Leisure & Activities

Punta Cana
A popular choice for guests seeking idyllic beach life is Punta Cana on the eastern edge of the island. Known as the Coconut Coast,there's a fantastic selection of resorts in stunning locations.

Dumajagua & the rainforests
An absolute must-see in our opinion are the 27 waterfalls of Damajagua. Follow that with an exploration of the lush rainforests and you'll feel you have truly seen what this magical island is all about.

Santo Domingo
If you like to explore the island's history and culture, head to the capital, Santo Domingo. It's the oldest European settlement in the Caribbean and has a wealth of museums, historical buildings and beautiful parks and gardens.
