The awakening of your senses
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992, Santo Domingo was the first Spanish capital of the New World. Its churches, monasteries and shaded streets still reflect the influence of the Spanish Empire more than five centuries later. The Colonial Zone can easily be explored on foot, but also by bike to venture beyond the historic center and discover the daily life of Dominicans, between local markets and colorful street art.
At night, the Colonial Zone comes alive. Bars, rooftops and restaurants – from casual to trendy – attract a diverse local crowd. Santo Domingo is today a lively meeting place where history, culture and conviviality come together.
The South-West of the Dominican Republic offers some of the country’s most contrasting landscapes. The road to the Haitian border winds through green cliffs, arid plains dotted with cacti and the Bahoruco mountain range, with the deep blue Caribbean Sea as a backdrop. Along the way, travelers encounter colorful villages, hidden coves, lakes and lagoons rich in wildlife.
Still little-visited, this region is ideal for those seeking authenticity and eco-tourism. Highlights include Lake Enriquillo, Oviedo Lagoon, the humid forest of Cachote and the pristine Bahía de las Águilas beach. Accommodation is limited to small charming hotels, perfect for tailor-made journeys.
In the heart of the country, the Cibao region is home to Pico Duarte, the highest peak in the Caribbean. Nicknamed the “Dominican Alps,” these mountains are a playground for outdoor enthusiasts: rafting, canyoning, hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking. The winding roads reveal sweeping views over fertile valleys, often described as the gardens of the Dominican Republic.
At the foot of the mountains lies Santiago de los Caballeros, the country’s second-largest city, famous for its tobacco and world-renowned cigars. This region, away from mass tourism, is especially suited for tailor-made FIT stays.
The Samaná Peninsula is a lush mountain range rising up to 600 meters, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and by Samaná Bay to the south, a natural sanctuary where humpback whales return each year from January to March. It is home to one of the largest coconut groves in the Caribbean.
Visitors can explore Los Haitises National Park, impressive waterfalls and some of the country’s most beautiful beaches. The region offers boutique hotels for travelers seeking authenticity and tranquility, as well as larger resorts suitable for incentive groups. Today, Samaná is one of the most attractive Caribbean destinations for both FIT and incentive programs.
With nearly 50 kilometers of white-sand beaches lined with coconut palms and turquoise lagoons, Punta Cana is the leading seaside destination in the Dominican Republic. The region offers a wide range of large-scale, high-quality resorts where the “all-inclusive” concept adapts to various levels of comfort.
Several hotels feature modern convention centers, ideal for events, while numerous land and sea activities can be organized outside the resorts. Punta Cana is perfectly suited for individual travelers as well as large incentive groups.
Stretching from Boca Chica to Bayahibe, the Caribbean coast is dotted with seaside towns. The small town of Bayahibe is the gateway to the famous Saona and Catalina islands.
The region is also home to Casa de Campo, one of the Caribbean’s most prestigious golf resorts, and the artists’ village of Altos de Chavón. Bayahibe offers quality resorts, some equipped with convention centers suitable for groups and events.
