Dangerous, poor, in ruins… A former French colony (and therefore French-speaking!), Haiti shares the island of Hispaniola with its neighbour, the very popular Dominican Republic, but does not enjoy the same touristic aura. An image that could well change in the coming months with the programming of the destination with several tour operators this winter:Nouvelles Frontières, Passion des Iles and Look Voyages in particular.
Dream beaches, lush mountains, charming colonial towns and almost untouched seabed... Haiti is “the Dominican Republic of 30 years ago” (that is to say preserved from mass tourism…), according to Patrice Caradec, CEO of the Transat France group, who, "totally bewitched by the destination" , has decided to open a new Club Lookéa there, Club Lookéa Magic Haiti, on December 6 on the coast of Arcadins, about an hour from the capital Port-au-Prince.
Nestled between the sea and the mountains, in a lush park of more than 55 hectares, the Club Lookéa Magic Haiti has 390 rooms, two swimming pools, three restaurants, a spa... In addition to the activities offered within the Club itself (beach volleyball, basketball, football, archery, water aerobics, kayaking, catamaran, mask and snorkel diving, golf practice, etc.), holidaymakers can book many excursions there to discover this still little-known destination, including Port-au-Prince and its emblematic iron market, completely renovated since the 2010 earthquake. Good to know:Look Voyages supports the Planète Urgences association in its reforestation program for the island. For any reservation made at Club Lookéa Magic Haiti, 10€ are donated to the association, allowing the planting of ten trees. Another reason to dare Haiti for your next vacation?!
