythms of the earth.
​Wake to the symphony of tropical birds and the gentle flow of hand-built swales and mineral ponds. Whether you are taking a refreshing dip in the clay-lined pools or lounging by the mountain stream, every element of the landscape has been engineered to recharge both the groundwater and the spirit.

​The Living Landscape
Wander through a budding food forest of over 14 species of bamboo, citrus groves, native shrubs and vibrant tropical fruits. Our property is an active demonstration of soil-building and biodiversity, where "chop-and-drop" mulching and nitrogen-fixing plants create a thriving ecosystem. Guests are invited to immerse themselves in this green sanctuary, spotting local wildlife or simply finding a quiet corner to observe the beauty of a landscape in restoration.

​The Architecture of Connection
At the heart of the property is our signature, hand-crafted bamboo outdoor kitchen. This open-air space is designed for communal connection, where guests can gather for sunset drinks or shared meals overlooking the terraces. Throughout the gardens, you will find bespoke furniture crafted from local materials, positioned to offer the perfect vantage point for meditation, yoga, or quiet reflection.

​The Ideal Guest
This sanctuary is curated for the eco-adventurer, the wellness seeker, and the intentional traveler. If you value authenticity, regenerative living, and the serenity of a sustainable-inspired lifestyle, you will find your reference point here.
​Unwind in comfortable, thoughtfully designed lodging surrounded by the sights and sounds of the mountains. Book your stay and experience a space where sustainability is not just a practice, but an invitation to navigate a more meaningful way of life.

Guest access
You have your own area with plenty privacy, but we do live on the property and you may find us in the garden or in our outdoor kitchen with its wood fired BBQ and clay oven where you are welcome to join us. We also have a second rental unit on the property so you may meet other guests if they are around. There are many paths around the property to go walking and exploring. You are welcome to come visit us at the main house. Please note that Quintas Del Bosque is a secure, gated, guarded property, not a party house or a place for loud music. This is a place to hear the sounds of nature.

Should Jacques provide any transportation service for you: it is your responsibility to pay him for his gasoline and for his time. He is happy to provide this service and help in ways to make your stay enjoyable, but, he is NOT there to serve you at his expense.

PLEASE PAY JACQUES FOR ANY SERVICES and TIME.

These are some of the services he can provide...
Taking you to the waterfalls
Hikes
Grocery store runs
Taking you on his motorcycle to town or other locations.

Other things to note
The mountains are cooler than the coast, so have something warm to wear after dark. We do get rain and some of the areas can get damp or wet if there is wind with the rain. We have many stairs on the property in order to access your accommodation. We strongly suggest that you stop for groceries in town BEFORE arriving a once you do arrive you won's want to leave to go back to town to shop for groceries.

Where you’ll be

Jarabacoa, La Vega Province, Dominican Republic

This mountainous area is really spectacular. In this region you can go white water rafting, paragliding and several day trips to places like Manaboa and La Cieniga, or to Constanza. Bring hiking shoes as we have now over 3 km of hiking trails on the estate where you will see beautiful sites. For the more adventurous type, hike up El Magorte, the mountain by us which will take 3 hours to summit.
Take time to explore, spend the day at the waterfalls on our property or other waterfalls in the region.

Where I went to school: Studied commercial diver in CA
My work: full time adventurer
I am an adventurer, solo around the world racing yachtsman, award winning author, motivational keynote speaker and lover of life. I live for great experiences and have helped in diplomatic issues and peace talks. Much time is spent mentoring young people including teaching macro-economics at several universities, sailing, playing in my garden and traveling the globe. My friends span all corners of the world. I have no time for drama. When visiting us I enjoy stimulating conversations and will give you a tour of our gardens explaining why I have chosen to create this environment. Some of my favorite places range from Thailand because of the great street food, cheap massages and friendly, smiling people. We love Cape Town, South Africa with its great mountains and beaches, vineyards and orchards and resilient, polite people. Portugal and Ireland are special because of all our close friends there. As a motivational speaker I have experienced many countries and cultures, enjoying the finest hotels. But we always add on extra days to throw a backpack on and travel like a local. I have had the privilege of experiences over 100 countries. I have also sailed to some of the most remote corners of our planet. Currently I am writing my third book based on our travels, people we have come to know and cultures we have loved. I will cover economic injustice, social reforms, what a civil society should resemble to how we can add to our world and create a sustainable legacy.
