DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
– PARADISE IN THE CARIBBEAN
by Nicola Palmer, Perfect Getaways
The Caribbean is the world’s go-to destination for irresistible
long-stretched sandy beaches, year-round sun and some
of the best unspoilt scenery there is. It is situated in The
Americas and consists of over 7,000 beautiful islands
surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, Gulf Of Mexico and
Atlantic Ocean in an area of over a million square miles.
The area’s islands are spread across 13 independent countries
which are Antigua & Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba,
Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint
Kitts & Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
and Trinidad & Tobago.
The largest island in The Caribbean is Cuba which has become
a popular tourist destination in recent years and features the
bustling capital of Havana. However, the most visited country
is Dominican Republic which receives over 6 million tourists
per year.
Dominican Republic is situated on the island of Hispaniola
in the Greater Antilles region of The Caribbean and it shares
the island with Haiti making it only one of two islands in the
Dominican Republic to share two countries. It is one of the
Caribbean’s most geographically diverse countries. As well as
over 300 miles of soft white sandy beaches, once you venture
inland, Dominican Republic offers stunning mountain scenery,
desert scrublands, historic colonial architecture, vibrant city
life, and famously warm people.

Dominican Republic is arguably the leader in Caribbean
holiday resorts. The resorts are based in breath-taking locations
primarily on the coastline and offer world class facilities plus
all the water sport you can imagine. Punta Cana is the most
popular of the resorts which is located on the easternmost tip
of the Dominican Republic and points out into the Caribbean
Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It’s an area that is renowned for its
20 miles stretch of beaches and clear waters. The Bávaro area
and Punta Cana combine to form what's known as La Costa
del Coco, or the Coconut Coast which is an area of lavish,
all-inclusive resorts. It's popular for zip-lining, windsurfing,
kayaking and sailing.
