Cabarete on Vimeo.
Until the late 80s, the town of Cabarete was virtually non-existant,
but it's spectacular features ensured it's growth as a place
that now hosts an amazing array of vacation, sports and adventure
opportunities. The Eastern Trade Winds and warm, turquoise
ocean waters, make it an ideal playground for windsurfing
and kitesurfing enthusiasts from around the world. Even if
you don't participate in these sports you'll find the colorful
sails and kites flying in the Bay an amazing sight to see!
The action doesn't stop here when the sun sets. Restaurants
and bars lining the beach beckon you with candlelit tables,
culinary treats, and views of the ocean Bay and star filled
sky. The nightlife heats up when friendly people from all
over the world, gather to share refreshing cocktails and dance
to world beats. Sleep is a must for the next day's activities,
but it will be hard to tear yourself away from the fun!
In and around Cabarete you will find over twenty-five
different style restaurants. Great dinning under
the stars with your feet in the sand is less than a ten minute
walk from Ocean Dream and Harmony.
A few of the restaurants turn into discos at night playing
a variety of dance music, often with a local flavor like reggaeton.
Usually on the weekends one or more of the discos have a DJ
from Europe in, so get ready to party Ibiza style with dancing
right on the beach.
The Ocean Dream and Harmony complex is located on the
Western end of the world famous Cabarete Bay.
