Casa De Campo

The Dominican Republic, a Caribbean nation best known for all-inclusive resorts, stunning beaches and a premier golf courses!

Many readers, like myself, initially think ‘fly and flop’ beach holiday destination, however I stand corrected, with so much more to offer than even I could imagine.

British Airways fly direct to Punta Cana meaning you’re never too far from those cocktails, sunshine and sand between your toes.

Punta Cana gives access to some of the best all-inclusive resorts, pristine beaches and a world class service. These resorts are designed to cater for all, from family friendly properties to exclusive adults only getaways: Punta Cana has it all.

For those seeking an alternative to staying in All-Inclusive Punta Cana, you cannot look past the idyllic beachside town of Las Terrenas. Here you will discover boutique hotels and homestays alongside some of the best coastline in Dominican Republic. A stay in Las Terrenes boasts a fantastic night life with an abundance of great restaurants and bars galore, you will dine on a smorgasbord of fresh seafood and drink local beer whilst dancing the night away!

A visit to Dominican Republic wouldn’t be complete without visiting the beautiful and historic capital, Santo Domingo. Boasting a cosmopolitan lifestyle with rich colonial history dating back to the 16th century you will be left in awe! Spend the day enjoying excellent shopping, indulging in the café culture along Plaza de España and as the sun sets the vibrant nightlife comes to life!
