Holidays to Punta Cana

Choose a holiday to Punta Cana to enjoy one of the finest stretches of Caribbean coastline – think warm seas, white sands and boutiquey beachfront resorts!

Horse about on the beach

There’s beachy beauty and then there’s Punta Cana’s beachy beauty. Twinkling turquoise waves, sugar-soft sand and coconut palms are all standard here. With your beauty basics guaranteed, why not kick it up a notch?

Hop in the saddle at Playa Macao to dip a hoof (or four) in the Atlantic and take in those heavenly hues on the back of a trusty steed. Or swap horses for hawksbills and head for the turtle sanctuary on the dreamy Saona Island, just a short boat ride away.

Catch up with Caribbean culture

Leaving Punta Cana’s stunning beaches behind is no easy task. But there’s a world of history and culture to explore in Punta Cana, as well as all that sun, sea and sand. So, take a day away from the bay and make for Santo Domingo.

Also known as the Colonial City, this super-colourful World Heritage Site was the first European-built city in the Americas. Check out the Alcazar de Colon (a stunning palace), Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación (the oldest existing Cathedral in the Americas) and Columbus Park.

Take your taste buds on tour

There’s no shortage of sublime spots for breakfast, lunch and dinner in Punta Cana. But to really get your feet under the table in the Dominican Republic, there are some goods you need to try straight from the source.

Lace up your drinking boots and get on over to Oliver & Oliver – a family-owned artisanal rum producer – to taste your way through the island’s finest rums. Then, head to La Esmeralda Chocolate Factory, where you can make your own chocolate bar.
