The largest Caribbean Island brims with nature-kissed heritage glamour and contemporary craftsmanship housed in old-world façades, whether it’s the rustic market for used books in Plaza de Armas, the Camera Obscura tower for phenomenal views, or the dreamy 18th-century stained glass persona of the Casa del Conde Jaruco. However, if your head is pleasantly stuffed with tantalising tidbits of history, Paraíso Beach, with its cool waters ranging between azure and sapphire, beguiling turtle hatcheries, and tranquil island adventures, is one of the foremost spots to unwind.
