Welcome to Surfbreak Cabarete Bed&Breakfast
CARIBBEAN PARADISE RETREAT: Surfbreak is hosting a Yoga&Adventure Retreat from April 7th to 14th, 2018 that you can join too. More Info...
Notice about Hurricane Irma and Maria
Irma and Maria were two very strong hurricanes that passed through the Caribbean in September 2017 causing a huge amount of damage on some Islands and in the USA.
Surfbreak Cabarete and its surroundings have not suffered any damages at all from these two hurricanes. In fact, Cabarete and pretty much all of the rest of the Dominican Republic were back to completely normal after about two days of clean-up on each occasion. So there are absolutely no worries about being affected in any way by these hurricanes if you are planning on spending your vacation here. We wish the very best to those that were badly affected.
Why choose Surfbreak Cabarete
- Surfbreak Cabarete = Quality Chilling
- Only 3 minutes walk to some of the most beautiful, unspoiled, non-touristy, natural beach and coastline of the Caribbean
- Encuentro, the #1 beach for surfing in the Caribbean, is just around the corner
- It is a peaceful place, away from the hussle and bustle of the Center of Cabarete (but still close enough to enjoy what the center has to offer)

- Simple yet elegantly decorated rooms in a very rustic style. Most items are hand-crafted by local artists and craftsmen
- An amazing yoga studio including yoga mats and yoga hammocks (aerial yoga) that you can use free of charge and you can get excellent yoga classes
- For kitesurfers: A short distance from the world-famous Cabarete Kitebeach, and Encuentro is the favorite spot for "advanced" kitesurfers that want to ride waves
- An incredible array of other sport adventures are awaiting for you (horseback riding, canyoning, mountain biking, Stand Up Paddle-boarding, and many more…)
- Usage of a professional restaurant-grade kitchen
- Reliable high speed Internet (free of charge)
- 24h self-serve breakfast with freshly baked bread buns, fresh fruits, cereals, eggs and delicious freshly brewed coffee (great for surfers that are usually in the water during regular breakfast hours)

- This is what Loney Planet says about Surfbreak:
"The best value stay in Playa Encuentro offers both surf and yoga packages... The pool area and yoga studio are superbly tranquil... This is the hotel of choice for women traveling alone (and anybody else, really)." Visit their website - #1 B&B in Cabarete on Tripadvisor

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.
