The Dominican Republic’s colorful history is filled with
pirate tales, buried treasure and a happy go lucky friendly culture.
It is also the original settlement of Christopher Columbus during
his voyage to the Americas. Today, the Dominican Republic is emerging
as the Caribbean’s number one tourist destination for people
from around the globe.
Secure and safe, with a government committed to creating
a vibrant tourist industry, it is a country enjoying incredible
economic growth, stability, infrastructure investment and resort
development. It is the Caribbean’s second largest country.
The beautiful country combines today’s finest resort and
lifestyle amenities with a laid back culture that draws on its Spanish
and African traditions. This is evident in its people’s love
of carnivals, color, music and dance. Traditions that transcend
every aspect of life from clothes to architecture. The people here
are warm inviting and friendly, always ready with a smile and a
relaxed attitude to make your stay more enjoyable.
While the southern coast around the capital city of Santo Domingo
offers expansive beaches and attractions, it is the north shore
that is quickly becoming the island’s hottest investment.
From Puerto Plata through Sosua and past Cabarete, this coastal
region is expanding with new commercial development, resorts, golf
courses and the lush hills of Costa Verde.
This region offers perfect conditions for surfing, windsurfing
and kite boarding. Scuba enthusiasts enjoy spectacular reefs, sea
life and crystal waters. These pristine ocean waters are also home
to some of the world’s finest deep sea fishing available through
charters in any coastal town.
Healthy fun also seems unlimited. Fitness, spa and wellness amenities
are close by. In contrast the beautiful rugged terrain provides
a perfect backdrop for horseback riding, mountain biking or hiking.
