DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

The Dominican Republic is one of the greatest treasures in the Caribbean. It's perfect for honeymoons, destination weddings, and romantic getaways of any kind because of its breathtaking scenery. It also makes the list for Top Ten Honeymoon Destinations because of its beautifully reasonable cost.

The main reason to descend on Caribbean waters for romantic Destinations Weddings or Honeymoon travel is, of course, the beaches. And the Dominican Republic delivers on all counts - sugary white sand, clear blue sea - and miles of it. You'll find oceanfront settings for all your favorite beach and ocean activity from sunbathing to scuba diving and everything in between. The Dominican Republic's interior is filled with lush vegetation, exciting river rapids and beautiful waterfalls. Exploring it is the perfect activity for the eco-friendly couple and those looking for a little romantic adventure.

The Dominican Republic has plenty to offer in historic charm as well. It was called the most beautiful island in the world by Columbus when he discovered it. And many of the structures that were built in its first colonies are still visible today, including the New World's first cathedral, palace, and hospital. Exploring these narrow, colonial streets straight from the Old World might be just the romance you crave. You'll find beautiful subjects for photographs and may even stumble upon local bands playing live music, a fitting soundtrack to your once-in-lifetime experience. In the Dominican Republic, romance is never far away.
