Attractions

Altos de Chavón
   Altos de Chavón is the principal cultural attraction of the region, where the best of national and international artists perform at the 5,000-seat amphitheater. This re-created XIV century Mediterranean village overlooks the mesmerizing Chavón River. When established in 1981, Altos de Chavón was declared a working artists’ village by its creators, who dedicated it to the fine and applied arts. Its other-worldly cobblestone streets and quaint architecture overlooking Chavón River conceal charming shops, fine restaurants, intimate bars, artisanal workshops, a church, an archaeological museum and a university that specializes in design and is affiliated to Parson’s School of Design in New York.

Casa de Campo Marina
   This marina, residential and shopping
precinct were designed to evoke Portofino, Italy located where the mouth of the Chavón River opens into the Caribbean Sea. This is the place where the Dominican Republic’s rich-and-famous meet and play host to their international jet-set companions. Admission to this area is restricted, and reservations are required.

Beaches

Bayahibe town and beach
   This is a laid back fishing town and beach with its nearby collection of small hotels, restaurants and a few shops. Bayahibe is the site from which many excursions to the nearby Saona and Catalina islands are launched. But since 2006, !Vive Bayahibe! cultural movement has been presenting cultural events to make the town an attractive destination in itself and connecting free shuttle buses are now available from most Dominicus beach area hotels. The town lies 10 minutes from Dominicus Beach resorts and less than half an hour from Casa de Campo or the city of La Romana.
