Hosting gives us the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and share the lifestyle we love most about Cabarete, surfing, the ocean, nature, good food, and the relaxed energy of the area. One of the things that makes Surfbreak special is the international community that naturally forms here. Alongside our team, we also host volunteers from different parts of the world, which creates a warm, social, and authentic atmosphere where guests often end up sharing surf sessions, dinners, stories, and travel experiences together. As a small independent surf hotel, we enjoy creating a personal experience for every guest, whether that means helping you find the best surf conditions, recommending local cafés and hidden spots, or simply making sure you have a comfortable and easy stay. Whether you’re here to surf, work remotely, explore the island, or slow down for a few days by the beach, we’re excited to share this special corner of the Dominican Republic with you.

Property info

Surfbreak Cabarete is a small, laid-back surf hotel designed to feel more like a home by the ocean than a traditional hotel. What makes us unique is the balance between comfort, community, and the authentic Cabarete lifestyle. Guests love our relaxed atmosphere, tropical outdoor spaces, and the opportunity to connect with travelers from around the world while still enjoying privacy and quiet spaces to unwind. Our design is simple, natural, and beach-inspired, creating a cozy environment that reflects the local surf culture.

Neighborhood info

Surfbreak is located in Encuentro, one of the most loved areas in Cabarete, especially known for its relaxed beach atmosphere, beautiful nature, and world-class surfing. Guests enjoy staying here because it offers a quieter and more local experience, surrounded by tropical nature and a slower pace, while still being easily connected to Cabarete’s restaurants, nightlife, and shops by local transportation or a quick taxi ride. One of the things guests love most is being able to walk to Playa Encuentro each morning to surf, enjoy the ocean, grab a coffee by the beach, or simply start the day in a peaceful setting surrounded by nature. The area is ideal for surfers and ocean lovers looking to fully embrace the beach lifestyle during their stay. Playa Encuentro is the Dominican Republic’s most famous surf beach, known for its consistent waves, surf schools, beachfront cafés, and beautiful sunsets. Many visitors also enjoy the active outdoor lifestyle here, from yoga and fitness classes to horseback riding, hiking, kiteboarding, and long beach walks. Encuentro is perfect for travelers looking to disconnect, relax, and enjoy a more peaceful side of Cabarete rather than staying in the middle of the busy nightlife area. Its unique international yet laid-back community makes it easy to slow down, connect with people, and experience the authentic Caribbean surf lifestyle.
