Kitesurfing in
the Dominican RepublicTHERMALS LIKE CLOCKWORK

Cabarete is the Caribbean's kitesurfing capital, and it runs like a clock: mountains behind the bay amplify an afternoon thermal that arrives almost every day, over water that never drops below 25 degrees. The hotels we list sit directly on Kite Beach — flat mornings for the first lessons, wind every afternoon, and a village where non-riders have somewhere to go.
