Must-see attractions
La Casita de Papi
Dominican Republic
　　An institution in Cabarete, this homey beachfront restaurant does a great garlic shrimp paella dish as well as lobster and grilled fish, under twinkling fairy lights strung between palm trees. It's one of the best places on the beach. ...
Isla Saona
Dominican Republic
　　There’s a reason why boatloads of tourists descend upon this island every day. The powdery, white-sand beach doesn’t seem real from afar, and a dip in the aquamarine surf is a gentle restorative, while palm trees provide a natural awning from the intense sun. 　　All of this would be perfect...
Centro León
Dominican Republic
　　This large, modern museum, built with the tobacco wealth of the León Jimenez family, is a world-class institution with an impressive collection of paintings that trace the evolution of Dominican art in the 20th century. There are three exhibition rooms in the main building: one focuses on the island’s biodiversity,...

Altos de Chavón
Dominican Republic
　　While a trip to a faux-16th-century Italian-Spanish village created by a Paramount movie-set designer won’t exactly give you a window into Dominican culture, Altos de Chavón has some redeeming qualities, especially the excellent views of the Río Chavón (a scene from the film Apocalypse Now was filmed here). There’s a...
Sendero del Cacao
Dominican Republic
　　The second you step out of your vehicle into the aroma bubble of Sendero del Cacao you'll feel transported to a tropical, outdoor Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Jolly employees know they're lucky to work here; they run super fun, informative two-hour tours (in Spanish, English and French) of this picturesque...
Salto de Jimenoa Uno
Dominican Republic
　　So picturesque are these falls that an opening scene of the movie Jurassic Park was filmed here. Of the three waterfalls near Jarabacoa, it’s the prettiest – a 60m cascade pouring from a gaping hole in an otherwise solid rock cliff. There’s a sandy beach and an appealing swimming hole,...
Montaña Redonda
Dominican Republic
　　This dramatic mountaintop viewpoint has been discovered by the Instagram generation – Dominicanos flock here on weekends to take photos swinging in sky-high swing sets, hammocks and teeter-totters, or flying on broomsticks. The 360-degree mountain and sea views are jaw-dropping, among the DR's most cinematic. Transport from the parking lot...
Hard Rock Hotel Punta Cana
Dominican Republic
　　Imagine Las Vegas with a Caribbean sea. This den of decadence and cool sits atop Punta Cana’s list of bold and beautiful resorts. The lobby feels like a rock-and-roll hall of fame, with memorabilia galore, including Madonna’s sequin-covered limo. It caters to a diverse hipster crowd. 　　The casino here is...
Bliss
Dominican Republic
　　It may not be on the beach, but sitting around the small, crystal-blue pool with a top-shelf glass of wine in your hand, you can be forgiven for not caring. By all accounts, the new owners have not only maintained the kitchen's high standards but introduced homemade pastas as well...
Gordito's Fresh Mex
Dominican Republic
　　A California transplant opened this immediately popular Dominican version of Chipotle, and they're now discussing plans to expand to new locations in the DR. Gordito's goes beyond burritos, though, offering things like chicken yucatan (honey buttermilk marinated chicken with corn sauce, melted cheese, avocado and salsa), along with fish tacos...
Teleférico
Dominican Republic
　　A cable car takes visitors to the top of the enormous flat-topped Pico Isabel de Torres. On clear days there are spectacular views of the city and coastline – go early, before the mountain clouds up. The botanical gardens at the top are good for an hour’s stroll. You'll also...
