About Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic is one of the region’s most fascinating destinations, from its diverse people and culture to its wide-ranging topography. There are a multitude of places to visit; the North Coast is a still relatively untouched beach destination, with new properties like the Amanera and the Playa Grande Beach Club; then there’s Santo Domingo, a bustling, energetic city that’s home to the Colonial Zone, which is the first European city in the New World (and a growing number of must-visit hotels like the JW Marriott and Casas XVI boutique).

Dominican Republic

The North Coast of the country.

For beachgoers there’s Punta Cana, the most popular all-inclusive destination in the Caribbean (followed locally by its sister, lower-key all-inclusive spot, Puerto Plata). But that’s just the beginning: there’s a bit of everything here, from a thriving winter baseball scene to an increasingly hot culinary offering. The Dominican Republic has a little bit of everything, and that’s what makes it such a rich destination.
