Dream location, Peninsula Esmeralda is an exceptional half-island with private oceanfront villas located at Cofresi Bay – between the cities of La Isabela and Puerto Plata, on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic. The North Coast is known for being the site where Christopher Columbus made landfall in the Americas for the first time in 1492. La Isabela, located 42 km west of the city of Puerto Plata, was the first town established in the Americas, making it over 500 years old. Puerto Plata is even said to have been given its name by Columbus — when he sailed from La Isabela to what is now known as Puerto Plata, he saw a large mountain with a silver sheen, leading him to call it the “silver port”, or Puerto Plata in Spanish.
