Tucked into a gated community in Las Terrenas, this apartment trades city noise for the sound of waves and the rustle of palms. The covered balcony – directly off the living space – is where you'll want to spend your mornings, watching tropical greenery do its thing. A shared pool is just a few steps away for when the heat builds, as is the beach when you fancy a swim in the Caribbean. A concierge team can arrange everything from boat trips to a private chef, so the Dominican Republic unfolds at whatever pace suits you.
