Welcome to Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic occupies the eastern portion of Hispaniola, the second-largest of the Caribbean islands after Cuba. The D.R. (as it is often called) shares the island with Haiti to the west. Christopher Columbus landed on Hispaniola in 1492 and claimed it for Spain. In 1496, Christopher’s brother Bartholomew established Santo Domingo, the first permanent Western European settlement in the New World. Santo Domingo is now the capital and largest city of the modern D.R. This tropical island paradise offers luxury resorts, blue waters, sandy beaches, lushly-forested mountains, many unique historic sites, a great watersports scene, vibrant city life, and the best golf in the Caribbean.
