Curious about what a romantic getaway could look like? Keep reading to learn more about our top romantic experiences to get the sparks flying:
1. Take a sunset walk on the beach
Depending on where you stay in the country, you will see a different sunset, but Playa Coson, named one of the most beautiful beaches in the country, is a great option. So take your shoes off, feel the soft sand below your feet, and walk hand-in-hand together as you enjoy a romantic sunset stroll.
2. “Monkey” around for a day!
Experience a unique activity together in the Punta Cana Area. Monkeyland offers a guided tour allowing you to interact with squirrel monkeys on their 5-acre sanctuary. These intelligent and charming monkeys are accustomed to human contact, so they will come down and sit on your shoulders and eat fruits from your hand! You won’t be able to take one home, but “selfies” are encouraged.
3. Learn to cook an authentic Dominican meal
Cooking classes might not seem romantic, but they truly are. You get to spend quality time with your significant other, learn a new skill, and enjoy delicious food. Not only that, but you can bring these skills home and cook together for an at-home date night, and reminisce on your vacation. There are many cooking classes that are offered, but we highly recommend one hosted by a local!
4. Relax together at the Floating Day Spa
Together, get revitalized and refreshed at this unique spa, located in the ocean! You read that right, IN the ocean! Let special fish nibble at your feet to naturally exfoliate them for a smooth feel. Relax on a floating mattress and meditate with the ocean’s natural movements. Or enjoy a couples massage together while you watch the sunset over the water. End your day together with a meal on board and a relaxing cruise back to land. This unique spa experience in Punta Cana is something you both will be bragging about to your friends!
