Punta Cana holidays

Taking your holidays in Punta Cana will give you a break in one of the best destinations in the Caribbean for great beaches and sun.

Days are spent swinging idly on hammocks under palm trees or swimming in the calm waters, while evenings revolve around kicking back with a cocktail such as a rum-based Cuba Libre, tucking into fine international cuisine and savouring the flavours of your holiday destination. Whatever you do, the mix of Spanish influence (and language) and an African heritage, together with a totally tropical and quintessentially Caribbean vibe, is bound to beguile.

The region of Punta Cana is home to a variety of excellent resorts, spread along the picture-perfect coast. Among the most popular are Bavaro, Uvero Alto, and Punta Cana itself. Lush hotel complexes, replete with restaurants, spas, pools, palm trees and sporting facilities accommodate all kinds of travellers, with couples in search of romance often favouring this peaceful spot. Families too love the ambience and friendly atmosphere here too, and tend to head for the numerous hotels offering children's clubs and crèche services.

Most Punta Cana holidays are enjoyed in the excellent all-inclusive hotels that line the idyllic seafront in the eastern part of the Dominican Republic, on the island of Hispaniola. Visitors to these hotels often choose to remain within the confines of the complex for the duration of their stay. However, if you want to get out and about, tours to Santo Domingo - the first ever European settlement in this part of the world or wildlife paradise Manati Park, as well as snorkelling excursions and trips on which you can swim with dolphins are all on offer.
