The Dominican Republic is the second largest and most diverse Caribbean country, situated just two hours south of Miami, fewer than four hours from New York, and eight hours from most European cities. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the north and the Caribbean Sea on the south, our lush tropical island paradise boasts nearly 1,000 miles (1,609 km) of coastline, 250 miles (402 km) of the world’s top beaches, magnificent resorts, and hotels, and a variety of sports, recreation, and entertainment options. 

With so many beautiful natural settings like romantic waterfalls, breathtaking coasts, and idyllic accommodations, Dominican Republic is a top destination for weddings and romance. Here you can dance to the pulse-pounding thrill of the merengue, renew in our luxurious and diverse accommodations, explore ancient relics of centuries past, delight in delicious Dominican gastronomy, or enjoy ecotourism adventures in our magnificent national parks, mountain ranges, rivers, and beaches.

The #1 destination for golf in the Caribbean and Latin America, Dominican Republic delights visitors with 26 designer golf courses amid breathtaking coastlines with mountain backdrops and lush green fairways. 

Even though the DR is known for its all-inclusive resorts, there are also plenty of boutique hotels and eco lodges located in beach towns and mountainside areas, including colonial hotels in the historic Colonial City of Santo Domingo, among others. 

We invite you to discover our breathtaking island sanctuary and create memories that will last a lifetime.
