How Much Is a Vacation to Dominican Republic

Dominican Republic holidays

Holidays to the Dominican Republic combine tropical rainforests with a seemingly endless toe-sinking coastline - and that's before you get to its UNESCO-protected old streets. It's one of the most diverse islands with holidays to the Caribbean, serving up everything from majestic mountains to colonial towns and a lively nightlife scene. On Bavaro holidays, flit between rum bars before checking out big-name clubs in the centre of Punta Cana. And when you're seeking that famous laid-back Caribbean vibe, sleepy Samana has your lazy sunbathing covered.

Things to do

Renowned for its Instagram-worthy white sands, Punta Cana holidays won't disappoint with 30 miles of Caribbean coastline to call its own. Think, palm trees adorned with coconuts, clear waters perfect for snorkelling ventures, and it's even home to a jaw-dropping zipline. After some downtime under the sun nothing beats an evening spent dancing at Coco Bongo - a Vegas style show and disco which first opened its doors in Mexico. Now it's one of the biggest clubs worldwide, especially in the Dominican Republic. And if you've forgotten your party shoes, there's a range of top-class golf courses to take advantage of.

Head further afield to discover the 16th-century Spanish fort in Puerto Plata (Fortaleza San Felipe) and Ocean World Adventure Park in Playa Dorada. Then, check out the Caribbean's oldest capital, Santo Domingo. As well as snapping pictures of the city's old-world buildings, the Dominican Republic National Aquarium is a must-visit for families. Your little travellers will also love Museo Infantil Trampolín, an interactive children's museum with excellent exhibits on the country's history, science, ecosystems and culture.

Hidden away among lush jungle terrain is Damajagua Falls, otherwise known as the 27 waterfalls of Rio Damajagua - a true off-the-beaten-path experience. And if you thought that sounded tempting, Los Haitises National Park will win you over with its remote unspoilt beaches, mangrove forests and kayaking adventures. Search deep within its caves to uncover carvings made by indigenous Tainos Indians.

Map of Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic is warm and sunny throughout the year, although the mountainous areas of the island are significantly wetter and cooler. There's a fair amount of rainfall even in coastal regions, but this is normally only brief and light so you should be able to dodge the showers. You'll find it's dry, sunny and calm most of the time.
