República Dominicana 2026 🇩🇴

05/12/2026

A few frames from one of the most beautiful pockets of the Dominican Republic. 📍 El Valle, Samaná
What stood out wasn’t just the scenery (though, look at it) — it was the community of lodges and eco-villas tucked into this jungle, each one doing something unique. and are two we got to experience firsthand, and both are worth every second of the trip out here.

wish we had more time to check out however definitely make sure you free up your calendar to check them all out. their lodges are supreme , that’s the first place we’re definitely going to!

Cinematic landscapes, food you’ll think about months later, and people who genuinely care about the experience they’re creating.
Massive thank you to the teams who opened their doors to us. Grateful to keep telling stories like this — about the places, the people, and the safe spaces being built for travelers all over the world to land in.

More from this trip coming.

El Valle, Samaná hit different.
Tucked into the jungle of the Dominican Republic, and gave us one of those rare experiences where you actually disconnect — no signal, no noise, just the sound of the trees and the kind of quiet you forget exists.
The villas? Insane. The food at Leslie’s Garden? Genuinely some of the best meals we had on the trip. And the staff at both properties made us feel like family from the second we pulled up.

shouts out to

Beyond grateful to have been welcomed into this corner of the world and to help highlight the work these teams are doing — creating a real safe space for travelers from all over to slow down, breathe, and immerse themselves in something special.
If the DR is on your list, put El Valle , Samaná at the top of it.
