Playa Grande & Cabrera Local Area

Cabrera is a small, unspoiled, pristine town hugging the northern coast of the Dominican Republic just between Rio San Juan and Nagua in the province of Maria Trinidad Sanchez. After arriving at the Puerto Plata (POP) airport you are whisked eastward via taxi about 50 miles or slightly more than an hour to arrive in Cabrera. This picturesque rural community has not yet been spoiled by the trappings of tourism so it presents an exceptionally charming, colorful and quiet area.

Rest and relaxation are immediate upon reaching Cabrera. The beaches in the surrounding area are truly memorable (Playa Grande, Playa Diamonte and Playa Caleton stand out). Each beach offers a perfect paradise and wonderful place to meet and interact with the charming Dominican people.

Mostly facing due east, Cabrera enjoys the constant, cooling east-west trade winds throughout the year. And just outside of this pristine little town is the exclusive, gated Orchid Bay Estates community where Villa Castellamonte is located. Sited atop its own sea cliff, the villa offers breathtaking ocean, beach and tropical mountain views; an impossible place to duplicate!
