5 reasons to visit Samaná now

The samana peninsula in the dominican republic is a caribbean jewel away from typical all inclusive caribbean resorts, and these are the top 5 reasons to visit samana in your next adventure.

 

But first, some data. Samana is located in the Dominican Republic’s north coast, about 2 hours away from Santo Domingo which is its main point of entry for international travelers. An enviably rich marine life, crystal clear water and white sand beaches, blue rivers andd tropical jungle make up this caribbean jem. Samana has a conservationist spirit and corners still untouched by civilization, a dream come true for the avid explorer.

Weather is warm year round, ranging between 25 and 35 degrees celsius. Now, without further delay, the top 5 reasons why you can’t miss this destination.

 

1.- Raw nature.

You get a constant feeling of being completely immersed in the enormity of nature, be it at sea or in the tropical jungle. Infinite shades of green fuse together along the waving mountain roads that cross the peninsula, showcasing amazing ocean views. You can find many spots that seem unreached by human hands, allowing for a pure and authentic contact with the land.

2.- Virgin beaches.

Must have on the list, the beaches in this region will take your breath away. Rincon beach in Las Galeras is considered one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world, and we agree! There’s caribbean postcard beaches of tranquil turquoise waters and dust like sand surrounded by coral reefs, and surf spots for all levels. Few places have the amazing array of untouched terrain.

3.- Beautiful people.

Dominicans are cheerful, welcoming and kind! Wherever you go you’ll be greeted with a smile and a helping hand if you need it. Music is always present and impromptu bachata lessons are a given.

4.-The weather.

When asked “what’s the best time to visit?” The answer is: always! The weather in the Dominican Republic is warm year round, perfect to enjoy the beach without worrying about being chilly. In the evening a light jacket and some airy pants are enough, and we love that.

5.- Easy living.

In Samana time stops. Little is needed because what is around is more than enough. It’s easy to get of screens and leave worries in the suitcase at least for a few days, which always seem short. Imagine spending the days barefoot, appreciating the small beautiful things in life like a tasty meal, fresh water and good company.

 

This is why we love Samana! What calls you to hit the road?
