What comes to your head when you think of the Caribbean? We are sure you imagine a fine white-sand beach surrounded by crystal-clear water which gradually turns a stunning turquoise blue and warm sunshine that encases your skin, which is only covered by your swimming costume. Of course, there are coconut trees, and many of them, offering you shade under which you can sleep peacefully.
Maybe you do not know this but this picture you have in your head is Saona Island, a small treasure in the southeast of the Dominican Republic which you cannot afford to miss out on. Go on an unforgettable excursion to Saona Island on your next trip to Punta Cana and enjoy paradise on earth.
In addition to its heavenly beaches, this gorgeous place, named Adamanay by the natives, also offers one of the largest natural pools in the Caribbean. Enjoy swimming amongst starfish in its shallow water.
Saona Island also boasts one of the most profound ecosystems in the region, part of the Natural Park of the East, one of the most protected areas in the Dominican Republic. During your stay on the island, which normally lasts over a few hours, you will have the chance to admire some of the flora and fauna that can only be seen in the Caribbean.
What you are sure not to find on Saona Island are large city buildings. With it being a protected place, the only buildings you will see are wooden houses painted in pastel colours, belonging to the fishermen who live on the island.
Come to Saona Island and experience true paradise whilst completely disconnecting from your day-to-day routine. Float in the spectacular water and leave all your stress and worries behind you, little by little. Also, if you get the chance to do so, leave the people around you for a bit and enjoy a solo stroll along the coast. Feel the warmth of the Caribbean fill your being.
