The jungle area of the extreme east of the Dominican Republic gained prominence in the 1960s, when foreign investors dazzled by the white sands of Punta Borrachón opened a path through the jungle to some simple coastal cabins. Today, those 50 kilometers of Caribbean beaches are home to the Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Punta Cana where you can enjoy a paradisiacal stay. Without losing an iota of the island essence and its overwhelming beauty, Punta Cana is synonymous with full vacations in the Caribbean.

Watching the sun melt into the sea line, sipping a glass of local rum and being in close contact with nature, is everyday life at Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Punta Cana and its wonderful Bávaro Beach. Absolute peace and exclusive treatment along 2 km of coastline protected by a coral reef that ensures the perfect sea for swimming and relaxing, ideal for a couple's getaway.

Beyond the attention and comfort of the resort and its luxury restaurants to pamper the palate, personalized and family plans await travelers eager for original experiences. From quad or horseback routes along the beach; parasailing – flight with a parachute attached to a boat – and flight in a small plane, as well as diving, surfing and windsurfing courses for beginners and experts.

Boats leave from the port of Santa Bárbara towards the bay of Samaná, an arm of sand between whose mountains and waterfalls it is possible to feel like one of the first settlers of the place. Here are the Los Haitises National Park and its particular “mogotes” or karstic elevations of 30 or 40 meters, while on the nearby Isla de Saona a 10-meter dive awaits the diver. The end of the day brings the vibrant nightlife of the area, where signature cocktails and good music reign. A versatile destination that displays all its charm from our hotels in Punta Cana .
