Marking a significant milestone, W Hotels announces the highly anticipated opening of W Punta Cana– the brand’s first all-inclusive location worldwide. Set along the serene shores of the Dominican Republic, the adults-only destination channels the bold, evolved energy of W Hotels through a new lens of all-inclusive luxury – where differentiated dining, dynamic design, and immersive programming invite guests to escape convention and experience the brand’s next chapter.
“W Punta Cana marks a bold and exciting evolution for W Hotels as the brand enters the all-inclusive space with the same tuned-in spirit and magnetic energy that defines the brand. This isn’t just another resort – it’s the brand reimagining the concept entirely, where everything from elevated dining to immersive experiences reserved for adults only are thoughtfully curated and included,” says George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Brand Leader, W Hotels.
Nestled between Río Maimón Natural Park and Play Escondida, W Punta Cana is surrounded by sweeping nature and pristine beaches at every angle- which plays a part in the overall design and feel of the property. The resort’s public areas, surrounded by lush, meticulously curated landscaping, lead guests through winding, jungle-like paths adorned exclusively with endemic flora- reflecting the resort’s deep commitment to sustainability.
“W Hotels has been breaking the mold since 1998 – and we’re just getting started. Now, we’re dialing up the bold and bringing our iconic edge to the Dominican Republic with the debut of W Punta Cana,” said Brian King, President of Marriott International, Caribbean and Latin America. “Tucked between lush jungle and the electric blues of the Caribbean Sea, W Punta Cana is everything W Hotels is known for – daring design, unexpected moments, and a totally new spin on all-inclusive luxury.”
A contemporary design conceived by Zanobia Arquitectura, a Spain-based firm known for its innovative designs and commitment to sustainability, W Punta Cana seamlessly integrates the rich history and natural beauty of the Dominican Republic throughout its spaces. Design elements, inspired by the region’s colonial heritage and tobacco plantations, are complemented by natural materials, vivid Caribbean colors, and décor influenced by native fauna – such as dragonflies and colorful seashells.
The resort features 340 stylishly appointed guest rooms and suites, each starting at a spacious 700 square feet. Every room includes a bathtub and exclusively features king-size bed configurations, including the two-bed suites and the Oasis Mega Suites. This unique feature on the island offers expansive space, coupled with breathtaking ocean views, complemented by world-class amenities and services including 24-hour in-room dining, signature maxi bar with savory and sweet snacks, and refreshing beverages. Additionally, 46 suites feature exclusive swim-up pools, including select suites with full-sized private pools, further elevating the overall guest experience.
“At W Punta Cana, we set out to create a destination that’s as rich in cultural connection as it is in world-class amenities,” said Omar Rivera, General Manager, W Punta Cana. “This is a space for the curious, the creative, and the culturally connected. Every corner of the resort invites guests to explore, engage, and experience the Dominican Republic in a way that’s intriguing, elevated, and often unexpected.”
Deeply rooted in local traditions, the AWAY Spa is a welcoming refuge that blends local products and restorative rituals in their 10 treatment rooms. Guests can unwind in the steam room, Himalayan salt room, sauna, or the beautiful indoor pool. The spa is complemented by a full-service beauty salon and a state-of-the-art, 1,500-square-foot signature FIT gym, which is accessible 24 hours a day. From sunrise yoga and revitalizing rituals, wellness extends beyond the spa with outdoor experiences that capture the spirit of Punta Cana.
Entertainment is the heart and soul of the property – designed to create an authentic social hub through cultural storytelling. From high-energy dance parties and artist residencies to wellness-focused sound sessions and culturally immersive events – each guest has the freedom to experience the resort on their own terms. The live music line-up, curated by the brand’s Music Director of the Caribbean and Latin America, Sinego, in collaboration with Dominican-based electronic music collective Chinese Laundry, blends global influence with local soul. Guests can immerse themselves in innovative experiences such as DJ-led sound baths, beachside silent discos, curated vinyl libraries, and nightly rooftop sessions.
The resort features a 400-meter beachfront paired with the brand’s signature WET Deck, an 80-meter infinity pool – larger than an Olympic-size pool – and a Chill Pool with a swim-up bar. For those looking to explore the island and want a little more adventure, guests can embark on private tours of Punta Cana, explore national parks, or charter private boats and yachts for diving and snorkeling around the island – all organized through the W Insiders and Whatever/Whenever team at W Punta Cana.
Aimed to create shared experiences, W Punta Cana features 12 distinct restaurants, bars, and lounges, that embody the brand’s gastronomic philosophy. Guests can explore a variety of tastes – from multicultural and Asian to Dominican and Caribbean flavors – all within a single destination.
Trade Market offers an interactive dining experience, a food hall concept unique to the island with live-action stations inspired by global street food and fueled by fresh, local ingredients. At Scena, an elegant, chef-driven concept reimagines contemporary Dominican and Caribbean-inspired cuisines and flavors in an elevated setting. Additional highlights include Noodle Bar, serving Pan Asian street fare, and Sensazioni, a versatile bar and events theater that adapts to the hotel’s dynamic atmosphere.
Signature venues include Taproom, a modern reinterpretation of a traditional microbrewery and beer hall, and Taman Beach Club, the resort’s social hub, seamlessly blending the energy of the WET Deck with the laid-back vibe of the shoreline. Living Room Bar crafts artful cocktails with a Dominican twist, highlighting house-made infusions and locally inspired ingredients. For a more intimate experience, the 33 1/3 Speakeasy offers an exclusive hideaway where vinyl records set the tone.
