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

• Punta Cana Paradise: On the glorious, palm-fringed white sands of the Dominican Republic’s renowned Punta Cana, stands Bakour Punta Cana Suites. The resort's expansive free-form pool wends its way towards the sea, flanked by swaying palm trees and pristine white suites decked out in five-star bliss. Embrace the flavours and spirit of the island nation from the comfort of your hotel, where laid-back leisure is the order of the day.

• Lush waterfront luxury: From the private stretch of beach to the shimmering turquoise pool, there’s no shortage of serene waters by which to luxuriate and indulge. Sink your toes in the sand and grab a beach lounger, and ideally a tropical cocktail from the beach bar, too. You can stay on top of your fitness goals in the sleek gym, but remember to take it easy – out on the poolside solarium, you’ll find a classic Caribbean cocktail bar, and hammocks to sway the time away.

• Sip, taste and dance: Your resort’s buffet restaurant is colourful and contemporary, just the spot to enjoy fresh, flavourful, international cuisine, with showcooking stations for extra flair. The beach club frames dreamy ocean views, with rope swings for bar stools and your holiday drink order coming right up. There’s also an Italian restaurant and a modern Asian eatery if you want to mix things up. Look forward to live music, dance classes and organised fun for all the family.
