Sosua se ubica en la costa norteña de la Republica Dominicana, a unos 20 kilometros al este de Puerto Plata, solo 5 kilometros del aeropuerto principal del Norte, Puerto Plata internacional, y 14 kilometros al oeste de Cabarete.

Sosua es un lugar perfecto para solteros en busca alojamiento playero y vida nocturna agitada.

The area where Sosua is located was owned by United Fruit until the late 1920s. Sosua was founded in 1940, when approximately six hundred European Jewish refugees were allowed to immigrate to Dominican Republic (as a result of World War II and Hitler's persecutions) and settles in this area. Although only 100 remained in Sosua (which intermarry with the Dominican), their influence on this area is very evident.

Sosua consists of two separate villages which are separated by a bay. To the east of the main beach lies Los Charamicos. This former fishing village has in recent years been converted into a business and residential sector, but preserved its ambiance of typically Dominican. Almost all restaurants serve local dishes. Noisy moto-conchos runs up and down the rambling crowded streets. Most of the buildings in the centre of Los Charamicos are rather old and typical for Dominican village.

El Batey lies on the opposite side of the bay. It is an area of new hotels, upscale restaurants, boutiques, resorts, villas and nightclubs.
