As the capital of Puerto Plata province, the city of Puerto Plata holds a very significant position for both business and tourism. Located right on the coast, Puerto Plata, or San Felipe de Puerto Plata as it is officially called, boasts beautiful beaches with white sands and sparkling deep-blue waters, with palm trees and shrubbery lining the beaches and a true coastal aura emanating from the locals. Beach life represents the very best of tropical vacationing, with the warm sea breeze caressing your face as you relax on a hammock with some fresh coconut water. However, forget about staying at expensive resorts and hotels that feel impersonal and don’t allow you to truly experience the spirit of the Dominican Republic. Instead, why not stay in your very own home-away-from-home? Read on as we explore the best Airbnbs in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic!
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on January 10, 2025.
