Luxury Dominican Republic Holidays

With picture-perfect beaches and some of the most dazzling scenery in the Caribbean, the beautiful Dominican Republic is waiting to welcome you to its stunning shores.

STUNNING SHORES, DIVERSE SCENERY, AND SPANISH FLAIR

The second-largest island in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492.  It is an exotic playground with much to offer away from its 200 glorious beaches, which are a perfect place to start! 

Dominican beaches offer everything on your Caribbean checklist: white sands, azure blue seas, and deliciously warm sunshine.  One of the most popular is Bavaro Beach in Punta Cana where sun lovers and families enjoy the powdery soft sands and calm seas which are sheltered by the distant reef.  Here you can choose from one of the luxurious all-inclusive resorts which offer the perfect getaway from it all, and plenty to fill your sun-soaked days.

Heading inland from the beaches you can discover Pico Duarte, the highest peak in the Caribbean islands which is surrounded by breath-taking mountain scenery and lush green jungle landscapes. 

You simply cannot visit the Dominican Republic without embracing the intoxicating Spanish culture with a visit to vibrant Santo Domingo where you can merengue with the locals, enjoy delicious Dominican dishes and soak up the fiesta-style atmosphere!

For nature lovers, the Dominican Republic has much to explore as the island is home to leatherback turtles which you can discover with a guided trek through the lush green jungle and shady lagoons.  Or pay a visit to Lake Enriquillo (Lago Enriquillo), a land-locked saltwater lake that stretches across 135 square miles and is surrounded by some of the island’s most vibrant wildlife. Take a boat trip over the lake waters to Isla Cabritos – home to incredible wildlife including American Crocodiles, flamingos, and iguanas.

The Dominican Republic has many surprising secrets to uncover and we would love to help you find them.
