La Romana lies on a pristine and beautiful stretch of the Dominican Republic coastline. This area offers a scenic getaway and is a slightly quieter alternative to the bustling energy of Punta Cana and Puerto Plata. Come here to enjoy winding ribbons of white sand beach and blue Caribbean water perfect for sailing and snorkeling. Wake up in your private luxury vacation rental as the sun rises. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast on the balcony of your villa overlooking the ocean. Then wander downtown and explore the shops, museums, and historic sites. Take a guided tour of the areas around the city or rent a taxi and visit them on your own. Later, spend the afternoon relaxing on the beach where you can swim, snorkel, or just watch the waves roll in. When the sun sets, shake off the sand and enjoy world class dining and live music at La Romana's night spots, or head home to your vacation rental and host dinner on your private deck for your family and friends.
