The destination for the savvy vacation shopper: The Dominican Republic
Got the Dominican Republic on the brain? With breathtaking beaches, tropical adventures, a rich culture and stylish all inclusive resorts to enjoy it all from, this stand-out island has a few hidden gems that punch above their weight when it comes to unique tropical experiences but don’t blow out your budget. For instance, locales like La Romana, Puerto Plata and more offer all inclusive vacations with everything you love about the DR but come packing their own unique charm. The best adventures aren’t often found on the paths most taken, so explore a paradise less travelled – and get a great deal too!
La Romana has a history of unique experiences
If you were the first to hand in your field trip permission slip, La Romana is up your alley because it’s got everything. Overlooking the Caribbean Sea and swimmable reefs, this destination offers world-class snorkelling and diving – heard of the Atlantic Princess Wreck? – but its underwater beauty isn’t the only thing that reels in the big fish (here’s a hint, she’s a child of destiny). Not far from the coast lies Altos de Chavón, a recreation of a 16th-century Mediterranean village that acts as a great venue for concerts and art exhibitions. Plus, there are plenty of adults only and family all inclusive resorts to choose from that feature modern amenities, spacious accommodations and exciting activities at a great price, like Sunscape Dominicus La Romana with its day-to-night entertainment, movies on the beach, X Games competitions and more!
Adventures abound in Puerto Plata
Puerto Plata is the only place on the northern coast where you can enjoy the sea, mountains, lush valleys, rivers and beautiful beaches! Get that wind in your hair while surfing, windsurfing or kiteboarding in nearby Cabarete, and why not also try canyoning at 27 Charcos de Damajuaga, a series of beautiful waterfalls hidden in the jungle? Puerto Plata’s not just a treat for thrill seekers, either – those with a taste for local can embark on a tour of Dominican life through rum, cacao, coffee and tobacco experiences. The coast rivals just about any on the island and the same goes for its hotels like Playabachata Spa Resort, the perfect retreat for families, couples and friends that want to experience a different side of the Dominican Republic.
Light up the night in Santo Domingo
An epic night out isn’t simply reserved for those big-name destinations, this is where you’ll find the real party in the DR! The capital city of Santo Domingo isn’t just a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it also offers amazing nightlife that puts you in the centre of Dominican-style entertainment! Move those gams on Mamma Club’s pounding dancefloor with a pizzeria attached to the venue (talk about two-for-one!), or for something more relaxed but a great place to experience the local culture, Sabina Bar delivers speakeasy vibes and a late last call. Resorts like Coral Costa Caribe Resort are ideally situated to explore the city while still enjoying the best of Dominican Republic vacations with its stunning, palm-lined beach, pool featuring a waterfall grotto and classic activities like snorkelling and pedal boat rides.
Punta Cana’s got the thrills
Famous worldwide for having some of the best beaches in the Dominican Republic, not to mention 5-star all inclusive experiences, Punta Cana is also a hub for adrenaline junkies with two of the most unique theme parks you’ve ever seen. Get that heart-in-your-throat feeling again at Scape Park with ziplining from cliffs, swimming through underground caves, exploring ancient caverns and more, plus an exclusive beach club where you can catch your breath and a tan. Bavaro Adventure Park helps you carve your own path through paradise with an off-roading ATV circuit through an abandoned mine or a horseback tour along nature trails through the beautiful countryside.
