The Dominican Republic is a Caribbean country that borders Haiti to the west on the island of Hispaniola. It is well-known for its beaches, resorts and golf courses. Its landscape includes woodland, grasslands and highlands, as well as Pico Duarte, the Caribbean's highest peak. The capital city of Santo Domingo can be found in the Zona Colonial neighbourhood, and features Spanish landmarks going back five centuries including the Gothic Catedral Primada de America.

The country has a rich history, with museums and exciting cultural events involving music, art and festivities to celebrate it. Learn to dance like a local and go to the Monasterio de San Francisco ruins on any Sunday to listen to live merengue bands. It is a great spot to meet people and dance to authentic Dominican Republic music. Punta Cana is widely known for its stunning beaches and all inclusive resorts, but it is also the greatest place in the Dominican Republic to play golf. Alternatively, take a tour of the Brugal Rum distillery in Puerta Plata to see how the famed Dominican rum is made.

The Dominican Republic is great for couples who wish to enjoy the pure turquoise seas and white sandy beaches. There are plenty of activities to do where you can build lifetime memories with your other half in this heavenly destination!
