Thanks to its bigger than average size, the Dominican Republic is one of the most diverse countries in the Caribbean. Along the coast, you’ve got a full spectrum of beaches, while inland, you have mangrove lagoons, mountain peaks and waterfalls.
If your idea of heaven is beaches and palm trees, Latin rhythms floating gently on the breeze and delicious food and cocktails then the Dominican Republic could easily be your dream destination. Many people come here for the beach life and that’s no surprise as the coastlines are spectacular.
 
Top Tourist Destinations:
Punta Cana
Punta Cana is home to some of the best beaches in the world, boasting a 50-mile stretch. In between sunbathing you can learn to surf or scuba dive around coral reefs and shipwrecks, or if golf is more your thing Punta Cana is home to over a dozen courses, some of which have been designed by Jack Nickaus. And if the countryside is more your thing head into the rainforest in a guided buggy or whizz through the air on a tree canopy zip line.
La Romana
Sugary sands, bright-blue seas and plenty of toe-tapping dancing – La Romana holidays put a Latino twist on the Caribbean.
