#6 IN THE WORLD

THE CARIBBEAN IN ITS PUREST FORM

Canto de la Playa, located on Saona Island in the Dominican Republic, is one of the Caribbean's best-kept secrets. While the entire island of Saona boasts fantastic beaches, Canto de la Playa stands out for its lush tropical greenery and absence of commercial activity. Untouched and pristine, it offers a peaceful escape where visitors can swim in calm waters and explore vibrant coral reefs just offshore. The sand is noticeably soft, and many claim the water is among the clearest and most turquoise in the Caribbean. Accessible only by boat, Canto de la Playa remains more secluded, perfect for those seeking to experience the natural charm of the Caribbean in its purest form.

THE PERFECT DAY AT Canto De La Playa

  • CALM SEAS

    Though there is a very small risk of hurricanes, and there are more rainy days, the ocean is much calmer May through November. We particularly love the Caribean in October and November, as the ocean is in a postcard state if there are clear skies.

  • WIND

    Look for days where the wind will be blowing from behind the beach towards the water, as well as days with little to no wind.

  • CLEAR SKIES

    Sunny days are more likely between December to April, however visits during May through November are underrated, with calmer seas.

  • TIME OF DAY

    Increase the chances of having a stretch of Canto De La Playa all to yourself by visiting early in the day.
