Sunwing Vacations adds a new Dominican Republic paradise to its vast lineup this winter: Samaná

Customers can now book the new all inclusive Eurostars Grand Cayacoa, exclusive to Sunwing guests, for their winter vacations departing December 2025

TORONTO, June 17, 2025 /CNW/ - Canadian customers can get a jump start on their winter vacations with the introduction of Samaná to Sunwing Vacations' destination portfolio, one of the Dominican Republic's best-kept secrets. Nestled on the island's northeastern peninsula, this peaceful, off-the-beaten-path destination is a desirable destination for families, groups and couples with a penchant for all inclusive comfort and the Dominican's unique blend of eco-experiences and unforgettable moments.

Samaná offers the ultimate combination of adventure and serenity, including:

• A variety of landscapes from beaches to rainforests, waterfalls, coconut plantations, bays, mountains and valleys, and coral reefs to explore
  
  
• Prime whale watching between January and April, where travellers can witness up to 2,500 humpback whales gather in Samaná Bay, one of three places in the world where visitors can swim and snorkel among them.
  
  
• World-class snorkelling, diving and water sports amid colourful marine life
  
  
• Thrilling excursions with Sunwing's trusted partner in destination, NexusTours, like horseback riding to El Limón waterfall and boat tours through Los Haitises National Park

Eurostars Grand Cayacoa, formerly the beloved Bahia Principe Grand Cayacoa  is a four-star revamped property under the Eurostars Hotels brand and a long-time favourite among European travellers. Blending comfortable amenities, local culture and unbeatable bay views, with Pueblo Village accessibly nearby, this resort offers an authentic Dominican experience and marks an exciting new era in Samaná hospitality.

Sunwing customers also have more all inclusive options in Samaná, from Xeliter Balcones del Atlantico's all-ages resort ideal for long-stay vacations, to Viva V Samana by Wyndham's adults only oasis allowing for endless opportunities to explore the region or simply relax poolside.

Canadians travelling out of Montreal and Toronto this winter can also enjoy the fruits of this new destination when booking with WestJet Vacations Québec, and two new hotels from Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts that will soon be available to book:

• Bahia Principe Grand Samaná, an adults only property perched cliffside that offers panoramic ocean views and romantic seclusion.
  
  
• Bahia Principe Grand El Portillo, a family-friendly beachfront escape known for its wide range of all-ages amenities, culinary variety and access to calm turquoise waters.

With untouched natural beauty, enriching local culture, new resort options and the ease of direct flights, Samaná is poised to become a top choice for Canadians seeking something truly unique this winter when booking the Dominican Republic with Sunwing Vacations and WestJet Vacations Québec online at sunwing.ca or vacanceswestjetquebec.com, or through their local travel advisor.
