Samaná Vacations & Travel

  • Samana Waterfall, Dominican Republic

Samaná Vacations

Christopher Columbus named the Caribbean Island that is now home to Haiti and the Dominican Republic Hispaniola, and when he saw Samaná, located in the northeast of what is now the Dominican Republic, he remarked that it is “the fairest land on the face of the Earth.” With its verdant rainforests, secluded beaches and hidden caves, the Samaná Peninsula was once a haven for pirates. Today, these very same characteristics are a draw for travelers from around the globe.

Overview

Many people to this day still believe that this secluded peninsula is the fairest land on the face of the Earth, due to its paradisiacal white-sand beaches, hidden caves, rolling mountains and primeval palm forests. In fact, it has the highest concentration of coconut palms per square meter in the world. The province’s capital, Santa Bárbara de Samaná, overlooks Samaná Bay, which annually hosts thousands of humpback whales from January to March. Some of Santa Bárbara de Samaná’s top attractions include La Churcha, a wooden church built by freed slaves; and Avenida de la Marina, which is dotted with colorful wooden houses.
