Sosua, Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic covers the eastern two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola (La Isla Española), the first New World colony settled by Spain. It lies between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic ocean, east of Haiti, and its population is a striking mix of black, white and mestizo.

Do you want to learn Spanish, be active, enjoy your holidays, meet people, and discover a new country? Then Sosua is the right place for you. This small seaside town on the north coast of the Dominican Republic offers a great variety of activities like swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving. Cabarete, one of the world’s top spots for wind and kite surfing, is just a 15-minute drive away. At night people go out to one of the numerous beach bars, restaurants, and discos, enjoy getting to meet the locals, having a chat, dancing, and partying together.
Sosua serves also as a perfect base camp for excursions into the countryside. It is located about 25km east of Puerto Plata and 12km west of Cabarete. Two villages mainly shape the town: Los Charamicos, a formerly sleepy fishing village with its typically Dominican ambiance, and El Batey, a commercial and residential area with restaurants, shops and hotels. Both districts are connected by one of the finest beaches in the Dominican Republic: Playa Sosua, more than half a mile of soft, golden-yellow sand, tucked in a cove sheltered by coral cliffs and crystal-clear water.
