Santo Domingo was the first colony in the New World. It was established by Spain in 1492. The colony was granted administrative powers over the Spanish possessions in the Caribbean.
The colony remained a military stronghold of the Spanish Empire for over a century, successfully defending against British, Dutch, and French until the early 17th century.
Nowadays, Dominican Republic is the second largest and most diverse Caribbean country. It is situated just two hours south of Miami, less than four hours from New York. Known for its warm and hospitable people. Dominican Republic is a destination like no other, featuring astounding nature, history and rich culture.
Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean in the north and the Caribbean Sea in the south, this tropical island paradise boasts nearly 1,000 miles (1,609 km) of coastline. And not forgetting over 250 miles (402 km) of some of the world’s best beaches, magnificent resorts and hotels, and a variety of sports, recreation and entertainment options.
