Hand-crafted Travel to the Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic is a lively Caribbean country offering a mix of rich culture, stunning landscapes, and abundant activities. The best time to visit is from November to February, when the weather is more comfortable, though the country’s beauty shines year-round. In Santo Domingo, the oldest city in the Americas, you will find 16th-century buildings, lively markets and a deep sense of history around every corner. The northern coast, including Samaná, is famous for its beautiful beaches, green mangroves, and the humpback whale migration from January to March. For those seeking exquisite leisure, Punta Cana offers world-class golf courses, luxury resorts, and ideal waters for sailing and deep-sea fishing. Whether you are drawn to history, nature, or family-friendly beaches, the Dominican Republic has something special for everyone.

  • Unwind on the spectacular beaches of Punta Cana and join water activities such as snorkelling, scuba diving, and sailing to discover the underwater marine life.
  • Experience the Natural Wonders of the Samana Peninsula, visiting El Limon Waterfall and whale watching in Samana Bay during the migratory season.
  • Discover the historic colonial zone in Santo Domingo, where you will find examples of Spanish colonial architecture, including the first cathedral of the Americas and the Alcazar de Colon.
  • Adventure in the high altitude of Jarabacoa with thrilling activities like hiking, waterfall rappelling, and white-water rafting amidst mountainous terrain and lush valleys.
  • Explore the culture of Santiago by visiting the Centro Leon and enjoy the music and dance scene that reflect the city’s dynamic spirit.

Punta Cana’s white-sand beaches and resorts invite relaxation. Explore the vibrant culture of Puerto Plata. The lush landscapes of Jarabacoa and Samaná offer eco-adventures.

Punta Cana

Blessed with one of the Caribbean’s longest white sand coastlines (48 kms), punctuated with sky-reaching coconut palms – Punta Cana is the land of rest and relaxation by the sea. Families can expect modern beach front living and enjoy miniature entertainment centres and water parks for children, while couples-only enclaves boast dream locations, with secluded beachside lodging for an ultra-romantic stay.

But it’s not only about fun in the sun, soft sand brushing against your toes, and iridescent, clear water to swim in, go fishing, or dive for underwater life. Punta Cana is also a golfer’s destination, with 10 courses located all along the strip, a seaside escape with luxurious marinas and fine dining, and a wellness corner home to the country’s top spas, including the only Six Senses in the Caribbean.
