Overview
On the Samaná peninsula the Dominican Republic shows what is possible beyond the well-known beach resorts: palm-lined coasts, wooded hills and a bay into which humpback whales come from January to March. From there you reach Las Terrenas, a coastal town with a beach, and Cayo Levantado, an island that boats head for. Punta Cana in the east is the counterpart, with long sandy beaches and many resorts that have their own stretches of beach. From November to April it is dry and warm, and the sea stays calm.
Couples choose Samaná for the stillness, families Punta Cana for the short distances and the shallow beaches. Spanish is the national language, in hotels you get by with English. Practical: a tip of ten to fifteen per cent is part of the service culture, outside large resorts cash in pesos is important. How you combine the two sides of the country, and whether a boat transfer to the island should be included, you discuss best with Private Islands in a video call before you commit.
