Cayo Arena

Get ready for the most exciting experience of your life! Cayo Arena, whose real name Cayo Paraiso, is a coral island located northwest of the Dominican Republic, off the coast of Puerto Plata in Punta Rusia. Stunningly beautiful, the island fell into a beautiful landscape that people think is like being in a dream. Imagine sunbathing on a small island in the sea surrounded by white sands and clear waters where you can see the bottom with incredible sharpness, with colors ranging from Turquoise to Acqua Verde.This literally is this island called Cayo Arena. The sandbar is frequently visited by hundreds of tourists and is a jewel of nature, a true paradise in the Caribbean. It is difficult to know its size, as it contracts and expands depending on the seasons of ocean currents, which contradicts its location, and is one of the driest areas of the Dominican Republic.
