Picture perfect soft white sand, statuesque coconut trees and turquoise waters – Punta Cana’s beaches rival the world’s best, let alone its Caribbean cousins.

Make no mistake, Punta Cana is unashamedly a tourist destination.

The shoreline of Bávaro is fringed with a huge choice of stylish all-inclusive resorts, characterized by epic pools, swim-up bars, beach-based four-poster sun-beds and luxurious interiors.
