Honeymoon packages in the Dominican Republic

A honeymoon package in the Dominican Republic is one of the leading choices for couples. The Republic shares the island of Hispaniola with smaller Haiti, but there the resemblance ends. Honeymoon destinations in the Dominican Republic bring you the lion’s share of the island’s scenic beauty, with mountains, forests, waterfalls and, of course, exquisite beaches. We at The Co-operative Travel have holidays at the very best honeymoon locations.

The Dominican Republic is a favourite for booking weddings abroad too, and with good reason. Whichever of the resorts you choose, you will be certain of wonderful weather and a magnificent photogenic backdrop. With the highest peak in the Caribbean, the island is green and lush with forests, plantations, wildlife and a rich cultural heritage. On the coast the beaches range from lively affairs with bars and water sports, to hidden coves where couples can relax in privacy.

Tips on choosing a honeymoon destination

Dominican honeymoons should never be left to the last moment, especially if you are planning a dual honeymoon and wedding abroad. Book as early as possible to ensure you can have the resort of your choice for honeymooners.

When booking honeymoons in tropical locations, a summer wedding doesn’t always mean a Caribbean honeymoon. The summer months are generally the rainy season, when temperatures and humidity are high, and storms are common.

By contrast the Dominican Republic enjoys a more tempered climate, with perfect weather practically guaranteed between April and November. This is also the rainy season, but since this consists of mainly short duration showers no-one complains too much. In fact, a walk hand-in-hand along a rain-cooled beach can be very romantic. If you book between January and March, not only do you get a budget-priced honeymoon, you can enjoy whale-watching too. 

The best honeymoon locations

Dominican honeymoon venues pamper you so much you may be tempted to stay in your hotel all day. However, outside there’s a whole island of serene beauty to explore.

Some young, fun-loving couples choose the party resort of Cabarete as their honeymoon destination. However, most newly-weds will prefer more intimate and scenic honeymoon locations, like the serene lagoons of Punta Cana, the reefs and plantations of Bayahibe, or the sophisticated beaches of Playa Dorada. We at The Co-operative Travel have honeymoon packages that will stay in your mind forever.
