"The banks of the rivers are embellished with lofty palm trees, whose shade gives a delicious freshness to the air... Believe me Sire, these countries far surpass all the rest of the world in beauty." This is how Christopher Columbus first described his discovery of the Dominican Republic to the King and Queen of Spain. Today, this captivating paradise isle is still as enchanting as ever with scallops of sugar-soft sand carved into the coastline, sultry forests draped over rocky outcrops and crystalline rivers cascading through lush peaks to turquoise seas. A laidback Caribbean lifestyle and a Hispanic passion for partying mingles along the northern shores of the Dominican Republic and whether you're a sun seeker or a water baby, you'll be spoilt for choice with colourful coral reefs to explore and shimmering beaches to unwind on.
