About Samana
Christopher Columbus named the Caribbean Island that is now home to Haiti and the Dominican Republic Hispaniola, and when he saw Samaná, located in the northeast of what is now the Dominican Republic, he remarked that it is “the fairest land on the face of the Earth.” With its verdant rainforests, secluded beaches and hidden caves, the Samaná Peninsula was once a haven for pirates. Today, these very same characteristics are a draw for travelers from around the globe.
