With luxurious hotels, scenic beaches and a range of outdoor activities, the Dominican Republic is a great place to enjoy the Caribbean sun.
The Dominican Republic is one of the largest islands in the Caribbean. It is a tropical retreat offering clear waters, palm-studded sands, a luscious interior and world-class hotels.
Discover the capital city, Santo Domingo and admire cultural sites at the Zona Colonial which dates back to the arrival of Christopher Columbus. Take a cable car ride to the top of Mount Isabel de Torres for jaw-dropping views across the island, or relax and be pampered at one of the city’s spa and wellness retreats.
If devils, masks and dancing in the street is your thing, then plan your trip around the Carnaval de la Vega, where you’ll be treated to one of the Caribbean’s most colourful celebrations.
Holidaymakers flock to Punta Cana, which is one of the most glamorous resorts on the Dominican Republic’s Coconut Coast. Offering scenic beaches, crystal-clear waters and some of the most luxurious hotels in the Caribbean, it truly is heaven on earth.
Punta Cana’s nightlife is legendary with plenty of places to let your hair down. From sophisticated bars offering rum cocktails to raucous nightclubs where you can dance until dawn and everything in between. A must-visit is ‘Imagine Punta Cana’, a club built into a series of caves, each offering a very different atmosphere.
For those looking for a retail fix, the Dominican Republic is the shopping giant of the Caribbean. Visitors can browse designer stores in Santa Domingo’s shopping malls or shop at the international boutiques in Punta Cana and La Roma. There are also plenty of colourful markets brimming with arts and crafts, jewellery, cigars, and delicious chocolate to explore.
If it's an adventure that you are after, then the tropical Dominican Republic has you covered. Visitors can zipslide across the jungle, go whitewater rafting in the Yaque Del Norte River, paraglide over the mountains and valleys of Jarabacos, snorkel among fish-filled corals, or embark on a whale watching adventure in the Samana Peninsula.
