Puerto Levantado, also known as Bacardi Island. Relax on its white, sandy beaches. The Bounty Hunters came in search of Paradise, and found it on Cayo Levantado. This jewel of a tiny island lies just off the Saman? Peninsula and is a top destination for a day of pure escapism. The sand is white and powdery the turquoise waters are crystal clear and perfect for snorkelling or gentle swimming. A typical Dominican lunch is prepared on the island and served at tables set up in the open air allowing you to take full advantage of the sun and sea.
