Nature-Adventure
The Dominican Republic boasts beautiful nature and pleasant coastal landscapes, but also—and most importantly—its mountainous interior, which is far less visited than the coast. This off-the-beaten-path Dominican Republic offers great hiking and a few outdoor activity opportunities.
Culture
Beyond the local culture and traditions deeply rooted in its population, the Dominican Republic is one of the few Caribbean destinations with a substantial historical heritage, notably the entire colonial old town of the capital, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Relaxation-Holidays
This is the destination’s strong suit, particularly in its all-inclusive version, for which the country is one of the world’s top destinations.
Independent Travel
The Dominican Republic is an easy destination for independent travel, perfect for first-time travellers.
Organized Travel
Santo Domingo is a "classic" in the programs of many French and Quebecois tour operators. That said, the destination is almost exclusively offered as all-inclusive packages (flight + hotel) and, occasionally, cruises. It’s also popular for honeymoons and even weddings.
All-Inclusive
The Dominican Republic is one of the world’s top all-inclusive destinations, with the vast majority of its 4.6 million annual visitors choosing this option. The country offers excellent, varied, and abundant all-inclusive deals, with great value for money whether departing from Europe or North America. Most stays last one or two weeks. For those unfamiliar with the formula who’d like to try it, the Dominican Republic is the ideal destination.
