Dominican Republic

Located on the Eastern part of Hispaniola Island, Dominican Republic will charm you with her beaches, her historical vestiges and her colourful culture. Dominican gastronomy, the result of Taïnas and European influences, is not to be missed. Central Cordillera, a mountain range going through the centre of the Island, splits the Dominican Republic in two distinct sides.

Most travellers choose Dominican Republic South Coast. There, you will find the capital, Santo Domingo, as well as the Punta Cana and La Romana sea resorts. In the isolated seaside resort of Punta Cana, travellers are welcome to relax on the long and breathtaking beach. Nautical activities, such as deep-sea fishing, sailing or catamaran are some of the favourite things to do in the region. Feel like tasting the city? Get a foothold in Santo Domingo and combine a holiday package with urban activities. Santo Domingo is renowned for her bars and restaurants, but also for her old district and fascinating museums. Finally, La Romana is the ultimate destination to enjoy the city, nature and sporting activities. Less than 90 minutes from the Capital, a luscious National Park and mind blowing archaeological caves, La Romana can satisfy the needs of every traveller.

Other travellers prefer Puerto Plata or the Samana region, on the Island North Coast. In Puerto Plate, a vibrant city mingles with the pleasures of the ocean. Enjoy Cabarete's numerous surf competitions, Sosua's restaurants, Playa Dorada's Casino or Puerto Plata's historical districts. A Dominican destination for a number of decades, many travellers go back there year after year. Close to the mountains, Samana region offers many activities. From the magnificent Los Haitises National Park to the charming Terrenas village, activities in Samana are diversified. Take a stroll in the mountains and discover breathtaking sceneries.
