Your Escape Begins…
Surfbreak Cabarete, a nature and adventure-inspired vacation property, is tucked into the tropical beauty of the Encuentro Beach surfing area, just 5 minutes from Cabarete and 20 minutes from Puerto Plata International Airport. Relax in the amazing tropical gardens surrounding the pools... do yoga in the fantastic yoga studio, cook your own meal in our well-equipped communal kitchen, or take a short walk to the unspoiled Encuentro Beach for a surfing session or just for a walk.
Unwind… Breathe in Nature
Accommodations on the two properties are rustically and artistically designed and each rental unit offers a bathroom with shower, a fridge, a fan and maid service. Additional room options include Air Conditioning (in some rooms).
Good for Your Soul…
The benefits of yoga on surfing are numerous and surfing is known to be great for the soul! Not every Yogi is a surfer, or vice versa, but what both share is a respect for the beauty and simplicity of nature… which you will find in abundance here. Surfbreak Cabarete hosts singles, couples and groups who want to enjoy this, each other and the array of activities Cabarete and the surrounding area has to offer.
