Visit Dominican Republic

Dominican Republic 

Covering the western part of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, the Dominican Republic borders Haiti and is located between Puerto Rico, Cuba and Jamaica.  Holidays to the Dominican Republic provide the opportunity to experience the country's picture perfect beaches and beautiful landscape.  Benefiting from year round sunshine, with an average temperature of 25 ÌŠC, the Dominican Republic can be enjoyed at any time of year.  The Dominican Republic will appeal to anyone who is looking to relax in lush tropical surroundings and experience warm Caribbean hospitality.

The Punta Cana region is the largest resort in the Dominican Republic situated on the east coast and made up of many smaller resorts; this is the main location for luxury hotels and all-inclusive resorts.  The 50km stretch of powder white sand and calm turquoise waters draw tourists to the area.  The Amber Coast lies to the north of the country and encompasses the resorts of Playa Dorada, Cabarete and Puerto Plata.  These resorts also line the coast and boast idyllic tropical beaches and fabulous hotels.  The port city of Puerto Plata hosts the three best festivals out of the many held throughout the year.  The south coast is home to Santa Domingo - vibrant, brimming with culture and well worth a trip.  It also offers a great choice of shopping and dining opportunities.  As a former Spanish colony, the food has Spanish, Taino and African influences - leading to delicious flavours and a wide array of traditional dishes to sample.

For those looking to intersperse activities into their laid back stay in the Dominican Republic there are plenty on offer including river-rafting, water sports, scuba diving and horse riding, plus a selection of golf courses to choose from.  There is also the opportunity to take part in the popular pastime of deep-sea fishing or whale watching.  There are an estimated 400 hump-backed whales that cross the Atlantic, and some excursions will allow you swim with the whales.  Dominican Republic holidays are the ultimate exotic beach escape benefited by the rich culture, relaxed atmosphere and warm people.
