An exclusive, gated beachside residential and vacation complex occupying 15,000 acres of prime land near the airport, Puntacana Resort & Club has everything a visitor could want.
Here are some top reasons to experience this amazing destination in the Dominican Republic.
1. Sunshine all year round. Punta Cana has a tropical climate, meaning it’s warm and sunny all year round. There are dry and rainy seasons, but there’s plenty of sunshine in between the rains. The best time to visit is between November and March, making it the perfect winter holiday destination for UK golfers.
2. It is very conveniently located in the southeast, one of the most popular tourist destinations, and has built a reputation as one of the best holiday destinations in the Caribbean.
3. Punta Cana International Airport is just a few minutes’ drive from the main resort, making it the most convenient of all Dominican Republic destinations. Upon arrival, guests will be privately picked up by golf buggy at the Runaway, where staff will assist with luggage collection and passport formalities, which will also be handled upon check-in on the return journey.
4. There’s a choice of hotels and villa accommodation to suit all budgets, particularly the Westin and Tortuga Bay Hotel, the latter of which is the resort’s most exclusive hotel, with rooms in beachside villas, and each villa comes with a complimentary golf buggy so you can zip around the various attractions within Punta Cana on its own dedicated cart paths.
5. The 10 restaurants in the hotel and clubhouse serve delicious food and drinks, including international and local cuisine. After sipping cocktails, you can enjoy lunch on the beach at Arena Beach Club, which is a dream to visit, with a beautiful view of the beach and coral reef. Punta Cana Resort Marina also has an authentic seafood restaurant, La Yola, located on the waterfront, where you can enjoy a fusion of Caribbean and Mediterranean flavors.
6. The resort’s own Corales Golf Course is just steps from the hotel, with scheduled shuttle service. It’s one of the Dominican Republic’s best golf courses and home to the Corales Punta Cana Championship, a PGA Tour event. The views from the clubhouse are breathtaking, including the 18th hole, one of the best finishing holes, and a panoramic view of the rugged coastline beyond, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea.
7. Its sister course, La Cana Golf Course, is a less challenging but equally enjoyable 27 holes, many of which are set along the stunning coastline. It may be gentler than Corrales, but it’s by no means a formidable course, and the clubhouse is also in a great setting overlooking the white sand and turquoise waters.
8. Enjoy a wide range of activities including tennis, polo, horse riding, biking, walking trails and a variety of water sports on our beautiful beaches. The spa at La Cana Golf & Beach Club offers a variety of treatments. Tours available include Segway eco tours, shipwreck diving, heli tours and sunset cruises.
9. Visit Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park & Reserve, a 1,500-acre property donated by Punta Cana resort developers to showcase local wildlife and animals. Here you’ll see recovering Ridgway’s hawks (an endangered species currently found only in the Dominican Republic), native rhinoceros iguanas, and the beehives that produce the honey unique to Punta Cana that’s served on the hotel’s breakfast table.
10. Swim with turtles in one of 12 crystal blue natural freshwater lagoons nestled in the remote jungle adjacent to the reserve. Each lagoon was sacred to the indigenous Taino people, who first settled in the area.
