Dominican Republic

If your idea of heaven is beaches and palm trees, Latin rhythms floating gently on the breeze and delicious food and cocktails all within easy reach then the Dominican Republic might be your dream destination. Many people come here for the beach life and that’s no surprise as the coastlines are pretty spectacular. Swathes of the kind of white sand that just runs through your fingers and the bright azure of those warm tropical seas make this the kind of place you might never want to leave. You can swim, sunbathe, snorkel, dive, windsurf and sail if the mood takes you, or take a boat trip to one of the other islands in the vicinity.

Away from the beach the Dominican Republic has plenty to entertain. Getting to know the island’s history is a great way to spend some time – explore the old colonial settlements and houses and see how the first people to settle here lived. Playa Dorada and Bahia Maimon are great resorts, particularly if you’re looking for some rum fuelled nightlife.
