The Location: Las Terrenas, Samaná Peninsula

Bahia Principe Grand El Portillo is located in Las Terrenas, a charming, cosmopolitan beach town on the northern coast of the Samaná Peninsula. Known as the Dominican Republic’s best-kept secret, Samaná is worlds away from the flat resort corridors of the east. It is a region defined by dramatic topography, rolling mountains, and millions of coconut palms stretching down to meet the Atlantic Ocean.

The beach at El Portillo is legendary. It features miles of golden sand, calm coral reefs teeming with marine life, and shallow, clear waters that make it feel like a massive natural swimming pool. Las Terrenas itself blends vibrant Dominican culture with a distinct European flair, offering world-class beachfront dining, boutique shopping, and a laid-back, bohemian atmosphere.

The Resort: Family-Friendly Adventure at Bahia Principe El Portillo

  • A Beachfront Paradise: Situated on a pristine, exclusive stretch of coast where the reef is just steps from your beach towel.

  • Family & Fun: Features an exciting on-site water park for children, a large lake-style pool, and daily activities ranging from catamaran sailing to scuba diving lessons.

  • Gourmet Gastronomy: Multiple à la carte restaurants showcasing exquisite French, Italian, and fresh seafood cuisines, alongside lively tropical bars.

  • The Gateway to Adventure: The resort’s strategic location makes it the perfect basecamp for iconic excursions like the Limon Waterfall, whale watching in Samaná Bay, or exploring the prehistoric caves of Los Haitises National Park.
