Raw land and a dream

Hey y’all, hey! I’m Janine Bell, founder of Must Love Nature.

For the past 15 years, the Dominican Republic has been a place I've returned to again and again—falling a little more in love with its natural beauty along the way. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to invest in a piece of property. It was raw land and a dream for a while. I knew eventually I would create a space for people to gather. Enter: Must Love Nature.

Having hosted dozens of retreats and private gatherings, I know firsthand that coordinating transportation, meals, and all the little details can quickly become a headache- especially for an international retreat. So I thought, why not make that part easier?

And that's exactly what we're building: a retreat experience that brings together the space, hospitality, meals, and transportation in one thoughtfully coordinated package.

Over the years, I've built relationships with local drivers, cooks, service providers, restaurant owners, and wellness practitioners. That means you get access to trusted local partners without the guesswork. And in the process, we get to support the people and businesses that make this community special.

Is it crazy? Will it work? The only answer is YES.
