Dominican Republic cuisine is a combination of the influences from the Spanish, Taino, and African heritage that has painted the country in so many colors throughout its History. One exciting thing about meals here is that the Dominicans prefer heavy breakfast and lunch, while dinner is just a light meal.
While in the country, taste some authentic dishes like the Sancocho, a thick soup cooked with meats and vegetables. Spice up your breakfast with the Mangú, a breakfast favorite served with mashed plantain and other local meats, cheeses, and eggs.
Chicken also acts as the main ingredient in most Dominican dishes such as pollo guisado. If you love seafood, lobster is frequently on the menu. Typical desserts include sweet beans, coconut sweet, and the Majarete.
What about liqueurs? Mama Juana is a typical liquor with an intense taste but well worth the try. The Dominican rum is also a favorite among locals and tourists because it’s soft. The country grows over 25 coffee varieties that you can compare - coffee is served black.
Apart from being a premier resort destination, Dominican Republic has a lot more to offer to curious visitors.
Do you want to learn about the history of the country? Santo Domingo delivers on history and so much more. As you wander along the streets of this city, you’ll see crumbling ruins and beautifully preserved colonial architecture.
Calle El Conde is one of the most famous streets lined with old buildings, some of which have been converted into restaurants, shopping areas, and chapels. Make sure to visit the Catedral Primada de América, the first cathedral in America, which is still in use.
Whales migrate from the deep sea to several parts of the Dominican Republic between December and March when the weather is cool. The whales move here at this time to mate and give birth. If you go whale watching, you’ll surely take lots of photos of the majestic humpback whales.
If you’re an adrenaline junkie, head to the 27 Damajagua Waterfalls and tick this fun activity off your bucket list. Here you’ll climb up the cliffs overlooking the waterfalls, then you can jump inside the pools below. An activity reserved for the most adventurous but that will be done with the utmost safety.
If you want to discover more beyond the scene at Punta Cana and other resort destinations, hop on a speed boat to this natural beauty. Parque Nacional del Este is a UNESCO National Heritage site that hosts many plants, animals, and birds.
The park is also host to the Isla Saona beaches that are lined with white sands and lounge chairs where you can soak up the sun.
Don’t end your trip without visiting the mountains of Jarabacoa. Here you’ll engage in fun water sports like rafting. There are many trails where you can hike or bike as you enjoy the beauty of Dominican nature.
The Dominican Republic has some of the best beaches in the Caribbean. You’ll find beaches within our Iberostar All-Inclusive resorts in the Dominican Republic, private beaches, and everything in between.
The turquoise blue waters of Bavaro beach, located just north of Punta Cana, are one of the area’s main draws. The beach is also home to one of our best Iberostar beach resorts, where you can relax as you unwind. Walk barefoot on the white sands during an evening or morning stroll. Alternatively, sit on the lounge chairs and read a book as you soak up the sun.
As it gets hotter during midday, get into the waters and swim away from the heat. Beyond the swimming zone, you can ride a boat or try parasailing.
Located on the Amber Coast, Playa Dorada Beach is a resort beach lined with palm trees and surrounded by white sands and clear waters. Overlooking the beach is a beautiful mountain scenery. The beach is home to our Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada resort.
Kite Beach is widely known as a destination for all forms of water sports. World championships for kitesurfing, windsurfing, and paddle surfing are held annually in February. If you want to learn a new sport, you’ll get trained by professionals on this beach.
Cabarete beach will complete your tropical destination vacation with its calm and clean waters.
