DR really only has one type of coffee bean: arabica. Arabica coffee is rich and slightly sweet. Our little country is well-known for its coffee making. Because most Dominicans drink their coffee black, you know it has to be the best quality!

We have:
Gente de la Isla — hand-gathered beans that come in different coffee roasts
Jarabacoa — elite blend of high-altitude arabica
Monte Alto — known for the hint of chocolate in its taste
Santo Domingo — probably the most well-known Dominican brand
Induban — for real coffee connoisseurs
Tres Hermanos — lightly acidity and bitter,cutting through the richness of the roast
Caoba — known for its strong, rich flavor
Escarlin — sweeter, liqueur-like taste, great to pair with dessert
Organic Caribbean — leaves hints of macadamia flavor on your tongue

😋We’re here to offer our help in picking the right kind of coffee for you. Visit Ola in person to get our advice, and maybe pick out a couple of kinds of coffee. There’s nothing like a reminder of Dominican life first thing in the morning!😋

Here at Ola Souvenirs, we carry various styles of jewelry made with the beautiful Larimar stone. Larimar is a special stone found only in the Dominican Republic! It’s extremely rare.

💎What is Larimar? This stone is also known as Blue Pectolite. It ranges in color, from deep violet to a bluish-white tone, and can even be multi-colored! Dominican natives call it “Blue Stone,” and believed it had come from the sea. It’s known for its healing properties.💎

💫The famous American psychic Edgar Cayce predicted the stone’s discovery, believing that an extraordinary blue stone with healing powers would be found on an island in the Caribbean. He envisioned this island to be part of the lost land of Atlantis. So, Larimar is also known as the “Atlantis Stone.”💫

TOP 5 must-see places in the Dominican Republic

A Samana Province 🌴

Its tropical forests, coconut groves, and hundreds of tiny, sandy alcoves are still relatively unexplored 😍
Here you can find the mountains which make it a perfect shelter even during the hurricane season; mangrove trees, Los Haitises National Park for animal lovers and adventure seekers, the most spectacular waterfall El Limon and from January to March — even humpback whales who come to the shores of Samana peninsula!

Saona Island 🏝

The diamond of the Caribbean. Here the water shimmers with all shades of azure, and palm trees invite you to relax in their shade, your feet just sink into the soft white sand…Even if you have never been there but were thinking about a vacation in a paradise: it is exactly this place you imagined!

Redonda Mountain ⛰

Located not far from Punta Cana and Bavaro, this relatively low mountain has become one of the most popular destinations in this area because of its fantastic panoramic views, beautiful lush vegetation with tropical fruit, a swing right near a cliff, and a hammock – all you need for a romantic or extraordinary photo session or just an adventurous getaway!

Colonial Zone, Santo Domingo ⛪️

If you are fed up with beach clothes and a bit tired of lying in the sun, you can dress up and prepare for a cultural journey to the Dominican capital. It is one of the oldest Caribbean cities, and its cobblestone streets, cathedrals and bright colors transfer you to the world where you can easily imagine the hoof beats of Spanish conquistadors.

Jarabacoa ☕️

In the so-called Dominican Alps with its dark pine trees and lush forests; tall mountains and magnificent waterfalls; freshwater rivers and cool hikes, there are endless things to do in Jarabacoa. Watch out, coffee enthusiasts! It is a place with numerous coffee plantations where you can learn a lot about coffee farming, and go testing.

Have you ever heard about noni? 🙊

This is a fruit tree and it is exactly the case when you shouldn’t judge the book by its cover. Noni’s ordinary appearance and mediocre taste hides the healing power of nature 💪🏼

The tree grows in the islands washed by southern waters of the Pacific Ocean, in Australia and South Eastern Asia (and in our beloved Dominican Republic, of course!). It has been used in traditional medicine for more than 2000 years: seems like indigenous people knew how to use nature treasures for human benefit more than modern pharmaceutical companies🙈. In old manuscripts you can find a variety of methods on how to use leaves, fruits and stems to fight diseases, recuperate and even extend life.

