With its magnificent beaches and resorts, crystal clear waters, and white sandy beaches lined with palm trees, the Dominican Republic is a popular getaway for those seeking fun in the sun.
Along with its pristine beaches and azure waters, this beautiful island is steeped in history and culture. You’ll find abundant historical sites, museums, and colonial architecture as well as the first hospital, first sugar mill, and the first Catholic church this side of the world.
Those seeking adventure will find plenty of opportunities to explore the jungles, forests, and mountain areas in the Dominican Republic. Parasailing, windsurfing, and snorkeling are popular pastimes on the island. And horseback riding, sailing, deep-sea fishing, and whale watching add to the extensive mix of activities to enjoy here.
Following are brief descriptions of some of the most popular destinations in the Dominican Republic:
Puerto Plata is a historic city worth examining for its wealth of Victorian architecture and proximity to developed stations like the windsurfing capital Cabarete. Many visit the city to see the historic fort, Fuerte de San Felipe. The boardwalk is lined with typical Dominican restaurants, where you can walk and enjoy views of the port and the Atlantic Ocean. Popular attractions include the Amber Museum of Puerto Plata, the Brugal Rum Distillery, and Mount Isabel de Torres, where you can take a gondola/cable car from Puerto Plata to the top of the mountain.
Located on the eastern coat, Punta Cana boasts will-groomed beaches lined with palm trees. Here you will find large, all-inclusive resorts that feature amenities such as an assortment of swimming pools, watersports activities, golf courses, spas, and tropical gardens.
La Romana is known for Casa de Campo, a 7,000-acre property of rolling hills. The resort offers guests two 18-hole championship golf courses, tennis centers, swimming pools, equestrian stables, polo grounds, and shooting stations. Just east of the resort is Altos de Chavon, which was built on a cliff overlooking the Rio Chavon and designed to look like a 16th century Mediterranean village.
