• At the heart of the village is the elegant and evocative stone Church of St. Stanislaus. A wedding here is pricey, but couples looking for a truly unique and gorgeous setting may want to consider it.
• If you're looking for artisan-made gifts and jewelry, visit Atelier by Emilio Robba, where you can watch artists at work. Then stop by the boutique or gallery for your purchase.

Built to evoke the architecture and feel of a 16th-century Mediterranean village, Altos de Chavon is the very essence of romantic. The picture-worthy village, meticulously constructed over several years, sits high on cliffs above a bend in the Chavon River. Elegant fountains and flowering trees grace the cobbled streets where shops and galleries entice visitors with exquisite artwork and intriguing goods. Even if you don't get married here—though it's perhaps the quintessential storybook setting in the Caribbean—you should come to have photos taken.
