Your guide to Bavaro, Dominican Rep - Punta Cana

"Fringed by ivory sands and swaying palms, Bavaro showcases the best of the Dominican Republic's spectacular coastline."

Set on the eastern tip of the island, the journey there takes you through winding country roads bordered by sugarcane fields and mangrove thickets. With all the hotels set on the silvery sand, it’s Bavaro Beach that takes centre stage here. The moment you get an eyeful of that amazing 15-mile-long white sand beach and brilliant blue sea you’ll know you’ve found a little corner of holiday heaven. This is the place to come if you’re looking to cocoon yourself in pin-drop peace and quiet. It’s simple, it’s unspoilt and it’s so relaxing you’ll never want to leave. Days here revolve mostly around sunbathing on that spectacular beach, and cooling off with a range of watersports. Come sundown, it’s a relatively low key affair kept mainly to the hotels. But if you are venturing out and about, you can spot the handful of popular hangouts a mile off. In essence, though, Bavaro, is a place to sit back, feel the warmth of the Caribbean sun and enjoy a generous dose of the famous Dominican ‘R & R’ - rum and relaxation.
