Voy Voy: Sunset Session – 4PM and party night – 8:00PM

Lax Ojo: it’s party time at the Cabarete’s favorite club, with two floors of loud music and great atmosphere.

Noise restriction policies will be applied, especially on the beach, also clubs and bars will not serve alcohol on Friday night. In Cabarete the party mood will be restored once midnight marks the beginning of Saturday! 

Have fun on the dance floor in Cabarete and if you’re a first time visitor in our vibrant Caribbean town you can easily follow the lead of the local Dominicans. Remember to always stay safe in the crowd as the beach gets packed with people. 

Don’t take valuable objects with you, don’t drink and drive, and don’t swim drunk!
