If you have already booked your direct flight to Punta Cana from Madrid, it is only normal that you now wonder what the best options are with regard to accommodation. In this destination, not only are there different areas to stay in, such as Playa Bávaro, Arena Gorda, Cap Cana or El Cortecito, but you have lots to choose from, such as all-inclusive hotels, lodgings in which only breakfast is offered, cheaper private apartments and even backpacker hostels. If you want to know where to stay in Punta Cana to enjoy the best experience, at World2Fly we are here to help you! 

When looking for a place to stay in Punta Cana, the first thing to bear in mind is that there are different areas, but also multiple options regarding the type of accommodation available. If distances are something that concerns you, you can rest easy! They are not excessively large in this beautiful place, and unless you want to go on hikes, you can move around on foot without any problem.  

But first things first! Each area has its own characteristics, but that does not mean that some are better than others. They simply adapt to the different needs of each traveller. Therefore, when choosing where to stay, don't forget to think about what your travel plans are!  

Playa Bávaro is probably the best beach in Punta Cana, and one of the best known in the world. It is located in the Verón Punta Cana district, and its tourist appeal is such that it has a wide variety of hotels and leisure options. We can assure you that you won't get bored! If you're craving to stay in an idyllic postcard setting, all you need to do is find the perfect hotel for you! 

Arena Gorda is the second most important beach of Punta Cana and is where the main all-inclusive hotel chains are located. It’s also here that you'll find the most popular nightclubs of Punta Cana: Pacha and Wave Disco. But there's much more at Arena Gorda! Off its coast and visible from the beach is the famous Astron shipwreck, a motor ship destined to Cuba that was wrecked in a storm in 1978. If you enjoy diving, get ready for amazing sights! The Astron shipwreck makes for a unique spectacle and an exciting dive for scuba divers. 

If you're more of a traveller in search of exclusivity and remote areas, Cap Cana is surely what you're looking for! Renowned for its luxurious and opulent ambience, the prices in this area are higher than in others. Nonetheless, it is perfectly well connected with all points of interest in Punta Cana and is near beautiful beaches such as Caletón or Juanillo. 

On the other hand, if calmness is what you want for your holidays, Uvero Alto or Macao are exceptional places in which to sit back and unwind, away from any issues. The possibilities are so many that you'll find it hard to choose! 

Do you travel lightly with only a backpack and don’t want to spend excessively in hotels? Then we have the best place to stay in Punta Cana for you! El Cortecito is located north of Playa Bávaro and its beaches have nothing to envy from the rest. But there's much more than white sand, palm trees and transparent waters in this area…. It's also a beach where the energy picks up at night! 

What can you expect? Many bars and restaurants, among which Captain Cook, one of the best-known restaurants in Punta Cana stands out, in addition to numerous pizzerias, nightclubs, shops, and even a market! There is no better place to purchase your souvenirs and local crafts. Among these, Taíno paintings are a must-see. These are works of art made by the indigenous people of the area, increasingly in demand by tourists. Here you’ll find everything you could wish for to enjoy a dynamic and lively trip! 

As for accommodation, you will also find great all-inclusive tourist resorts! But its appeal for backpackers is that in addition to these, there are a multitude of hotels and hostels with more flexible options that will allow you to explore the place and, at the same time, make the most of your budget. The options are almost endless, so book your flights with World2Fly now and discover Punta Cana!
