Heavenly Punta Cana
Silky white sand, soaring palm trees and crystal-clear waters - it's no wonder Punta Cana regularly ranks among the world's top beach destinations. The crown jewel of the so-called Coconut Coast, Punta Cana is dotted with lavish resorts and sprawling golf courses, as well as a wealth of adventure parks, nature reserves and cosmopolitan hubs.
Explore the world beneath the waves with a snorkelling or scuba diving session, or ride the turquoise waters with thrilling water sports. For an insight into local culture, head inland to explore the surrounding Altagracia province, from the quaint Italian-style village of Altos de Chavón to the imposing Basilica of Our Lady of Altagracia, one of the Dominican Republic's foremost religious sites. Thrill-seekers and nature lovers shouldn't miss Scape Park, while the nearby Indigenous Eyes Ecological Reserve offers an authentic taste of the tropics with its lush forests and swimmable freshwater lagoons.
