The Dominican Republic

A tropical destination, the Dominican Republic is a Caribbean gem located in the lesser Antilles, on the island of Hispaniola. Sunny days and cloudless skies attract visitors from all over the world, where they arrive to the welcoming sound of gentle waves rising and falling along the spotlessly pure sands.

In the carefree atmosphere of the Dominican Republic you will quickly feel at home. Cheery locals, fresh food, fabulous weather, immaculate beaches and stunning terrain combine to create the ultimate island get-away.

There is no better place to get your feet wet, as you partake in watersports of all kinds – windsurfing, kayaking, snorkeling, jet skiing, scuba diving, surfing and more. Or stay dry on land and climb up verdant sloping hills, hike through fascinating nature preserves, and photograph rare species amidst thriving blooms and trees. And, of course, you always have the option of simply dozing off in a hammock on the beach, the sun warming your skin while the breeze keeps you refreshed. In the Dominican Republic you will discover remarkable things you’ve never before experienced.

Samaná

Along the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic lies the Samaná Peninsula, an immaculate region stretching into the clear blue Atlantic Ocean. Here you will find lush rainforests amidst flowing waterfalls and gentle mountains. Charming villages dot the area, providing excellent destinations awaiting your discovery.

In addition to being known as a haven for birds and wildlife of all kinds, the Bay of Samaná is most commonly renowned for welcoming the stunning humpback whales during their annual migration, in the months of January through March. These large whales swim from Grassland or Iceland to the Samaná Bay for a warmer winter, and to mate and feed. Mid-March, they head back to where they came from, only to return a year later so that the females can give birth in the warm Dominican waters. Residents of Las Terrenas Country Club will have the privilege of viewing this spectacular yearly event.
