Breathtaking Beaches: The East Coast including Punta Cana boast the world’s favorite beaches made up of silky white sand and turquoise waters.

The public beaches are always lively and encourage participation in recreational activities.
Overwhelming Waterfalls: Thirty minutes south of Puerto Plata on the North Coast are the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua, one of Dominican Republic’s best-kept secrets that every couple should uncover. Experience a rush together as you hike to and from each waterfall – jumping from the tops, swimming in the cascading waters’ pools, and chuting and sliding your way back to the base camp. It is the ideal backdrop for a romantic memory.
Soothing Spas: Dominican Republic is the perfect place for couples to get pampered together, as most all-inclusive resorts have excellent spas that will wash away your worries and ease you into the calmness that permeates the island. Enjoy the natural oils’ sweet aromas as you indulge in beachside massages to the ocean’s soothing sounds. You and your loved one will leave feeling completely content and revitalized.
Lively Nightlife: Experience the country’s nightlife mecca in Santo Domingo, where there are countless trendy establishments radiating the contagious Dominican energy. Each one will undoubtedly have music, the center of Dominican culture that constantly encourages dancing. Grab your loved one and join the fun. Dominicans will teach you the traditional Merengue dance as they sing in unison to the songs that they never tire of hearing.
Kiting Quests: Located on the North Coast is Cabarete, the “Kiteboarding Capital of the World.” Couples can get carried away together as they catch perfect winds while balancing on the board. Try something new together and take advantage of the rental shops and experienced instructors that line the beach. Later, replenish at one of the nearby delicious and charming restaurants decorated by moonlit views.
