Who we are

Colección Tropicalia is an evolving cultural initiative that brings together art, design, and craft to celebrate the richness and complexity of Caribbean artistic expression. Situated within Tropicalia, a serene destination on the shores of Samaná Bay in the Dominican Republic, the collection fosters dialogue between the region’s artistic heritage and its contemporary expressions. Through works by Afro-Caribbean, Indigenous, Dominican, diasporic and other Caribbean artists, designers, and artisans, Colección Tropicalia invites new ways of seeing and experiencing the region as a vibrant, interconnected cultural landscape.

Building on the Cisneros family’s longstanding commitment to art and education, this independent cultural initiative upholds creative expression as a vital component of community engagement and sustainable development. In alignment with Tropicalia’s vision of responsible luxury and environmental stewardship, the collection enhances the guest experience while providing artists and makers with a platform to explore, create, and contribute to the cultural fabric of the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean.
