Desire Miches Resort Punta Cana is Original Group's newest couples-only clothing-optional property — the second Desire-branded resort in the Caribbean, alongside Desire Pearl and Desire Riviera Maya in Mexico. The property opened in December 2022 as Temptation Grand Miches Resort and rebranded to Desire Miches on November 13, 2023, converting from topless-optional/singles-welcome to couples-only/clothing-optional.
Why the rebrand
Original Group's original plan was for two Temptation properties side-by-side in Miches. After the first year of operation, the company decided the market wanted a couples-only Desire option in the Dominican Republic — adjacent to the topless-friendly Temptation Miches rather than competing with it. The November 2023 rebrand converted the property to the Desire format: clothing-optional throughout, on-site Playroom, couples-only access, sensual workshop programming.
Couples-only and clothing-optional
Like Desire Pearl and Riviera Maya, the Miches property is strictly couples-only with a 21+ minimum age and clothing-optional throughout. The Playroom is the on-site adult-play space; sensual workshops run on rotation. Guests staying at Temptation Miches next door are not admitted to Desire Miches' clothing-optional zones — the two properties operate as distinct experiences despite the shared campus.
What's included
All-inclusive plan covers meals at multiple restaurants, premium drinks at the bars and nightclub, fitness, and access to all clothing-optional zones. Spa treatments and some workshops are paid add-ons. The property is the newest in the Desire portfolio so the room finishes, suite plumbing, and shared amenities are state-of-current.
How Desire Miches compares
Against Pearl, Miches is bigger (280 vs 88 rooms), newer, and east-coast-accessible. Against Riviera Maya, Miches is similar in size and price but newer-built. Against Temptation Miches (next door), Desire Miches is couples-only with on-site adult play — Temptation Miches is topless-only and singles-friendly. Together the two Miches properties give Original Group its largest single-region footprint outside Mexico.
