“The most beautiful land eyes have ever seen…”
Christopher Columbus 

Beyond the sun-kissed beaches and laid-back vacation lifestyle, the Dominican Republican offers a rich and vibrant history connecting Europe with the New World.

In 1492, Christopher Columbus guided his flagship, the Santa Maria, to the North Coast of La Isla Española, a paradise that would come to be known as the Dominican Republic.

By 1496, his brother, Bartolomeo Columbus, founded Santo Domingo – the first official city of the New World and now the capital of this enchanted Caribbean country.

Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1990, the capital city’s historic Zona Colonial offers 100 square blocks of historic Spanish-Colonial sites and architecture dating back five centuries. In many ways, the Dominican Republic offers a landscape of contrasts.

Alpine mountains and white-water river rapids. Lush rainforests teeming with wild orchids and bougainvillea. Miles of pristine beaches studded with coconut palms. And the warm, welcoming smiles of the multi-cultural people who call this beautiful country home. It’s no wonder visitors return to the Domincan Republic year after year after year.

Spectacular Puerto Plata

 Situated north of the capital city of Santa Domingo on what is known as the Amber Coast, the city of Puerto Plata was founded in 1502 and is home to the San Filipe Fortress, believed to be the oldest fort in the Americas. The immediate area boasts numerous other historical and cultural attractions, excellent dining and shopping and miles of beautiful beaches.

Cofresi Beach 

The jewel on the Amber Coast is Cofresi Beach, a true world-class vacation spot. Named for the fabled caribbean pirate Roberto Cofresi, Cofresi Beach is often called "The Beach Lovers'  Beach" because of its waving palm trees, unspoiled expanses of golden sand, reefs teeming with colorful tropical fish and views of towering mountains. The beach is also the home of Ocean World, one of the world's largest and most spectacular aquatic parks, where visitors can get up close with dolphins, sea lions and other exotic sea life..

Those are just a few reasons why we chose this location for Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club Resorts.
