Cabarete is a small, laid-back Caribbean beach village located only 20 minutes away from the Puerto Plata International Airport on the northern shore of the Dominican Republic. An increasing number of major international airlines are now planning scheduled flights into Puerto Plata due to the popularity of the North.

Breaking away from the 'all-inclusive' vacation seen in other parts of the island, Cabrete is nicely set up as an upscale vacation haven with an abundance of water sports and golf, and reflected by phenomenal increases in real estate prices that are now being enjoyed by owners of property here. It's a perfect tropical vacation spot, especially for travellers seeking fun, new friends and sporting adventures. With its charming, hip ambience and a combination of relaxed and adventurous lifestyles, most visitors can barely resist the spontaneous temptation of extending their stay and just hang around the place for another while.

The village of Cabarete is spread out across the centre of a gorgeous, semi-circular beach of golden, sun-soaked, sand. Just behind, limiting its size lies a tranquil lagoon, backed up by richly verdant hills overflowing with luxurious tropical vegetation.

The perfect blend of the surrounding physical elements of nature such as the location of the offshore reef at the entrance of the bay, the direction from which the trade winds usually blow, and the low-lying hills behind the village, which cause a unique thermal effect, form a beautiful layout. They create an unusual synthesis of outstanding wind and wave conditions. These make Cabarete's bay an exceptional location not only for water-sports such as kite boarding and windsurfing, but for regular surfing at El Encuentro beach as well. |

Cabarete is also the perfect place to just lay back to work on that perfect tan. It's the best thing to do when you're not out gliding over warm Caribbean waters, or participating in some other fun adventure sport such as mountain-biking, scuba-diving, wakeboarding, cave exploring or canyoning. And Cabarete's nightlife (restaurants, bars and discos) is legendary. If you are not having fun in Cabarete, you must be dead.
Until the late 80s, the town of Cabarete was virtually non-existent, but it's spectacular features ensured it's growth as a place that now hosts an amazing array of vacation, sports and adventure opportunities. The Eastern Trade Winds and warm, turquoise ocean waters, make it an ideal playground for windsurfing and kite surfing enthusiasts from around the world. Even if you don't participate in these sports you'll find the colourful sails and kites flying in the Bay an amazing sight to see! |
