If you are planning your end-of-year trip to Punta Cana, this guide to the essential things to do will help you make the most of your experience.
Why is Punta Cana the best destination for an end-of-university trip?
More than 50 kilometres of fine white sand, eleven Blue Flag beaches (awarded by the European Foundation for Environmental Education since 1987) and a privileged natural environment are just some of the reasons why an end-of-study trip to Punta Cana is the best choice you can make.
This strategic location in the heart of the Caribbean offers relaxation, adventure, nightlife, gastronomy, outdoor sports and, above all, the opportunity to practise sustainable tourism. In addition, the average temperature throughout the year is 26º C. What more could you ask for?
Punta Cana has the busiest airport in the Caribbean and Central America, which is proof that it is an exceptional place. The offer is wide and designed for everyone, do you want to make the most of it?
Punta Cana all inclusive holidays
Organising an all-inclusive holiday in Punta Cana at the end of the year is a very attractive option. Offers such as the Lopesan Costa Bávaro Resort, Spa & Casino, with its new all-inclusive concept, unique in the Caribbean, will meet your needs perfectly. What’s more, this option gives you the added advantage we all dream of: rest and relaxation without having to worry about anything. You can eat and drink when you want, as much as you want, whenever you want. Even better, you have a wide range of programmed activities at your disposal to make the experience absolutely unforgettable.
Discover the natural landscapes of Punta Cana
Would you like to watch a sunset in a place as stunning as Macao Beach? During your final year trip to Punta Cana you will have the opportunity to discover this and many other natural landscapes. Located outside the tourist area, this unspoilt beach is dominated by strong winds, making it an ideal place for surfing and other sailing sports.
On the other hand, Bávaro Beach, declared one of the best beaches in the world by UNESCO, will surprise you with its great atmosphere. It is considered the jewel of Punta Cana and has a large hotel development nearby. It is therefore home to many tourist attractions.
Isla Saona is another strategic enclave that should not be missing from your list of must-sees, as it is a sustainable space where you can get close to the Caribbean fauna: manatees, dolphins, fish, turtles, whales, birds and many other species inhabit the area.
Los Haitises National Park will enchant you with its caves, grottos and surprising corners. Don’t miss this mangrove paradise, which can only be reached by boat. A must for nature lovers.
The Cenote Hoyo Azul, a unique place, is surrounded by the refreshing waters of an underground river. The Ojos Indígenas Ecological Reserve, with its beautiful subtropical forests and freshwater lagoons fed by the Yauya underground river, is another must-see destination in Punta Cana. Juanillo Beach, known for its tall palm trees, white sand and calm waters, completes the list of natural sites not to be missed in this region.
Diving in Punta Cana
Isla Catalina is undoubtedly the best place to dive or snorkel in Punta Cana. It is the arrival point for many cruise ships and is home to an immense world of coral reefs.
Another attraction of this shallow island (between 3 and 6 metres) is the wreck of the Captain Kidd and the many tropical fish that live in its waters.
The area of Las Cuevitas and El Canal or the area known as El Acuario are also highly recommended if you are interested in scuba diving. The coast of Bayahibe and Isla Saona also have a lot to offer if you want to dive in their waters.
Discover Punta Cana’s nightlife options
Nightlife is another of Punta Cana’s attractions. This exclusive destination in the Dominican Republic boasts some of the best nightclubs in the Caribbean.
The Lopesan Costa Bávaro is one of the best nightlife venues for groups: Chía Discotheque, Sport Bar, Teatro Bar, English Pub, Vinoteca Baco and Casino.
For those who are not looking for a vibrant nightlife, there are more relaxed plans and plenty of alternatives, such as going out for dinner or a drink in the area of restaurants and bars close to the hotel facilities.
