Upon arriving at Isla Saona, you’ll be welcomed by a paradise of white sandy beaches lined with swaying palm trees. The island is part of the Cotubanamá National Park, which means its natural beauty is preserved and protected.

Spend your day basking in the sun, swimming in the warm, turquoise waters, or simply relaxing under the shade of a palm tree with a refreshing drink in hand. Isla Saona’s pristine beaches provide a tranquil escape from the bustling tourist areas. The free time is yours to enjoy at your own pace, whether you prefer lounging, exploring, or taking in the breathtaking scenery.
