Accommodation in Las Terrenas

Situated on the north coast of the Dominican Republic in the Samaná peninsula, the seaside village of Las Terrenas offers you all the ingredients of an idyllic vacation: all the flavours of the world in friendly restaurants, a warm and friendly population, a lush vegetation, some stunning beaches and crystal waters speckled with coconut palms to look at while enjoying a cocktail at sunset. Not to mention Las Terrenas surroundings that abound with sumptuous natural sites.

Dining

From the Dominican dining room to the French gourmet restaurant, or from the seafood restaurant to the grill on the beach.

Las Terrenas has a wide variety of specialty restaurants. The Paseo and the Fishermen’s Village in front of the beach are centers of great activity throughout the day and part of the night. There are many excellent restaurants at an affordable price and with a very pleasant atmosphere.

Going out

Nightlife in Las Terrenas is full of open-air bars and nightclubs. After sunset, the pulse of rhythm fills the air with life and invites residents and tourists to dance in the most exciting nightclubs in the world.

Dominicans view dancing as an art and take pride in sharing their exotic moves with others. Salsa, Latin Jazz, and other types of dance music are heard in the country, but nothing as popular as Merengue and its similar, Bachata, are part of the town’s emblematic and nocturnal landscape.

Las Terrenas and the Peninsula of Samaná are a pure enchantment for nature lovers. Excursions from the village will take you discover among so many others, wonders such as the “Limon’s waterfall”, “Los Haitises” National Park, the marvellous small island of “Cayo Levantado”, some hidden gorgeous beaches such as Playa Ricon or El Valle and between mi-January and mid-March the observation of humpback whales in their natural calving and matting grounds. The quiet and splendid beaches of Punta Popi, Las Ballenas, Playa Bonita and the bay of Cosón in Las Terrenas are truly something out of a movie set as well.
