1. TOP 5 REASONS TO
EXPLORE SAONA ISLAND
Experts at Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club share five reasons why Dominican Republic tourists should
visit Saona Island this fall/winter.

2. When visiting the Dominican Republic, we
recommend sailing over to nearby Saona Island.

3. The history:
• Located south of the most
southeastern tip of the Dominican
Republic, this island received its
name from Christopher Columbus.
The well-known explorer arrived
here in May of 1494 journeying to
the Americas for the second time.
The name “Saona” honored his
Italian town of Savona. Tourists may
find it quite exciting to walk in the
same steps of Columbus during his
expeditionary travels!

4. The beaches:
• Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club
knows visitors won’t be
disappointed with the beauty of
this island’s coasts. Often
photographed and used in films,
scenes here are truly
breathtaking. The palm trees and
white sands only add further
ambiance to these glorious
turquoise beaches.

5. Nature:
• When it comes to marine
life, Lifestyle Holidays
Vacation Club shares that
Saona Island is a place to
remember. Butterflyfish, sea
turtles, tangs, pufferfish,
cuttlefish, stingrays and
trumpetfish are just some of
the species tourists may see
here. Large starfish are a
common sight as well.

6. Peace and quiet:
• Unlike some of the more
populated sections of
Dominican Republic, Saona
Island is less crowded. The
population is small here, so
visitors can feel like they are
truly escaping to a private
hideaway. Lifestyle Holidays
Vacation Club understands the
value of reflecting in a
peaceful environment like this
tropical oasis.

7. The Sea Turtle Project:
• This conservation center
located in Mano Juan fosters
a learning and appreciation
of protecting four types of
sea turtles: hawksbill,
leatherback, loggerhead and
green. Lifestyle Holidays
Vacation Club recommends a
stop here for the whole
family.
