We chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect blend of tranquility and natural beauty, while still being close to all the essentials. Las Terrenas, located on the stunning Samaná Peninsula, is a peaceful yet vibrant place that perfectly balances relaxation and adventure. We fell in love with the pristine, white sandy beaches lined with palm trees, particularly the serene Las Ballenas beach, where our apartment is located. The calm and peaceful atmosphere, combined with the soothing sound of the ocean waves, creates an oasis of serenity that’s ideal for unwinding.
What we enjoy most about this neighborhood is the direct access to the beach and the spectacular sunsets we get to witness every evening from our terrace. The convenience of being near excellent restaurants and shops, yet still feeling secluded, adds to the charm. Whether it’s a morning walk along the beach, enjoying fresh seafood at a beachfront restaurant, or exploring the local culture at the artisan markets, this area has something for everyone. The neighborhood allows you to immerse yourself in the local Dominican culture while offering the comfort of a well-developed tourist destination.
We also appreciate the wide range of activities nearby—whether it's water sports like snorkeling, kitesurfing, or paddleboarding, or simply enjoying the natural beauty through hikes or horseback rides. Plus, the opportunity to witness humpback whales in Samana Bay, just an hour away, adds a magical touch to the experience here.
