The charming city of Las Terrenas is made up of a few main streets and the lusciously beautiful 15 km/9 mile beach that makes this paradise truly spectacular. Located within the Samaná peninsula, this area has over 30 km of pristine beaches. The local residents are a mix of Dominicans and foreigners, each with a historical relationship to the area, whether descendants from the English Slave trade, the Spanish occupation, Taino ancestors or from the most recent influx of French and Italian expatriates.

Las Terrenas is truly a melting pot of cultures and its name alone is a statement of this as it came from the French word La Terrienne (The Landowner). A name given during the 17th Century when filibusters called the area La Terrienne, specifically during 1630 to 1693. Few areas have grown in the Dominican Republic faster than Las Terrenas, as indicated by the number of new villas and condominiums in the area.

The natural beauty of Las Terrenas is its most significant asset, as well as that of its surrounding cities, natural parks, beaches and other wonders; Cayo Levantado (Island), Los Haitises National Park, El Limón Waterfall and one marvelous attraction is that of viewing the Humpback Whales from January through March in the Bay of Samaná.
