This is it, a surf style palm leaf bungalow on the beach. Simplicity at it's finest. Sleeping to the sound of the waves and waking up to the view of the turquoise water. One of the best places in the world for kitesurfing is the Dominican Republic, especially the flat water lagoon paradise in Buen Hombre. Buen Hombre is a hidden gem. A rustic, non-commercial, non-touristic fishing village surrounded by mountains and 15 km away from the windiest beach in the Dominican Republic. Buen Hombre has still preserved rustic real Dominican Culture unspoilt by tourism; surf-style, fresh seafood, rum and living right at the spot on the beach. In the perfect conditions, you can learn to kiteboard a lot faster saving you time and resources which is what this location provides.
On average, Buen Hombre has 6-10 knots more wind than Cabarete. In the summer for 3 months the wind averages 25-35 knots. The water is flat and shallow and ideal to learn and practice your tricks. You can kite all year around and there is very consistent wind most days. There are many down winders available from 14-27 km in beautiful waters with some nice waves further out.
Motoconchos, mototaxis and moto rentals make getting around easy! Also, it is a lot safer as Buen Hombre is a small village and there is no hectic traffic. Taxis and rides from the Kite Camp are also easily available.
Santiago is the closest airport at just a 90-minute taxi ride away. There are also buses available which can help you get most of the way.
