Las Terrenas

LAS TERRENAS
A small and unknown little village at the beautiful peninsula Samana, on the Dominican Republic. Samana has a beautiful nature and an excellent climate: for your holiday and building your second home. For living and/or retirement. The most incredible beached with waving palms, long and deserted beaches and still a lot of unspoiled nature and beaches.

BUILDING YOUR DREAM.
Samana is a very good place for your second home or for living. At the moment Samana is a good investment opportunity. De lots are still at good prices, also the building costs. You actually own the house with title on your name. There is a very good tax-climate.
Now is the moment to invest. A new highway from Santa Domingo to Las Terrenas is in progress. The new international Airport El Catey will be finished in 1 year. A road from El Catey Airport to Las Terrenas via Coson is also coming. The new golf project in Las Terrenas is moving very fast.

The almost island of Samana is, without any doubt, the most beautiful region in Dominican Republic. It was here when, some years ago, the paradise searchers discovered the pearl, LAS TERRENAS.

We reach the small fishing village by taking the road that winds by the mountain after Sánchez. Once we have crossed the Samana mountain range, that offers a breathtaking bay view, we arrive to the heart of the « pueblo ».
In Las Terrenas, one plunges to the « whales », those rocks standing out as enormous cetaceans. We can go along kilometers of white sand beaches, walking or riding.

LAS TERRENAS: STILL VIRGIN BEACHES
In the seashore, the restaurants and hotels are small structures completely integrated into the landscape. Hidden in the coconuts palms, constructions do not alter the beauty and peace of the place. Las Terrenas does not lose its heart in modernity.
Quads and bikes are the most common transport. But you can also rent a « moto concho » service that will take you from one side of the village to the other with its noisy engine. For a more classic option you can also rent a 4 wheel drive or a mountain bike.

IIN THE MAIN STREET
The village of Las Terrenas is an anthill where everybody finds his own place very quickly : The beaches, the small restaurants, the colmados, and the night bars, the fabulous kindness of the Dominican, and also the freezed served local beer, the fresh fruits juices, the yuca pancakes, the fresh fish bought at the fishermen’s arrival… everything contributes to create a cozy environment that sometimes is very difficult to conceive by the tourists each day more numerous.

THE FISHERMEN VILLAGE
Yesterday the fishermen lived in the multicolored houses bordering the beach. Today the night bars and restaurants have turned this place in the « connection » point where, at night, one can taste, almost touching the water, a coconut fish or small lobsters.
Now the fishermen prepare their boats one hundred meters away. If we walk around one in the afternoon we will be able to see the return of the boats. It is then when we can buy the fresh fish, just taken from the ocean.

EL PASEO
The Costanera Paseo is located in the heart of Las Terrenas village. The Tainos indians had chosen this place as their district. Today the multicolor construction with the cane roof is closing around a courtyard and a fountain. It includes fashion stores, the bank, the quemistry and other services. The foreign community is around 2500 people.
