Punta Cana is world-famous for its 11 beautiful beaches stretching along the east coast of the Dominican Republic. But, while 11 may sound like a lot, the exploding popularity of Punta Cana since the relaxation of worldwide Covid-19 restrictions means these beaches are quickly becoming crowded.
Thankfully, many resorts have their own private areas of the beach available only to guests. Meaning that worries about densely packed days at the beach are far from the minds of visitors to these outstanding resorts. The following are some of the best resorts with private beaches, confirmed by the stellar reviews of previous guests.
