About Bavaro

If you love beaches, be prepared to fall head-over-heels for the island's east coast, where white powdery sands stretch for miles, with great watersports and stunning tropical scenery. The underwater views are spectacular too, with Bayahibe's coral reefs being popular with scuba-divers.
Airport Transfer: 1hr

About Dominican Republic (east)

A haven of swaying palm trees and pure white sands, the Dominican Republic's East Coast is where you'll find true island paradise. This is the place to relax, but make sure you prise yourself off the sunlounger for fantastic diving and adrenalin-fuelled watersports.
