República dominicana
Dominicans have a reputation for being some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet.
They exude passion—in the speed at which they speak, the way they dress and dance, and in the embrace they give to their neighbors and visitors alike.
About the Country
It won’t take long to get to know the locals or to notice how Dominicans live. While modernity and globalization have influenced life in both big and small cities, Dominicans remain the same in their interactions with others. Courtesy and hospitality are core values, especially in rural areas.
Helping visitors or neighbors and sharing a meal are everyday activities. Family holds great importance—it must be cared for and cherished. Spend a weekend at the beach or riverside, and you’ll discover Dominicans’ love for spending time with their loved ones, cooking outdoors, and sharing laughter. Affectionate in words and deeds, romance runs deep in Dominican blood. Life is meant to be shared and lived to the fullest.
Origins
Their explosive energy might be explained by a vibrant mix of Taíno, African, and European roots. But other communities—European, Asian, and Middle Eastern—have also influenced and enriched the Dominican Republic’s cultural landscape since the 19th century, creating a fascinating blend of people and traditions.
You’ll see how these many influences come to life across the country in the food, music, celebrations, and customs of each region.
Punta Cana / Welcome to Punta Cana
Here, where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean—from the northern tip at Uvero Alto to the southern shores of Cap Cana—all-inclusive resorts and boutique hideaways offer every indulgence and modern comfort by the sea.
Blessed with one of the longest stretches of white sand in the Caribbean—48 kilometers in total—lined with sky-high coconut palms, Punta Cana is synonymous with seaside rest and relaxation.
From family-friendly resorts with mini entertainment centers and water parks to dreamy hideaways perfect for weddings and romantic beachfront escapes, Punta Cana offers something for everyone. It’s not just about sun and sand—you’ll also find crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming, fishing, and snorkeling among vibrant marine life and shipwrecks.
Punta Cana is also a golfer’s paradise, boasting 10 world-class golf courses along the coast, a beach escape complete with luxury marinas and gourmet dining, and wellness centers featuring the best spas in the country—including the only Six Senses Spa in the Caribbean. Wherever you stay along this dazzling coastline, home to 11 Blue Flag-certified beaches, you’re invited to beach-hop and soak in the full splendor. From the laid-back surf town of Macao to the trendy sands of Bávaro, Corales, and Cortecito—lined with shops, water sports, and beachfront bars—to the secluded beauty of Juanillo Beach and more.
And the adventure doesn’t stop at the shore. Cool off in the freshwater lagoons and hidden cenotes of Ojos Indígenas and Scape Park, where kids and teens can zipline through the trees or explore ancient caves. Venture into the lush Dominican countryside on a safari-style tour through sugar cane fields and local butcher shops.
Along the way, visit the country’s most important pilgrimage site—Our Lady of Altagracia Basilica—and experience the Dominican Republic’s deep spiritual roots. If the days are full of activity, the nights are equally alive. Dance until sunrise in the DR’s vibrant nightclubs, or enjoy elegant evenings at marina lounges under the stars with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and hand-rolled cigars.
Punta Cana is the ultimate escape for sun, sea, and sand lovers.
