Make your next international flight a trip to Punta Cana.
Punta Cana is a resort lover’s dream, where you can luxuriate without lifting a finger.
Immaculate beaches and turquoise waters draw people to this idyllic Dutch island, but the friendly residents and vibrant international culture are what keep them coming back.
Whether your idea of fun is sitting on a beach with a drink in hand or careening through the rainforest via zip line, this tropical gem has you covered.
Combine the historic charm of Old San Juan with the high-end shops of Condado, and throw in sparkling beaches, renowned restaurants, and eclectic hotels. ¡Aqui vamos!
The livin’ is easy in this laidback Dominican Republic destination where the beaches are tranquil, the golf is world-class, and the drinks flow freely. Start with a jaunt down Bavaro Beach. Colorful shacks, packed with souvenirs aplenty, dot the shoreline of this white-sand beach. Flea market finds include cigars, handmade crafts, jewelry, paintings, and rum. Pro tip: Items rarely have price tags, so come ready to haggle. Next, stroll over to Caribbean Street. On this palm-lined stretch, kaleidoscopic storefronts peddle everything from watercolor paintings and silk scarves to beaded necklaces and fine amber jewelry.
Fans of old-world architecture should be sure to swing by Altos de Chavon. This replica 16th-century Mediterranean village houses a 5,000-seat amphitheater with scenic views of the Chavón River. At the art gallery, browse pieces by local makers. Less than an hour from Punta Cana lies Bayahibe, a beach town that promises crystal-clear water and white sand. Visit Saona Island, just off the coast, for snorkeling, or Parque Nacional del Este, a marine park. For something a bit more off beat, visit ChocoMuseo. Two-hour workshops teach guests how to turn local cacao beans into chocolate treats. Afterward, indulge your sweet tooth with decadent drinks and desserts.
