The almost paradise-like destination of Punta Cana is home to some of the best all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean, but even with so much choice, it can be difficult for those adhering to a vegan diet to find the perfect resort that caters to their requirements.
Thankfully, even in the Dominican Republic, where the local cuisine is meat heavy, some of the best resorts in the country have made a special effort to provide vegans with just as much choice and quality of food as those with other dietary preferences.
Iberostar Grand Bávaro
The Iberostar is a fantastic adults-only resort that is very vegan-friendly. There is a wealth of plant-based dishes that ensure a healthy choice night after night. As well as delicious food, the Iberostar excels as a resort in all respects, with modern and clean amenities, 3 swimming pools, and no less than 5 bars.
The reviews for this super all-inclusive are glowing, with the staff, food, amenities, and overall vibe leaving a lasting impression on past guests.
The best part is this perfect blend of luxury, and well-thought-out vegan cuisine can be booked for as little as $523 per night!

Zoetry Punta Cana
Home to some of the most distinctive resort architecture in all of the Dominican Republic, this superb all-inclusive also has no fewer than 4 in-resort restaurants. Furthermore, there’s no need to worry about which is vegan-friendly, as each one caters to plant-based dishes to ensure there’s no lack of choice for guests.
The cabana-style building and beautiful in-resort gardens are praised consistently by former guests of this luxurious destination. And the non-dairy milk alternatives provided at the coffee stations were a nice touch for one vegan visitor to the Zoetry.
Rooms at the Zoetry can be booked all-inclusive for as little as $606 per night. Although the popularity of this resort means the prices vary wildly depending on when a guest chooses to book.

Live Aqua Beach Resort
The Live Aqua is probably one of the best-known resorts in all of Punta Cana; its reputation is the envy of its competition, with the perfect blend of luxury, entertainment, and relaxation.
And the extreme care taken throughout this resort to craft the perfect vacation extends to vegan dining. From vegan classics to everyday meal alternatives like the delicious vegan pizza served in resort restaurants, Live Aqua leaves nothing to chance when it comes to pleasing guests.
Reading through the reviews would make anyone excited for a vacation here. There are far too many positive reviews to list all the reasons Live Aqua is perfect. In fact, the worst negative to be found is that “there isn’t a separate check-out desk”. When that’s the height of a resort’s criticism, you know it’s a winner.
The biggest surprise about Live Aqua is just how fairly priced it is! A room here can be snapped up for just $550 per night.

@iammadidenise Replying to @justjoie1 I didn’t record a lot of the resort/ our excursions on my phone. You’ll have to tune into my vlog (going up on Sunday) on my yt channel for more details outside of just the room. #NextLevelDish #puntacana #domincanrepublic #baecation #resorttour #roomtour #birthdaytrip #liveaqua #liveaquapuntacana #liveaquabeachresortpuntacana #puntacanaresort #placestostayinpuntacana #adultsonly #allinclusiveresort ♬ original sound – Madison Denise
