Peninsula House

Top choice in Las Terrenas


One of the Caribbean’s more exquisite accommodations, this Victorian B&B with a French-chateau aesthetic perched high on a hill overlooking Playa Cosón is without doubt one of the DR's top choices for exclusivity and service. Rooms are decorated with tasteful antiques, romantic four-poster beds and deep bathtubs. The average stay here is five nights, but you’ll want to move in permanently.

A Venezuelan chef runs the kitchen (three-course dinner US$55), focusing on simple preparations of ingredients sourced locally and from the hotel's organic vegetable garden.

The access road can be challenging to spot since there are no signs marking the turnoff. Heading west of out Las Terrenas and just past the small village of La Noria, turn onto the old Playa Cosón road at the bottom of the hill.
