In terms of accommodation, there are many drop points in Punta Cana. Luxury hotels, paillotes, houses, hotels or apartments... Whatever your choice is for sure: the landscape alone is enough to get you full of it!

Cabeza de Toro

Cabeza is a small fishing village located south of Punta Cana, not far from the airport and Cap Cana. Under the bright sun of the Caribbean, you will be happy to wake up in front of a beautiful blue stretch . In Cabezo there are very pretty colorful boats and fishermen's huts where fish dry. The place is ideal to breathe fresh air from the sea and enjoy a more authentic setting than Bavaro, with much less tourists.

Bavaro

Punta Cana has 40 kilometers of beach. The best known and longest is Bavaro , where you will find the main hotels, apartments and rooms for rent from the city. Alone, in a couple or family, the rental of a furnished accommodation near the sea in Bavaro is an excellent choice to enjoy the beach at different times of the day. It is here in particular that you can enjoy a immersive experience with the dolphins!

Bavaro is also a must-see for a party in Punta Cana and you will enjoy the many restaurants, trendy bars and nightclubs. It is a neighborhood that never sleeps, especially during the summer season or the winter holidays during which tourists flee the European gray.

Cap Cana

Located in the east of Punta Cana, Cap Cana is a 25 km2 estate that includes only luxury hotels such as the Marina Sands Luxury Resort, the Eden Roc near the playa Caleton, and the Golden Bear Lodge Spa. Easily accessible by air, land or sea, it is a real small town with its restaurants, bars, golf courses (including Punta Espada designed by jack Nicklaus), and especially its famous marina where we admire the yachts. Juanillo Beach is one of the most beautiful in the country: the feet in the sand or aboard a catamaran Enjoy the show!

Friusa

If you want to get away from the luxury and the party and discover the Dominican culture, we advise you to stay on the side of Friusa. You will find hotels at a reasonable price as well as local restaurants and bars.
