The Bay of Samaná is one of the Caribbean’s most breathtaking corners, a place where nature and luxury blend in perfect harmony. With its crystal-clear waters, lush vegetation, and spectacular landscapes, this bay has not only been a haven for nature lovers but also a cinematic gem.
Renowned for its humpback whale sightings, the Bay of Samaná offers scenery that seems to be straight out of a dream. It comes as no surprise that major international productions have chosen this paradisiacal spot as their filming location. Its natural beauty is simply unmatched!
One of the most recent productions to capture the magic of Samaná is "Amanece en Samaná", a film that spotlights the region, and particularly Cayo Levantado Resort. With stunning landscapes and scenes that reflect the pure essence of this Caribbean haven, we are proud to have been part of this project that celebrates the visual and cultural richness of Samaná.
Additionally, Samaná has been the chosen location for other productions over the years. Some examples include:
- Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides – With the Caribbean Sea as a backdrop, this film featured thrilling action scenes filmed in the stunning waters of Samaná.
