Welcome, bienvenidos, to the Dominican Republic.
Here there are hundreds of kilometers of Caribbean coastline, vast lush interiors with peaks and valleys, desolate scrublands, and rich colonial towns with resonant histories. If you want to skip across sweeping white beaches, dive or snorkel in the crystaline waters, fly through the air on a zipline or parasail, ride through rivers on the back of a horse, or explore its rich history, the Dominican Republic might be the right Royal Holiday vacation for you. To get the most out of your trip to the island of Hispanola, you’ll want to immerse yourself in the culture, explore the beauty of nature, and have an adventure or two.
Steep yourself in culture
Today the stories of the old world blend with the Latin rhythms of merengue on the streets of Santo Domingo. When Columbus landed on Hispanola in 1492, the island had been inhabited for three thousand years by the TaÃnos (or “friendly people”). Now Santo Domingo has some of the richest culture in the Caribbean. You may also want to book a couple of nights at an all-inclusive in the city of Puerto Plata, where you can wonder at rich colonial architecture and enjoy the way its newer, vibrant streets pulse with sound of merengue.
Life’s a beach
To really get the most out of your Royal Holiday vacation to the Dominican Republic, you’ll want to spend some at one of the plush beach resorts in Punta Cana on the eastern shore of the island. Beaches like Playa Bávaro, El Cortecito, Playa Bonita, and others on the 35-kilometer coastline of Punta Cana are considered some of the most beautiful and romantic in the Caribbean. Punta Cana is also home to some of the most beautifully manicured golf courses, the most luxurious restaurants, and the most vibrant nightlife in the D.R.
Have an adventure
From Punta Cana, you can book a horseback and zipline tour along the Anamuya river, take a dune buggy tour of the banana plantations and farms outside the city, or take a safari tour of Monkeyland, a theme park dedicated to native monkeys. Nothing prepares you for a romantic dinner by the sea like spending the day swimming with sharks and stingrays in the Punta Cana marinarium. From Puerto Plata you can book a trip to swim, climb – and jump – from the 27 waterfalls of Damajagua, something many travelers say is the coolest thing to do in the D.R. If you’d rather cruise the Western Caribbean than there are a ton of great options for members of the Royal Holiday Vacation Club as featured and written about.
