Send Flowers to Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic

Las Terrenas feels different from any other town in the Dominican Republic. A former fishing village on the north shore of the Samaná peninsula, it was adopted decades ago by French and Italian travellers who stayed, and today bakeries sell fresh baguettes, menus come in several languages and a French school teaches local and foreign children side by side. The beaches stretch for kilometres: Playa Bonita, Las Ballenas, Punta Popy and, further out, Cosón.

The foreign community is large and settled, so flowers arrive for European customs as well as Dominican ones. Addresses are informal. Most people live in villas and small residences reached by sandy lanes, and the name of the residence plus a phone number is what the florist really needs. Send flowers to Las Terrenas before 11:00 am local time, Monday to Saturday, and delivery is the same day in most cases; remote villas up in the hills can take until the next day. There are no deliveries on Sundays.
