Where is bacardi island

To make it really exciting you can turn this drive into a road trip. You will be passing Juan Dolio , where you can visit more sites. When you are in Samana, stop by the Cascada de Lulu , and visit the Treehouse village.

Or you can take a different route. Travel to Miches from Punta Cana and take the boat to Samana from there. Before you take the boat, stop by the tallest waterfall and the Montana Redonda. If you really plan it very well there might even be time to visit Playa Esmeralda. Cayo Levantado is located in Samana Bay. They cannot be missed. The beach that surrounds this Bacardi island is known as one of the most beautiful beaches in the area.

We know, the Dominican Republic has so many gorgeous beaches, but every time we are even surprised by the beauty of them. This one is as heavenly as it gets. White sand, crystal clear blue water and the feeling of being in a Bacardi commercial. All you need is 50 extra actors to make the dream come alive. Bacardi Island is little more than three square kilometres in size, and of its three beaches, only one is reserved for guests of its local hotel, Luxury Bahia Principe Cayo Levantado.

Luckily, the main public beach Playa Grande lives up to its bombastic name. Natural beauty is a mainstay here, with towering palm trees that waft in the open air and brilliant sun that streams down as you recline on the comforting warm sand.

That said, Playa Grande also ensures that there are plenty of amenities to savour. For one thing, you can expect cocktails galore and a few choice cool beers to be the mainstay of local little bars peppered along the beach, as well as at the handful of nearby restaurants.

There are few things more Instagram worthy than the notion of sipping cola and Bacardi on Bacardi Island. Playa Grande also boasts restaurants like Bacardi Seafood Restaurant, which as the name suggests, brings the fresh catch of the day straight to your plate after some lovingly local preparation. The water off the coast of Bacardi Island acts as a nursery and breeding ground for humpback whales every year between January and March. That makes for a lovely added bonus to those of you seeking some winter sun or a new year, new you approach.

During high season they might have various boats leaving daily. You can also arrange a private trip by talking to the locals at the main dock of Samana who will take you there on their small 18 to 23 foot motor boats called Yolas , prices will depend on your group size, your personnal schedule and your negociation skills!
