The city of Punta Cana is the jewel of the Caribbean island nation of the Dominican Republic, known for its all-inclusive resorts, turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and vibrant nightlife. However, the city receives around 10 million tourists each year, so Punta Cana’s beaches can get quite crowded. Luckily, the adults-only all-inclusive resort Sanctuary Cap Cana allows you to enjoy idyllic beaches and enjoy a tranquil getaway. Although there are many all-inclusive resorts in Punta Cana, Sanctuary Cap Cana caters to guests seeking absolute tranquility.
Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by an impressive castle that shows the influence of Spanish colonial design throughout the grounds. Each room has a private balcony or terrace with direct access to the hotel’s pool and private beach. Prices range from $500 per night for a junior suite to over $3,000 for a luxury villa with a private infinity pool. Sanctuary Cap Cana is just a 15-minute drive from Punta Cana International Airport, and the resort will pick you up by taxi, shuttle, or luxury vehicle.
Highlights of Sanctuary Cap Cana
Sanctuary Cap Cana offers countless opportunities for relaxation and leisure. The private white sand beach is only available to Sanctuary guests, so you won’t be approached by beach vendors like you would be at Punta Cana’s public beaches. The resort’s coastline is kept in pristine condition, so there’s no seaweed to get stuck in your toes. Gaze out at the mesmerizing Caribbean waters from your private beach cabana or take part in a fun game of beach volleyball.
Please note that no water sports take place on this beach, as the hotel aims to provide guests with a quiet haven from hectic life. If you want to stay active, the main pool offers water aerobics and volleyball at certain times of the day to maintain a calm atmosphere. When you need to get some work done, just pop into one of our soundproof workstations for complete privacy.
Sanctuary Cap Cana has five swimming pools, including a saltwater pool where you can swim out from your suite. Enjoy a cocktail at the swim-out bar, mingle with other guests, or relax with a book on a lounge chair by the pool. Our world-class spa offers a rejuvenating hydrotherapy circuit and a variety of treatments. You can also celebrate love and special occasions with couples treatments.
In the evening, head to Sanctuary Town, a village located within the gated community of Cap Cana. This outdoor hub features live music, karaoke, discos, bars, great restaurants, and an ice cream shop. The resort itself has several sophisticated restaurants, including an Italian restaurant, an Argentine grill, and an omakase pan-Asian restaurant.
