Once you get to your private villa, your staff will welcome you warmly. They are ready to make sure your stay is perfect. Take time to settle into your luxurious space, look around the spacious rooms, and see all the amenities made for your comfort. Your private cook will have already made a delicious welcome meal for the evening, just for you. Just relax, enjoy the food, and let us handle everything, making your start to vacation easy and pleasant.

Evening ideas for your first night:

As day turns to night, consider a short walk just 20 meters from your villa to the small point overlooking the sea. Here, you can watch a stunning Caribbean sunset, with colors of orange, pink, and purple filling the sky as the sun goes down, along with the calming sounds of the waves. It’s the perfect way to begin your memorable trip. Or, enjoy the calm of your villa by relaxing by the pool. When evening comes, the pool area lights up beautifully, creating a magical feel for a swim or simply unwinding with your drink. For those wanting to try something different, a great choice is Natura Cabana, a charming, eco-friendly beachfront restaurant known for its excellent healthy food and peaceful setting. It’s just a lovely 10-15 minute walk along the beach, offering a mix of great dining and natural beauty for a special first evening.

Morning

Start your day exploring the quiet beaches west of your villa for a peaceful walk or beachcombing. Or, head 500 meters east to Perla Marina beach. Be aware of strong waves and currents here. Enjoy coffee at a beachside cafe and embrace the calm morning before adventure begins.

Afternoon

Get ready for a surf session at Playa Encuentro, a consistent surf spot. Your certified instructor will lead a 1.5-hour session for all skill levels in this relaxed surfer village. After surfing, return to your villa around 4 PM. Relax by the pool or on your terrace with a sunset drink, reflecting on your day.

Evening

Venture into Cabarete for dinner. This lively beach town offers unique restaurants where you can dine with your feet in the sand. We recommend Drifter or Aura for great food and atmosphere. Ask your driver to drop you near Banco BHD, then walk through Callejón de la Loma to find the beachside dining. After dinner, enjoy a stroll or live music at a local bar.

Today, enjoy the beautiful Sea Horse Ranch, a fancy oceanfront community very close to your villa. This amazing place offers many great activities for all interests and skill levels, all within its lovely grounds.

You can choose different activities based on what your group likes. If you want to connect with nature, you can go **horseback riding** on pretty trails that go through green landscapes and even give you amazing ocean views. Guides who know a lot about horses will make sure everyone has a safe and fun ride, whether you’re new to riding or an expert.

If you prefer something active, you can play on the resort’s excellent courts. Have a focused **tennis session** with a private, expert coach who can help you improve your game or learn new ways to play. Or, try **pickleball** on the well-kept clay courts. It’s a fast-growing sport that’s fun and gives a good workout for all ages and skill levels. Both options are great for friendly games and getting better at sports.

Lunch tip:

The Sea Horse Ranch Beach Club restaurant is in a beautiful spot on a cliff looking over the ocean. It has tasty food made with fresh, local ingredients. It’s the perfect place to relax and eat while enjoying wide views of the Atlantic Ocean.

After a day of fun activities, you can go back to your villa for a calm evening. You might want to cook a simple meal together, or just have a quiet night by the pool. You can talk about your day’s adventures and enjoy the peaceful feeling of your private space.

Get ready for a thrilling day trip to the amazing Damajagua Waterfalls. This natural wonder is near Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. Your trip includes comfy transport, a tasty local lunch, and a fun zipline ride. You’ll slide down natural rock slides and jump into clear pools. The beautiful Dominican countryside surrounds you.

The Damajagua area has many beautiful waterfalls. Most people explore 7 to 12 of them. Each one is a new challenge and a cool swim. Local guides will keep you safe and tell you about the plants and animals. After the falls, you’ll zip through the treetops on a zipline, seeing great views of the green land.

Important:

The walk is about 45 minutes. Water shoes are a must. This trip is not for young kids or anyone who isn’t comfortable in water.

If you prefer a slower pace or have trouble moving around, the Damajagua trip can be flexible. The full waterfall descent is active, but you can visit some parts of the park by truck. This means everyone can enjoy the natural beauty, no matter their adventure level. It ensures a memorable day for all.

These two days are for you to relax and explore at your own speed. Enjoy your private villa. You can lounge by the pool, read a book,
sunbathe, or just enjoy the peace. Your villa is a perfect place to rest and recharge after your adventures.

If you want to go out, the area has many natural spots and places for walks. Your concierge can help book more trips or activities, like horse riding on the beach or walking coastal trails. Discover nice local places, enjoy the culture, or find a quiet spot to think.

Today is all about a special private catamaran cruise along the beautiful Sosúa coast. Enjoy a day of pure relaxation, amazing views, and ocean fun, all at your own pace.

Morning – Explore the Coast

Start your 4-hour private catamaran trip from Sosúa bay. You’ll pass charming coastal villages and green hills. Stop in clear, quiet coves to snorkel. Discover colorful coral and many tropical fish. All snorkeling gear is provided. Relax on deck, enjoy the sun, and sip cool drinks from the crew.

Midday – Beach Lunch

Your catamaran will take you to a hidden beach only reached by boat, making it truly special. Here, enjoy a gourmet lunch made with fresh, local food. Feast on grilled seafood, fresh salads, and tropical fruits, with wine or your favorite drink. After lunch, swim in the warm water or simply relax on the peaceful sand.

Afternoon – Return Trip

Spend the early afternoon slowly sailing back to Sosúa. Enjoy the last moments of this luxury sea trip. Take in the coast views one last time, remembering the calm and beauty of the day. You’ll return to port feeling refreshed and with great memories from your private catamaran trip.

Evening – Relax at the Villa

When you get back to your villa, take time to relax and get ready after your day at sea. Enjoy the peace of your private villa. Maybe have a drink by the pool before your special final dinner.
