The Dominican Republic is the perfect destination for beach lovers, as half of the island Hispaniola with neighboring Haiti. Known in equal parts for its pristine beaches, beautiful resorts, and world-class golfing, visitors will find everything needed for a perfect vacation or destination wedding. Across the island, visitors will find endless beauty, Spanish landmarks, and a wide array of relaxation and adventure to partake in. In this blog post we’ll be covering our three destinations within the Dominican Republic, and offer some unique resort suggestions in each area.

Punta Cana
Punta Cana is at the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic, where the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet. Nicknamed the “coconut coast”, guests will find some of the world’s most attractive beaches in Bavaro, and it’s a popular area for kayaking, ziplining and more. Temperatures hang around 80 F annually, with the hottest temperatures yearly May through October. If the beaches aren’t a big enough draw, local sights include the colonial architecture of the capital in Santo Domingo (the oldest city of the New World), and the Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park which features natural cenotes guests can swim in.

Overlooking the Chavon River, guests can visit Alto de Chavon, a recreated Mediterranean Village full of shopping and artist’s workshops. The area provides something for everyone, from divers to golfers.
