Bayahibe Resorts & Hotels, Dominican Republic

About Bayahibe

Bayahibe is a small fishing village on the Dominican Republic's southeast coast, and it has grown into a resort base without losing its easygoing, seaside rhythm. The Caribbean is the main attraction here, and the village is well known as a jumping-off point for boat trips to Saona Island and the protected Parque Nacional del Este, as well as for diving and snorkelling. A stay in Bayahibe suits travelers who want long beach days, time on the water and a relaxed base rather than a big-city scene.

Our three hotels in Bayahibe offer three distinct ways to spend that time. Catalonia Bayahibe - All Inclusive is the five-star choice for families: a beachfront resort with an outdoor pool that has a shallow end and a pool bar, plus a kids' club, playground and indoor play area, and family rooms for up to six guests. Parents can slip away to the spa, massage services or hair salon, or head out for canoeing, windsurfing, snorkelling and diving. Los Flamencos Aparthotel Beach Club is a four-star aparthotel built around self-catering flexibility, with apartments that have kitchens or kitchenettes, an outdoor pool, a kids' pool, a water park and a bar with happy hour. Its Beach Club Annex apartments include a studio a few steps from the beach.

Catalonia Royal La Romana Adults Only - All Inclusive takes things in a quieter direction. This five-star, adults-only beachfront resort has a private beach area, swim-up rooms and a Duplex Suite with Private Pool, along with a spa, sauna, massage and fitness center. Guests can play on the tennis court, try canoeing, windsurfing, snorkelling or diving, and enjoy a complimentary green fee at sister property Catalonia La Romana. All three hotels offer free WiFi and free parking, so the decision comes down to who is travelling: families, groups who want a kitchen of their own, or adults after a grown-up escape.

When to go

Bayahibe has a tropical climate with warm temperatures and warm sea water all year. The drier, sunnier months, roughly December to April, are the most popular for beach holidays, with lower humidity and plenty of sunshine. Summer and early autumn are hotter and more humid, with a greater chance of rain showers. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June to November, with the peak generally in late summer and early autumn. Because the sea stays warm throughout the year, snorkelling and diving are possible in any season, though conditions vary. Whenever you travel, check the cancellation terms before you confirm your booking.
