San Felipe de Puerto Plata is the largest city of the Dominican Republics north coast, with a population of approx. 160.000 inhabitants. Puerto Plata is a strategic port location serving all the northern part of the Dominican Republic.
The city of Puerto Plata has many things to offer as the old fortress Fortaleza San Felipe, the magnificent view from the mountain Isabel de Torres with its replica of the Brazilian Christ the Redeemer statue and the recently renovated 6 mile long stretch of beach (El Malecon) with its great nightlife and many great shopping possibilities located near and around the Parque Central with its enchanting Victorian gazebo.
A big part of Puerto Plata are the hotel complexes Playa Dorada and Costa Dorada, laid along a beautiful 7 mile Caribbean beach, hosting the most prestigious Hotel Chains, dozens of Restaurants, bars, Cinema and a 18 hole Golf Course in a tropical Caribbean setting. The Puerto Plata airport, Gregorio Luperon International Airport is only 15 min drive away from the city.
With the recent approval of 6 floor Constructions along the Malecon area, the restoration of all the Puerto Plata beaches, roads and avenues, a cruise ship port in the planning and the ocean world marina and Dolphin Park nearby, a constant growth of the city of Puerto Plata and Surroundings, seems to be guaranteed.
