Samana, Dominican Republic
Maybe you’ve been to Punta Cana or La Romana. But this is a different kind of Dominican Republic, filled with still-undiscovered places and laid-back fishing villages (like Las Terrenas). The Samana peninsula is one of the most beautiful places in a very large Caribbean country, and big enough that you will not want for adventures to far-off outposts like Las Galeras.
Where to Stay: Sublime Samana., a hip, modern beach resort in Las Terrenas.
