Swimming and Relaxing at Taino Beach
Taino Beach gives you plenty of space to enjoy your time on Saona Island. You can swim in the Caribbean Sea, walk along the shoreline, relax on a beach lounger, or spend some time under the palm trees.
Local vendors may sometimes be present with souvenirs and handmade items. Local massage therapists are also available on the beach and can offer massages right by the Caribbean Sea for an additional charge.
There is one area where guests should be more careful when entering the water. If you are standing on the beach facing the sea, coral can be found toward the left side, around the area across from the volleyball net and the Viva sign.
We recommend watching where you step in this particular area to avoid scraping your feet or legs on the coral. Most of the remaining swimming area is predominantly sandy.

Taino Beach by Private Yacht or Private Catamaran
Your charter is completely private. The yacht or catamaran is reserved exclusively for you and your party — you will not be joining a shared excursion with other guests.
A private yacht is a comfortable choice for couples, families, and smaller groups. A private catamaran offers more space and is especially convenient for larger families and groups of friends.
Because Taino has its own Beach Package and specific access arrangements, we recommend selecting this destination when planning your charter so everything can be arranged in advance.
Taino Beach is a great option for guests who want to combine a private day on the Caribbean Sea with time on a spacious Saona beach — swimming, relaxing under the palms, enjoying the open bar, or adding lunch to their beach experience.
