At our vacation villa rental, Villa Cantamar, in the Dominican Republic, there are a full range of luxury vacation activities.

Beautiful Local Beaches

The Dominican Republic is home to some of the most lovely, spacious and pristine beaches in the entire Caribbean. Our vacation villa rental destination is located on the north coast, where many of these beautiful beaches may be found. Come and explore them as you relax in our luxury vacation villa.

The list below is only a sampling of the many beaches in this area. While you are here, make sure to ask the staff which is their favorite beach and you will discover new ones!

Beach Name Description
Playa Grande A truly amazing and one of a kind beach, located only 5 minutes drive from the villa, boasts a beautiful stretch of unspoiled beach dotted with palm trees with friendly waves lapping at the shores.  Surfers and swimmers alike enjoy this beach year around.  When you go, make sure to order lunch on the beach so you can enjoy some of the super fresh seafood!
Playa Paradiso Located next to Playa Grande this beach is smaller but is even more remote.  Azure blue waters rimmed by palm trees and white sand.  An amazing beach and one you will be sure to enjoy while you are there.
Playa Diamonte An extremely interesting beach because you can walk almost 400 meters into the ocean and the water is still only chest deep.  Because of this it is a favorite location for bringing the children and letting them play in the water.  Literally no waves, so it is safe for all ages.  Note, however, that this is the ocean so always keep an eye on the kids.
Playa Caleton A lovely beach located in the town of Rio San Juan, only about 10 minutes from the villa.  The ‘cove’ type of beach you remember from those romantic island movies and perfect for a day at the beach or romantic interlude.
Playa Entrada

An undiscovered gem about 15 minutes from the villa; undiscovered to the windsurfers and kitesurfers of the world.  Very much like the famous beach of Cabarete, Playa Entrada is over 5 miles of untouched pristine white sand sprinkled with palms and very swimmable.

Cabo Francis Only about 3 minutes from our vacation villa rental is the beautiful beach at Cabo Francis.  Very swimmable, very beautiful and very fun!
Playa Boca Right where a local river flows gently into the ocean, La Boca ("the Mouth") boasts a wide, sweeping beach. Great for riding horses on the beach.
Playa Cabarete Located about 1 hour away from the villa is the famous Cabarete Beach; made famous as the windsurfing capital of the world.  Ask about special accommodations we can arrange if you want to go up and spend the evening.

 

Try Playa Diamonte for a beautiful place to swim.

   

Playa Grande has some of the best 'criollo' food in the area.

   

Cabarete is a bustling tourist town with an amazing beach and world class dining.
