Bávaro · 17 hotels

Punta Cana's longest beach and its biggest cluster of all-inclusive resorts. Nearby is El Cortecito, the closest thing to a walkable area, with shops, restaurants and bars. The beach faces east, so it gets sargassum in season.

Cap Cana · 7 hotels

Uvero Alto · 6 hotels

The northernmost and most remote area: new luxury resorts, several of them adults-only, and a less developed coastline. It's for making the resort the center of your trip; excursions are farther away.

Cabeza de Toro · 2 hotels
