5 Unique Islands to Add to Your Vacay Bucket List
Dominican Daydreams
On the southeast side of the island where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean, you will find Cap Cana, Dominican Republic, a lavish, all-inclusive resort enclave in the town of Punta Cana.
Cap Cana is a gated resort region with the most stunning turquoise water along miles of white-sand beaches and upscale, all-inclusive resorts. This region is only a quick 20-minute ride from Punta Cana International Airport and is known as one of the safest locales in the DR.
These opulent resorts not only provide all meals and libations but also a vast array of activities. Sail a mini-catamaran in the pristine waters off the beach at the Hyatt Zilara. Grab a passion fruit mojito at the swim up bar, or try an AquaCycle class at the beachfront infinity pool. The Zilara provides live music and entertainment as well as daily activities like archery on the beach, yoga, or to get those feet moving, a salsa dance class. For the adventure seeking, hop over to one of the zip lining outfitters where you can behold the unique ecology of the DR from the tree tops or swim in a hidden cenote at Scape Park.
Now with a direct flight to Punta Cana from Austin, it’s even easier to indulge in luxury that, after the last two years, is long overdue.
