Welcome to the Adventure Sports Capital of the Caribbean

After 29 years on Cabarete Beach, we have become Cabarete information experts, and we love sharing that information with the world! We have worked hard to make our website a place where you can quickly get a feel for not only what our condo rentals have to offer, but also what our town has to offer. After all, we don’t expect that you will come to the Dominican Republic and spend most of your time in the condo.

The first thing you should know is that they call Cabarete the Adventure Sports Capital of the Caribbean for a good reason. For more than 30 years, windsurfers, kitesurfers, surfers, and standup paddle boarders have flocked to our tiny town. That’s because the five main beaches of Cabarete provide ideal conditions for every one of those sports. We have glassy waves in the mornings, side-onshore winds in the afternoons, tons of sunshine, and warm water year round.

Even if water sports aren’t your thing, we also have mountains, rivers, and waterfalls – oh my! You’ll undoubtedly find at least a million fun things to do in Cabarete. So think outside of the all-inclusive box and use our wealth of Cabarete information to its fullest. Check some things off your bucket list. If all else fails, feel free to contact us via email or visit us in the office, and we will help you organize anything your little adventurous heart desires. #adventuremoreplanless

If you are the type of person that loves adrenaline mixed with natural beauty, then you are going to love canyoning near Cabarete. Hike through the mountains in search of waterfalls to jump from and canyons to repel into. it’s an exhilarating way to experience the countryside right outside of Cabarete.
 

 

Drive an hour in any direction, and you’ll be yelling FOUR while swinging your golf club beneath swaying palm trees! Close to Puerto Plata in the West is the 18 hole golf course at Playa Dorada. The Course is designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones.

The Entire North Coast of the Dominican Republic is simply gorgeous. There are literally a million and one things to do and see. Day trips range from adventurous to purely scenic and relaxing. So, if you have some extra time, why not head off the beaten path and take some time to explore more of the Northern region. We promise you won’t regret it.

Is there any place better to learn Spanish other than in a country where the primary language is Spanish? Choose to have a private tutor meet you in the comfort of your condo, or attend daily or weekly Spanish classes at the nearby school. Then have fun practicing your new found language with the town’s friendly locals. It’s the best way to make new friends.
 

 

Sometimes we all need to take some time to relax the body and free the mind. Cabarete has a plethora of professional spas offering massage therapy and beauty treatments. When it comes to staying fit, choose from traditional gyms, yoga, spinning, and more.
 

 

Cabarete may be small, but the selection of local traditional and authentic foreign cuisine is vast. You find everything from pica pollo to Italian, German, Thai, Chinese, Vegan, and so much more. To top it all off, it’s always happy hour in Cabarete, so you will be able to sit down and find a delicious deal with a view no matter what time of day or night it is.

Most people think that because we are located on an island, it’s hard to get a lot of things here in the stores. That may have been true in the past, but these days you’ll be able to find pretty much anything you need in a grocery store, pharmacy, hardware, or clothing store. That being said, we do not have any sort of indoor shopping malls.
