About Cayo Levantado

Bounty hunters went to the Caribbean in search of paradise - and found it on Cayo Levantado. Lying just off the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic, this tiny jewel of an island (nicknamed Bacardi Island because its palm trees resemble the ones in the rum distiller’s adverts) is the perfect spot for pure escapism.

White sands and wooden walkways lead the way to the ocean, which is ideal for a spot of snorkelling. Enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch here - a great way to relax and soak up the atmosphere. The natural rainforests full of verdant vegetation provide excellent shelter from the midday sun.

The island is also an ideal spot to see humpbacked whales, as thousands of the creatures migrate to the warmer North Atlantic waters during the winter months.
