One of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic - with its year-round golf courses and a variety of luxury villas and beaches - is the place to go for either a family holiday or a romantic honeymoon.
The scenery is dominated by the tallest mountain peak, Pico Duarte, as well as the Caribbean’s largest lake, making the Dominican Republic an attraction for nature-lovers as well.
The island has an average temperature of 26°C and great climatic and biological diversity. The country is also the site of the first cathedral, castle, monastery, and fortress built in all of the Americas, located in Santo Domingo’s Colonial Zone, an area declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
