Dreams Playa Esmeralda is located in the breathtaking region of Miches, a hidden gem situated on the southern shore of the Samaná Bay. Renowned as one of the Dominican Republic’s newest and most exclusive eco-luxury destinations, Miches is a paradise of pristine, golden-sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and lush tropical flora.
The drive from the airport to Miches is an experience in itself. You will cruise along the modern Miches highway, capturing stunning panoramic views of the Cordillera Oriental (Eastern Mountain Range), rolling green hills, local cattle ranches, and dense palm groves.
