Beautiful sandy beaches, coconut trees and gentle tropical breezes are some of the things that make Las Terrenas sound like an actual paradise. But when the hot Caribbean sun begins to set, the fun is only starting. Here are some of the best bars and clubs to visit after dark in the party hotspot of Samaná.
ETNO Beach Club
Open all day long, this is as good a place for lunch as it is for enjoying an evening drink and some life music. It has a chill lounge bar atmosphere and several menus, both for food and drink. But where it really shines is during weekends, when a DJ takes over the scene, bringing electronic music and turning the spot into an open-air, beach-side party.
El Mosquito Art Bar
Fairy lights, exposed brick walls, and colorful paintings by local artists serve as the backdrop for the most popular bar in Las Terrenas. The music here is varied, switching genres depending on the crowd, and vintage nights with hits from the 80s and 90s are hosted weekly. For those who need a break from the dancefloor, or simply want to enjoy a cold drink, there is an impressive cocktail menu, filled with classics as well as the bar's original concoctions.
Gaia Nightclub
High-end, chic, and trendy, Gaia has three floors and its very own sushi bar. This is the perfect place to drink and dance the night away with its varied selection of music and lively ambiance, or to simply lounge about and enjoy the vibe from one of the many seats scattered throughout.
