Keep reading to learn Casa Linda’s top tips for things to do in the Dominican Republic.
Activities for the Active & Adventurous
The Dominican Republic is ideal for an active person who loves running, swimming, or other outdoor activities. Many Casa Linda’s residents start their mornings by jogging around the community or along the highway to the nearest beach. Morning runs are ideal not only for safety reasons but also because of the refreshingly cool morning breeze before the sun peaks.
Water sports, like paddle boarding and kite surfing, are very popular amongst the locals and expat residents in the Casa Linda community. We are blessed to have such exquisite beaches and consistent weather that allow us to incorporate the island’s natural beauty into our daily routines.
Activities for the Leisure Seeker
As relaxing as yoga or long walks around the community can be, they aren’t everyone’s idea of a perfect vacation. Cabarete has so much to offer for everyone, from retirees to young families! Island life is all about eating good food, socializing with your neighbours, and having a great time.
Whether your idea of a good time is listening to live music at a club or performing karaoke with your friends, you will find the perfect place in Cabarete. If music and dancing appeal to you, try to enroll in dance lessons with your partner and learn the merengue, salsa, bachata, and Latin groove!
A Foodies’ Paradise
Of course, if you are more of a foodie, Cabarete has delicious restaurants— you genuinely cannot go wrong with anyrestaurant on the island, and they are all quite affordable. You can have a full meal for $10 USD at most low to mid-range restaurants. A high-end restaurant is slightly more expensive but only costs $30-40 USD.
We have a restaurant called Castaways Clubhouse that is centrally located in the Casa Linda community, where you can enjoy a delicious meal for around $10-15, depending on what you drink! Castaways is at the heart of Casa Linda.
Casa Linda’s Community Activities
At Casa Linda, we have a live show every Wednesday where performers come with guitars and play for a few hours. Since most of Casa’s community members are retirees, the musicians have a robust repertoire of hits from the 70s and 80s, making for a fantastic evening of singing and dancing together.
The holidays like Christmas and New Year’s Eve are big deals at Casa Linda. Our team loves throwing these parties as a show of appreciation for our owners, and Casa community members from all over the world fly in to celebrate with us. If one thing can be said about Casa Linda, we know how to have a great time full of laughter and merriment.
