Las Terrenas - History

Although there is access through the mountain road, the area of Las Terrenas can be reached by small plane. Situated between Sanchez and Samana, these north coast resort towns offer exceptional beaches and vegetation.

Las Terrenas is a small resort area with basic facilities, a handful of hotels and idyllic palm-fringed beaches. The “in” spot on the Samana Peninsula is around the seaside town of Las Galeras, 16 mi/25 km north of Samana. There are several small hotels there and of course, an all-inclusive resort. If you want to avoid the road trip to Samana, you can also take one of the small (five-passenger) airplanes that fly from Santo Domingo. Samana is 65-min/105 km northeast of Santo Domingo.

A miraculous cove, hidden by mountains, Las Terrenas is a paradise known by few. And yet, surrounded by a tropical bounty of coconut trees and swathed by trade winds, this exceptional place is a perfect cocktail of nature, discovery and freedom, seducing all those who approach it.
