The newest adults-only resort in the Dominican Republic has held its grand opening in Punta Cana, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The new all-inclusive Live Aqua Beach Resort Punta Cana, the first-ever Live Aqua resort outside of Mexico, officially debuted this week. 

Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader was on hand for the grand opening of the $120 million resort complex, which includes 347 suites. 

The resort includes signature Live Aqua brand elements, including freestanding bathtubs, specialty beds, a collection of swim-up suites and rooms with their own private pools; a Feel Harmony Spa and a state-of-the-art fitness center, among other amenities. 

The property is set around a central linear pool and a private beach. 

Dining concepts include seven eateries and eight bars, from Mediterranean and Japanese eateries to a tapas-focused sports bar. 

The project by Mexico-based hotel giant Grupo Posadas will “make possible a take-off that will boost the area economically,” Abinader said. 

The Dominican Republic is currently open for tourism.

Turks and Caicos may have only a half-dozen all-inclusive resorts, but most are located on one of the world’s best beaches and there’s something for every kind of traveler, whether that’s staying with a big brand-name resort chain, chilling out in a boutique-style hotel, or running away to a private island.

Beach House

Set behind the sand dunes on the far west end of Grace Bay Beach, this low-rise hotel resembles a private beach bungalow as much as a resort, and with just 21 rooms, you’ll never have to jostle for a seat at the beach bar or a lounger on the beach (in fact, beach chairs are preassigned by room, so you’ll have a place set out for you and waiting at the end of the boardwalk every morning of your stay). This petite hotel has a charming courtyard restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, a smoothie bar when you’re feeling healthy and a champagne and caviar bar for indulging. Plus guests can walk to the Alexandria or take a free shuttle to the Beach House for more dining options.
