Punta Cana is the Dominican Republic's most popular tourist destination, a paradise of sun, sea and sand. Located on the eastern tip of the country, this coastal town is made for holidaymakers seeking rest and relaxation with a beautiful Caribbean ambience and a laid-back attitude. With facilities and services that rival some of the world's best airports, including a pool overlooking the runway that forms part of the VIP lounge, Punta Cana Airport doesn't shy away from its Dominican roots. When it comes to activities, visitors can go horseback riding along the beach at sunset or try their luck at the Punta Cana Casino.
If basking in the warm glow of the sun with an ice-cold drink in hand all day isn't your thing, don't worry: Punta Cana has a variety of other attractions for everyone. From snorkelling and other water sports to independent restaurants (try Captain Cook for the best lobster in town), there's something for everyone. The morning after a lively night out at Coco Bongo Punta Cana, the region's hot spot offering live entertainment in a disco atmosphere, you can linger a little longer and recover with a large cup of strong Dominican coffee. With little rain and perfect beach weather all year round, the perfect time to take a holiday in Punta Cana is right now.
