About Bayahibe
Bayahibe is a town of roughly 5,600 people on the Caribbean coast, about 16 km east of La Romana. It began as a fishing village in 1874, founded by a family from Puerto Rico, and numerous large resorts now stand nearby. The public beach is less than a mile from the town centre, and Dominicus Beach is about three miles away. The homes are spread over a wide area around Bayahibe, so check each one's position relative to the sea. They are mostly small, typically one bedroom and sleeping four, with air conditioning in nearly all, a garden in most and a private pool in many. Scuba diving takes place along this coast, with three shipwrecks in the area.
Is Bayahibe right for you?
- Best for
- Divers and couples wanting Saona boat trips and a pool
- Not for you if
- You want a lively resort strip with nightlife, because Bayahibe is a small town with resorts around it rather than a strip of bars.
