Why Canadians love Punta Cana
Punta Cana is consistently one of the top Caribbean destinations for Canadian travellers — and for good reason. The Dominican Republic's eastern tip boasts 50km of palm-lined beaches with some of the calmest, clearest turquoise waters in the Caribbean. Direct flights from major Canadian cities make it the easiest tropical escape.
The destination is dominated by world-class all-inclusive resorts that cater to every budget and travel style — families, couples, and groups all find their perfect match. Beyond the resorts, Punta Cana offers whale watching, island hopping to Saona Island, championship golf, and vibrant local culture in nearby Santo Domingo.
