The jungle along the eastern edge of The Dominican Republic rose to fame in the 1960s, when a few foreign investors, dazzled by the white sands of Punta Borrachón, opened up a path in the jungle to some simple beach huts. Today, those 50 kilometres of Caribbean coastline are home to Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Punta Cana, where you can unwind during your stay in paradise. Despite being one of the top holiday destinations in the Caribbean, Punta Cana remains true to its island spirit and boasts incredible natural beauty.

Watching the sun disappear into the sea while sipping a local rum cocktail and enjoying nature is part of everyday life at Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Punta Cana and its excellent Bávaro Beach. We offer complete tranquillity and exclusive service along 2 km of coastline protected by a coral reef that ensures the sea is perfect for swimming and relaxing, ideal for a getaway with your partner.

Apart from the high level of service and comfort you can expect at our resort, luxury restaurants that will delight your palate await visitors keen to experience tailor-made activities to enjoy alone or with your family. From quad biking and horse riding along the beach, parasailing—parachuting while attached to a speedboat—and flying in a light aircraft, to diving, surfing and windsurfing courses for beginners and experts.

Boats to the bay of Samaná, a strip of sand overlooked by mountains and waterfalls, set off from the port of Santa Bárbara. Here you’ll feel like the very first person to set foot on this unspoilt landscape. You’ll also find Los Haitises National Park and its “mogotes” or limestone hills measuring 30 to 40 metres here, while nearby Saona Island offers divers an amazing underwater experience. When the day is over the vibrant night-life begins, where signature cocktails and good music reign supreme. A charming, versatile destination you can explore when you stay at our hotels in Punta Cana.
