Holidays to Dominican Republic

Dominican Republic holidays are all about clear blue waters, palm-fringed beaches, luxury beachfront hotels and exciting watersports. Situated in the Caribbean region, the country is known to the outside world for its picturesque beach resorts and spectacular natural beauty. 

Dominican Republic holidays are a popular long haul escape for families and couples, thanks to its exotic year-round climate, unbeatable coastline, lush rainforest interior and all-round beach resorts. The eastern resort of Punta Cana is a great place to stay on your Dominican Republic holidays, with lively seaside towns including Bavaro. Up north in Puerto Plata, discover traditional rum factories, colonial squares and tourist attractions including Mount Isabel del Torres. For history buffs, Santo Domingo is the home to Ciudad Colonial, the oldest European settlement in the New World. 

Watersports take centre stage though, with kayaking, sailing, snorkeling, kitesurfing and white-water rafting available on the calm, clear waters. Holidays to Dominican Republic are perfect if you want a mixture of tropical beaches and traditional Caribbean vibes.

Places to go and things to do in Dominican Republic

Activities

Activities

Whether you want to ride across the beaches or start an ascent into the mountains, horse ranches including Lorilar Ranch will help you realise this Dominican day trip dream. Make your way through lush forests and pretty villages, spotting wildlife as you go or canter along powder-soft white sand. And don't worry, you don't have to be a Grand National jockey to join in the fun – there are lots of trips perfect for complete beginners.

Puerto Plata

The Puerto Plata area offers up some fantastic snorkelling opportunities, especially just off Playa Sosua beach. You only have to swim about 100m out from the shore and you’ll be met with a multi-coloured reef and plenty of sea creatures to spot. You can hire your kit too, so don’t worry about making room in your case.

Discover Cabarate

It's not all fly and flop in Dom Rep! Watersports are big business and the white sand beaches and near-perfect conditions attract adventure-loving holidaymakers in their droves. Beaches in the small town of Cabarate offer the best kitesurfing and windsurfing on the island. As the name suggests, Kite Beach is popular with kite surfers and there are several schools promising to make you a kitesurfing and windsurfing pro in no time. The nightlife is just as great, and so are the restaurants and bars on the main street.

Island Hop

Off the coast of Punta Cana, there are two stunning islands just waiting to be explored. Cast away from the mainland and head for the shores of Isla Saona or Isla Catalina for the day, where you can bask in the sun on a stretch of remote sand. Bliss...

Dive Into the Blue

Swim, snorkel, scuba dive or just enjoy those incredible azure blue waters from your hotel balcony. The Caribbean Sea is picture-postcard perfect in Punta Cana. Fancy skippering a speedboat from Arena Gordo Beach, fishing for your own catch of the day off the coast of Bavaro, or discovering what swims beneath with the help of a snorkel or scuba kit? It’s all here on the coast of Punta Cana.

Fun Fun Cave

Take a day trip to Fun Fun Cave where you can repel 20m (65ft) to the base of the cave, discover the history of the area and horseback ride through beautiful Los Haitises National Park.
