Costa Dorada (Dominican Rep) Holidays

Peaceful resort on north coast of the Domincan Republic
Costa Dorada is the smaller, quieter resort neighbour of Playa Dorada on the fabulous north coast of the Domincan Republic. Holidays in Costa Dorada are typically all-inclusive, with hotels boasting tropical gardens, swimming pools, gyms, evening entertainment on site, and a choice of restaurants and bars to make your stay as easy and comfortable as possible. During your holiday in Costa Dorada you will enjoy lazing on the spectacular 2 km long beach here which leads on to Playa Dorada. Golden sand, turquoise waters, and a warm sunny climate from November to April make Costa Dorada the ideal holiday destination for families and couples seeking a spring, autumn or winter getaway. Costa Dorada is approximately 15 km west of  Puerto Plata Airport.

Stunning views of Mount Isabela de Torres
While Costa Dorada has limited shopping and dining-out opportunities, its neighbour Playa Dorada is a mere 20 minute walk away and it is here that you can spend evenings eating, drinking and dancing, and days exploring Playa Dorada Plaza for shops and services. On holiday in Costa Dorada you are in the heart of the Domincan Republic's Amber Coast, so make the most of the beautiful amber jewellery shops and museums in the area. Inland from Costa Dorada is Mount Isabela de Torres, a stunning peak which dominates the tropical landscape. While on holiday in Costa Dorada you may well be tempted to try surfing, wind-surfing, jet skiing or scuba diving, all of which can be arranged through your hotel.

Lagoon and mountain safari trips are recommended
Many people on holiday in Costa Dorada enjoy a break from the beach in the form of a boat or jeep excursion. Gri-Gri Lagoon makes an excellent day trip, ideal for boating across this tropical pool, viewing amazing rock formations, spotting local birdlife and plunging into the cool water for a swim. Typical jeep safaris from Costa Dorada take in rivers, mountain terrain, a rum shack selling rum, cigars and coffee and a visit to a typical Domincan home. Why not explore other outstanding beaches the Domincan Republic has to offer while on holiday in Costa Dorada? Punta Cana on the east coast boats a 50 km beach, while Cabarete is considered the wind surfing and kite surfing capital of the Caribbean.
