Las Canas sits on a quiet stretch of the Dominican Republic’s North Coast, at Gaspar Hernández. There are no big resorts nearby, which is why the beach in front is usually empty, and why it pays to plan the trip from the airport before you land.

Which airport to choose
Puerto Plata (POP) is the closest and the easiest for most groups. Santiago (STI) adds about 50 minutes on the road and is worth checking if it has better flights from your city. Santo Domingo (SDQ) has the most international flights but the longest drive, so plan for a half day of travel.
When your group arrives on several flights, send us the flight numbers and we will plan pickups around them.
