And just a 10-minute drive from the center of Cabarete and Sosua which offers a wide variety of restaurants, bars, clubs, shops, and much more.
HISTORY KIBAYO BUILDING
Kibayo opened its doors in December 2021. Before that time, it was already a healing place. For 20 years it functioned as a nursing home where people with psychological problems and/or addiction came to rehab and relax. It was a place where AA meetings where held every week and where people who needed it were cared for. It is therefore no wonder that you still feel the healing energy when you step through the gate.
