Full description

Isla Saona is a 42 square kilometer oasis off the southern coast of the Dominican Republic. Originally called “Adamanay” by the Taino Indians, the island was renamed by Christopher Columbus during his second voyage to the Americas in 1494. The name, “Saona,” commemorates his friend Michele da Cuneo, from Savona, Italy.

 This is one of the most famous beaches in the country, known for its white sands, turquoise waters, and tropical palms. We will take you to the island in a speedboat that includes a stop at a natural pool with transparent waters in the middle of the sea. When we meet on Saona Island, you will have many options such as: swimming in the calm waters, visiting the open bar, taking a nap in a beach hammock, playing volleyball, enjoying a delicious typical lunch or walking along the coast. Most likely, you will do everything!

 A stop is made at the natural pool of Playa Palmilla, about 200 or 300 meters from the beach line, with water at knee or waist height, to enjoy a perfect landscape and climate. Bathers have to enjoy some 800 meters parallel to the beach, between the white sand and the huge coral terrace that separates the natural pool from the open sea and that makes this geological wonder possible.
