Holidays in the Dominican Republic Let You Relax and Reconnect with Nature

Hikes, waterfalls, golden beaches and glorious waves—get ready to have an adventure of a lifetime.

Avid globetrotters have holidays in the Dominican Republic on their bucket list. The small country on the Island of Hispaniola is known for its sunny skies, richly diverse topography and agriculture. You’ll find everything from sun-soaked beaches and dramatic mountains to whimsical waterfalls and mangrove forests here.

The capital Santo Domingo offers the best of both worlds with its cosmopolitan vibes and heritage sites. Travellers interested in boutique cafes, parks, and plazas can find plenty of things to see and do in the city. Historic excursions are at every corner of Zona Colonial, like the Museum of the Royal Houses, Columbus Park, and The Cathedral of Santa María la Menor.

Punta Cana is the best place for travellers seeking luxury experiences when visiting the Dominican Republic. The lively resorts in Cap Cana and gorgeous beaches, like Bavaro Beach, Playa Dorada, and Macao Beach, will captivate you.

Nature enthusiasts can go hiking in Puerto Plata where the majestic 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua await. You can also take a cable ride to reach the top of Mount Isabel de Torres. After the ride, you can stretch your legs by strolling around the lush botanical gardens and see the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue.
