Dominican Republic

One of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic – with its year-round golf courses, stunning beaches, and luxury villa rentals – is a go-to option for many traveller types. Whether you're planning a family holiday or a romantic honeymoon, an adventure trip or a hard-earned pampering session, this island has you covered.

Punta Cana, the crown jewel of the Dominican Republic's eastern shore, embodies Caribbean elegance more than anywhere else on the isle. Renowned for its impeccable white-sand beaches and opulent resorts, it's a haven for discerning travellers. They're a ticket to all sorts of memorable experiences, from golfing on oceanfront greens to dining by the water's edge to spa treatments set to the sound of the waves.

Then there are the beaches of Playa Grande and Bávaro, a little further along the northeastern shoreline. Those are paradises for sun-worshippers and water enthusiasts alike, with more secluded villa rentals that put you close to daffodil-hued sands that face the wild Atlantic. Keep going, and you'll soon enter Samana Bay, a place of deserted black-sand beaches that's a known haunt of whales and dolphins between January and March.

And it doesn't end there... Golfers will revel in courses designed by legends, such as Pete Dye's 18-holer at Casa de Campo or the three Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses in the exclusive Cap Cana area. In the lush mountains of Cordillera Central, you'll find Jarabacoa, an oasis for hikers and waterfall lovers. Moreover, the UNESCO capital of Santo Domingo has a history of more than 500 years, along with the oldest cathedral in the New World.

The Dominican Republic isn't just a destination. It's an invitation to experience Caribbean luxury with a side of adventure and rich history. Whether you seek serenity, exploration, or indulgence, a luxury beach villa in the Dominican Republic ticks all the boxes, putting you near shimmering sands, jungle-dressed sierras, or centuries-old cityscapes.
