Punta Cana, a haven of white sand beaches and swaying palms, epitomises the essence of the Caribbean. Situated on the eastern coast of the Dominican Republic, this idyllic retreat is famed for its luxurious resorts, pristine coastline, and year-round sunshine. Beyond the well-trodden beaches, the region offers a wealth of cultural and natural wonders waiting to be explored.

Must-sees:

• Bavaro Beach - A postcard-perfect stretch of soft, white sand, ideal for sunbathing or snorkelling in tranquil waters.

• Altos de Chavón - A replica 16th-century Mediterranean village perched above the Chavón River, home to art galleries, a cultural centre, and a stunning amphitheatre.

Culinary culture:

Punta Cana’s food scene blends indigenous Taíno influences with Spanish, African, and Caribbean traditions. Fresh seafood dominates menus, with dishes like mofongo de camarones (garlic mashed plantains with shrimp) and pescado con coco (fish in coconut sauce) showcasing the island’s flavours. Local markets brim with tropical fruits, while beachfront shacks serve crisp tostones and the Dominican staple, La Bandera – a hearty plate of rice, beans, and meat.

The ideal time to visit is from December to April, when the weather is warm and dry. Transport is best arranged via private transfers or rental cars, as public transport is limited. Be mindful that while resort areas are well-developed, smaller villages retain a more traditional pace of life, offering a glimpse into the island’s authentic charm.
