Few destinations offer quite such a variety of ways to spend a day as the Dominican Republic. One traveller might prefer an early tee time overlooking the Caribbean, another a white-water rafting expedition through the mountains, while someone else would happily trade both for a spa afternoon and a long lunch by the sea. Here, all three can find their place.
For superyacht owners, families and those looking to explore beyond the coastline, the country offers a compelling combination of outdoor adventure, sporting pursuits, wildlife encounters and quieter pleasures.
Golf is a natural starting point. At Casa de Campo Resort & Villas, the celebrated Teeth of the Dog course, designed by Pete Dye, traces the Caribbean coastline, with seven holes playing directly beside the sea. Dye Fore offers a different challenge, with sweeping views across the Chavón River and the surrounding countryside.
For those keen to improve their game or enjoy a little friendly competition, the Dominican Republic has established itself as one of the Caribbean’s standout golf destinations.
Beyond the greens, the Dominican Republic’s mountainous interior opens up an entirely different side of the country. White-water rafting, hiking and exploring tropical landscapes offer a change of pace from life on the coast. Travellers can discover destinations and activities shaped around their individual interests, with opportunities to explore beyond the familiar resort setting.
Wildlife offers another reason to venture further afield. Each winter, humpback whales gather in Samaná Bay to breed and calve, creating one of the Caribbean’s most remarkable seasonal spectacles. For families and nature enthusiasts alike, watching these animals in their natural environment can be a highlight of a visit.
Of course, not every day needs to be an adventure. At Casa de Campo, beaches, spa experiences, excellent dining and time spent by the marina offer a more relaxed counterpoint to the country’s active pursuits. Altos de Chavón, the resort’s recreated Mediterranean-style village overlooking the Chavón River, adds galleries, restaurants and cultural interest to the mix.
For families, this variety is particularly appealing. Different generations can pursue their own interests, whether that means sport, exploration, culture or simply finding a quiet corner to unwind, before coming together over dinner.
It is this diversity that makes the Dominican Republic such a fitting setting for 1970, the Superyachts.com rendezvous taking place at Casa de Campo from 17–20 December 2026. Bringing together superyacht owners and their closest circles, the event reflects the destination itself: a meeting point for sport, adventure, culture and relaxation, with something to appeal to every interest.
From the golf course to the open water, the mountains to the spa, 1970 offers a chance to experience the many dimensions of the Dominican Republic in one remarkable setting.
