Dominican Republic
Punta Cana
Miles of palm-lined beach, warm Caribbean waters, and outstanding all-inclusive value.
Punta Cana is the Dominican Republic's crown jewel — a 32-kilometre stretch of palm-lined white sand on the eastern tip of the island. All-inclusive resorts here offer exceptional value: unlimited dining, water sports, golf courses, and kids' clubs, all at prices that undercut most Caribbean competitors. Excursions to Saona Island, the Higuey basilica, and zip-line adventures through tropical canopy add variety.

Travel Tips for Punta Cana
- Most resorts are self-contained — you can happily spend a week without leaving. But excursions to Saona Island and Santo Domingo are worth the trip.
- The Dominican peso gives better value than US dollars, though both are accepted everywhere in the resort area.
- Pack insect repellent — the tropical climate means mosquitoes are present, particularly at dawn and dusk.
- Check whether your resort includes airport transfers. Most do, but confirming in advance avoids surprises on arrival.
