We have a lengthy list of good spots to pick up sexy ladies of the night above, but we want to quickly mention something first before covering it more in depth later. There will be lots of prostitutes out after dark, many of them trying to hook up with foreign men.
The closer you are to the Zona Colonial nightlife area the more likely the girl is a gringo hunting hooker. Most tourists stay in that area or somewhere along El Conde, expect more hookers in that part of town.
With that said, hookers will be everywhere, and this area still has plenty of nightlife for singles. We will also be covering it more later but there are many locals hanging out in Zona Colonial trying to hustle tourists so be on guard.
Piantini is a nice area with many good places to party and may be where you want to make your home base. The Naco District is also good and Avenida Venezuela is known for its singles nightlife, it would be another solid place to stay if you hope to hook up with women in your area.
You can get a discount on your hotel if you book with Agoda. If you are looking for other cities here to try and meet girls try Puerto Plata.
Meet Santo Domingo Girls During The Day
Day game isn’t always easy but if a foreigner walks up to a pretty girl in Santo Domingo to say hello there is a good chance she will want to have a chat. Foreign men are all thought to be rich and even if she isn’t a hooker she might be wondering just what he can do for her.
Of course Spanish is going to be integral for picking up women in your area during the day, most won’t speak English well at all. El Conde, Zona Colonial and Piantini will always have heavy foot traffic, but remember more hookers will be around.
Malls and shopping districts might be better for meeting single Santo Domingo women who may not be as interested in your money, some of the nicest are:
- Agora
- Sambil
- Galleria 360
- BlueMall
- Acrópolis Center
- Bellavista Mall
Many of which are located in Piantini.
Chat With Girls Online
This city looks pretty rough around the edges and we are guessing some of the guys who are reading this aren’t going to feel too comfortable going out after dark or on some of these streets. For Latin America it really isn’t all that unsafe statistically speaking, but gringos definitely have a target on their back.
We just talked about day game, well women in Santo Domingo are going to be pretty weary of most strangers. A gringo may be able to approach them, or they still may be defensive.
In this day and age technology makes meeting new people so much easier, that is why online dating sites are so popular. In this city and country the most popular is Dominican Cupid and it works very well.
Many girls in Santo Domingo want to date foreign men and sign up to this site to meet them online. You will get replies to most of your openers, and don’t be surprised if single women are even starting the conversation with you.
This can allow you to contact girls before you show up in town to have dates set up, or to meet women near you in areas of town that you don’t feel like traveling to. Heck, you can meet singles from all over the country on Dominican Cupid and there are some real beauties around who want to get laid.
Whether you only want to hook up or find a long term partner this site will help you as much as anything else.
Santo Domingo Dating Guide
Now you know of the best places to pick up girls near you and our Santo Domingo dating guide will hopefully take you the rest of the way. While El Conde and Zona Colonial may not be perfect for meeting women who aren’t after your cash they can make for great date spots.
Who doesn’t love a great ocean view? For some specific romantic restaurants and cocktail bars for your date night try:
- Pat’e Palo European Brasserie at Calle Atarazana 25
- Buche’Perico at Calle El Conde 53
- El Mesón de la Cava at Av. Mirador Sur 1
- Morrofino Bar at Calle Emiliano Tejera 51
- Adrian Tropical at Av. George Washington 1
- Patagonia Grill on Calle Alberto Larancuent

- Bottega Fratelli at Calle Pablo Casals 35
- Qero Pisco Bar at Calle Luis Lembert Peguero 1
- Tony Roma’s at Av. Sarasota #29
- Caciba Bar at Calle Las Mercedes 319
Then after your meal go party at a club from the singles nightlife list, or take her to see a few short local plays at Microteatro.
Day Date Ideas
If the weather is nice a walk along the Malecon and in Old Town is never a bad way to spend an afternoon. You could also head to:
- Plaza de la Hispanidad
- Mirador Del Sur Park
- The 3 Eyes National Park
Remember that these streets can look pretty rough, visiting one of the nice malls wouldn’t be a bad plan. You could take a trip to one of the nicer beaches around like Boca Chica or Punta Cana. For somewhere really special to go take sour Santo Domingo girl to Oranjestad in Aruba.
Some cool museums and landmarks are:
- Museo Bellapart
- Fara a Colon
- Columbus Lighthouse
- Fortaleza Ozama
- El Museo de la Resistencia
And then you can stop off for a cafe con leche at Panavisa and talk about the cool stuff you just saw.
Tips For Tourists & Expats
Lets quickly get some quick travel advice out of the way before we get back to the Dominican dating culture. The local currency is the peso and you get right around 57 for every dollar at the time we write this, you can click here to check the current rate.
We said it before but this is a pretty rough looking country and the average local wage is probably quite a bit lower than you might think. For Latin America it is relatively safe, but you still need to keep your wits about you.
Don’t walk alone after dark, don’t hold an expensive phone out for someone to grab, and expect taxis and others to try to rip you off from time to time. Particularly in the Zona Colonial area, but overall tourists are seen as ATM’s by many locals. This also plays into the dating culture in the Dominican Republic.
There is a pretty strong ‘gringo factor’ here with Santo Domingo girls wanting to date foreign men, but it is often as much about money as anything else. We consider this country to be a lot like the Philippines, where it is super easy to get laid but you aren’t really sure if the girl likes you or your bank account.
We aren’t only talking about the flat out prostitutes you can hook up with around Zona Colonial each night. There are lots of gold diggers and part time hookers who are happy to let you sleep with them if you pay their bills or buy them something nice.
The closer you meet them to the tourist areas the more likely this will be the case, but all around the country this is common. Heck, it is common in many places around the world, but it just seems a bit more prevalent here.
It can be very easy to get laid with local girls if you dress well, stay in a nice area, and don’t mind paying for taxis and buying gifts for the women who make you happy. Just don’t be surprised if many of them start asking for more and more as time goes on.
Remember that English isn’t often spoken here so unless you want to be passing back your phone while using Google Translate learn as much Spanish as you can before you come.

I would like to meet a nice women
I’ll be taking a trip to the Dominican Republic in June I need a nice lady to show me around and a nice time
I guess I’ll be making a trip there soon to meet some of these awesome women. I’m going to need some Hottie to be my guide to show me the ropes.
My first trip in June to Santo Domingo as well as D.R….staying at a boutique hotel in Zona Colonia for 7 days…gonna do some day trips but also looking into some night action…hoping the area around there provide some action as well as Dominican Cupid and Tinder.
Planning a trip soon 😊
Headed to Santa Domingo soon, looking for a native female to show me around.
The idea to me is to get a VIP section in one of these clubs and then just wait for the women to see that you are in this section. Then all you have to do is call one over after making eye contact and then you are set.
