Explore holidays to Dominican Republic
from just £807 per person
Overview
White sand beaches, towering mountain peaks, and a lively social atmosphere have made the Dominican Republic one of the Caribbean’s most popular holiday destinations. Its nine distinct ecological zones have made it a hotspot for adventure tourism, popular with mountain climbers, hikers, and divers.
Hike to stunning waterfalls, take a jeep safari or horse riding tour through rugged terrain, then return to your resort for some pampering at the spa. The nation’s capital, Santo Domingo, is a popular destination with a number of luxury resorts nearby.
In the city, learn about local history at museums such as the National Museum of History and Geography, visit historic landmarks like the Basilica Cathedral of Santa María la Menor, and explore green spaces including the Jardín Botánico Nacional.
In the evenings, Punta Cana comes alive with beachfront parties and bars playing everything from the latest hits to traditional merengue and bachata music. The wide variety of sights, activities, and attractions makes the Dominican Republic ideal for families, couples, friends, and solo travellers.
