Teeth of the Dog
In 1969, Pete Dye, with the aid of 300 local labourers and his partner and wife Alice worked for two years to create this masterpiece. The Teeth of the Dog feature seven waterholes overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Teeth of the Dog name comes from the distinctive sharp points of the coral formations along the shoreline. The course has been Dye’s personal favorite over the years. Ranked as the number 1 course in the Caribbean and number 39 in the top 100 courses, worldwide.
Minitas Beach
One of the best things about a Caribbean vacation is getting to spend plenty of time on the beach. Minitas Beach is conveniently located right in the middle of it all, so you never have to go far for a little sun and sand.
There’s also plenty to do, from a variety of watersports like snorkeling, paddleboating, and kayaking to name a few to indulging in a relaxing massage in our open-air pavilion. Enjoy one of the famous piña coladas served in a fresh, local pineapple. When you’re feeling like a snack, you can dine at the Beach Club overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
Altos de Chavon
The village is a cultural center for residents, tourists, and working artists from all over the world. Active studios for artists of every medium from pottery to weaving, silk screening, and everything in between line the cobblestone streets alongside shops and boutiques showcasing their unique creations. The Art Gallery features works from noted Dominican artists, as well as artists from around the world which helps to foster a dialogue of creativity and cultural exchange.
