Beautiful Beaches

If you were to ask someone “what is Punta Cana known for?” they would probably respond with “white sandy beaches.” And it’s true! Lounging on warm sand surrounded by glimmering turquoise waters is definitely one of the main reasons to visit Punta Cana, and you will not be disappointed in this Caribbean paradise. Bavaro Beach and Macao Beach are some of the best beaches here, but any will be perfect.


More Than Just Beaches

Yes, the beaches in Punta Cana are spectacular, but this region boasts so much more! Filled with unique history, culture, art, and friendly locals, there is truly so much more to Punta Cana than what meets the sand. If you're up for taking a quick day trip, consider visiting Altos de Chavón, a brilliant recreation of a 16th century Mediterranean village located in the city of La Romana.


Endless Activities

On that note, there are countless things to do in Punta Cana for travelers of any type or age. Snorkeling, golfing, horseback riding, sailing, zip lining, spas, nightclubs, casinos… the list goes on! For the more adventurous travelers, you can visit Marinarium Marine Park & Aquarium for sea excursions, go to the Bávaro Adventure Park, or check out Scubaquatic Punta Cana if you want to go diving.

Most hotels offer an all-inclusive vacation in Punta Cana, so you can enjoy having all your amenities (food, drinks, activities) included in your stay. You can get luxury accommodations and perks like childcare services, upscale spas, world-class dining, and more as well. Sounds like paradise, right?


Delicious Dominican Food

A perk of travel is always getting to taste the local cuisine, and a vacation in Punta Cana is no different! Indulge in the unique flavors of Dominican cuisine like fresh seafood, plantains, mofongo, and delicious rice dishes. You’ll get to enjoy exquisite food in a tropical atmosphere, paired with the perfect Caribbean drink.


Mamajuana

Mamajuana is by far the most popular and well-known drink in Punta Cana. It’s a delicious mixture of rum, red wine, and honey combined with herbs and tree bark.
