Dominican Republic holidays mean relaxing on sun-kissed beaches and snorkelling above colourful reefs. Spend holidays in the Dominican Republic strolling along the 16th-century cobblestone streets of capital Santo Domingo’s Colonial Zone or book hiking holidays in the Dominican Republic’s forested inland.
Powdery white beaches and waters rich with ocean life lap the Dominican Republic’s coast; lush mountainsides and quaint villages colour its interior. Unwind on Dominican Republic holidays at beachside resorts, go mountain-trekking inland or buy amber jewellery in Santo Domingo along the Dominican Republic’s south coast.
Dominican Republic holidays are more than just lounging on sunny beaches. Head to Santo Domingo on your Dominican Republic holiday to wander down narrow streets lined with old stone buildings in the Colonial Zone or dance the merengue at a jam-packed club. Contemporary art lovers can spend Dominican Republic holidays in the galleries of La Romana’s Altos de Chavon district.
The shipwrecks at eastern Bayahibe are popular for diving holidays in the Dominican Republic. Look for neon parrotfish by snorkelling in the clear waters off the north coast on Sosua Beach. For a break from the beach on your Dominican Republic holidays, take a boat ride past the lush hillsides of the Chavon River or hike Mount Isabel de Torres for island views.
Dig into lobster or zesty braised red snapper on holiday in the Dominican Republic’s capital Santo Domingo. In Puerto Plata you can feast on crayfish or grilled shrimp kebabs. Toast your Dominican Republic holiday with a bottle of Dominican Republic Presidente beer or a rum cocktail.
