Bakour Punta Cana Suites, Punta Cana, La Altagracia Province, Dominican Republic

Punta Cana is revered by locals and travellers alike as a little piece of paradise, showcasing everything there is to love about Dominican nature and culture. You’re perfectly placed to set out on snorkelling and diving expeditions. Just across from your hotel is the Seaquarium Underwater Walking site, where – hooked up to a breathing mask – you can walk through crystal clear waters with rays, sealions, colourful fish and even friendly reef sharks. Glide across the surface on a catamaran cruise, and once back on land, a wealth of flavour awaits. Sample local rum, coffee and cigars, and when night falls, there’s no shortage of lively merengue and bachata dance clubs.
