The experience

Ermitaño Beach has no road in. The only way to reach this cove is by boat from Las Terrenas, which is exactly what makes it feel like stepping away from everything. A professional guide meets you for pickup and takes you out to a beach surrounded by a mountain range, countless coconut palms, and cliffs thick with vegetation. The water is transparent enough to see through, and the sand is white. There's no development, no crowds. Just the beach itself, the vegetation behind it, and the water in front.

Once you arrive, the day is yours to structure. Sunbathe on the sand, wade into water that feels like a natural pool, or find a quiet spot among the palms to sit. The guide and crew prepare a barbecue for lunch, and drinks are included throughout the outing. The whole experience runs between six and eight hours, which gives you a full morning and afternoon without eating into the rest of your day in Las Terrenas.
