Our first destination
Las Terrenas, Beautifully Lived.
On the northern coast of the Samaná peninsula, a former fishing village has become one of the Dominican Republic’s most quietly cosmopolitan seaside towns — golden beaches, French bakeries beside Dominican colmados, and a pace of life that invites you to stay longer than planned.
The Las Terrenas Edit is Carmen’s curated insider’s guide to experiencing, exploring, and perhaps living here.
