Punta Cana

Why go to Punta Cana

Punta Cana in Dominican Republic has built its reputation on long lunches that drift into the evening and watersports rented by the hour right off the sand — the kind of place that rewards slowing down rather than rushing between sights. Miles of palm-lined beach and all-inclusive resorts.

Flights land at PUJ airport, and the pace on the ground is generally sociable — expect the day to be built around the beach, with everything else fitted in around it. Punta Cana is well suited to both a short week away and a longer, slower two-week stay.