Here is the short list of noni’s properties. The magic tree:

✔️ Releives physical and mental fatigue, keeps cheerfulness, effective in fighting against chronic fatigue syndrome

✔️ Has a powerful antioxidant effect

✔️ Helps to resist diseases, recover faster after illnesses

✔️ Helps to release pain

✔️ Has a general calming effect, and thanks to the action of endorphins, it improves mood 💫.

✔️ Improves the condition of the skin, prevents its premature aging. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of noni help in the treatment of various skin diseases (acne, allergic skin reactions, burns, etc.).

In our Ola shop you can find masks, creams, conditioners and serums for hair and skin with a noni extract! We love nature and believe it is the best treatment for your beauty and health ✨, doesn’t it? 😉

Mamajuana is a national beverage of the Dominican Republic!

It consists of natural ingredients such as bits of wood, leaves, herbs, spices ….and of course, rum (we are in the DR, right? 😉), red wine and honey.

People sometimes call it “Dominican Viagra”.

Wanna know if it deserves its name? We are waiting for you at the testing at our Ola shop!
Free transfer from and especially to your hotel is always at your service…in case the tasting goes too good 😈!

Need ideas for a bright party? 😎

1. Call your best friends
2. Select a topic of the party: let it be salsa or bachata night
3. Decorate the party place with the thematic items
4. Buy tasty rum-based liqueurs Piccola Liquoreria with sweet and intense flavor

All the liqueurs:
- have natural ingredients
- with a hot mix of Italian and Dominican traditions
- have attractive colors to brighten up the atmosphere!

Where are the best cigarillos?

In our Ola shop!

Here you can find a large variety of cigarillos Swisher Sweets with different tastes: strawberry, blueberry, pineapple, coconut, chocolate, vanilla and caramel 🤤! Sounds too sweet for you? If you prefer the classics — we have them as well: select Arturo Fuente or La Aurora.

What is the difference between ci**rs and cigarillos 🤔?

Well, a cigarillo is like a small brother of the cigar. So there are only small nuances in how to smoke the two. Cigarillos are thinner, shorter and have drier to***co so it is no surprise that they also burn faster than a cigar. People usually smoke a cigarillo in less than 20 minutes, while smoking a cigar is the whole ceremony which can take an hour.

Why Dominican ones 🤔?

The Dominican Republic has remained the top to***co exporter around the world for almost 23 years. Try to think of cigarillos like wine, there are thousands of Dominican brands, but only a few have reached a certain status by producing high-quality products. These are the ones you want to buy, and only such ones we sell in our Ola shop.

How to choose a coffee scrub?

A rich cup of coffee may perk up your morning, but a great coffee scrub can do wonders for your skin! It should be an inevitable part of your make-up bag if you want to get rid of stretch marks, cellulite, and scars.

Why is it so great?

It removes dead skin particles, has a peeling effect, and the skin becomes smoother and more elastic. Coffee scrub enhances blood circulation, removes excess fluid from your body, and launches metabolic processes that burn fat cells.

How to choose?

Choose high-quality finely milled coffee, without flavorings! You can use both roasted and unroasted coffee, but forget about instant one ❌!

How to use it?

Wet your skin and lather the coffee scrub head-to-toe in circular motions. For better results, scrub longer in areas with cellulite, stretch marks, dry patches, and scars. Rinse & enjoy the smell of coffee on your skin ☕️.

In our Ola shop we have natural Virgo scrubs:
🥥 Coffee + coconut for better moisturizing
🍊 Coffee + orange for those who like citrus scents
🥭 Coffee + mango for an anti-age and antibacterial effect

Interesting facts about coconut oil

1. It reduces “bad” fats in your body (yes, we also can`t believe the fats could be good ones 😂). The body immediately converts this fat into energy (fuel for the brain and muscle function) instead of storing it.
2. Coconut oil decreases the feeling of hunger, so it can help you to lose weight.
3. Coconut oil lowers the risk of heart disease.
4. Coconut oil moistures the skin and protects hair from damage, including the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
5. It may have antimicrobial effects.

Our consultants at Ola shop can tell you even more interesting facts about coconut oil. They can speak about it for ages, as it is really a super product! Book a free transfer to our shop (the number is in bio) and seeeea you in Ola!
