Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has announced that it will open its first property in the Dominican Republic in 2029. 

Rosewood Punta Cana, developed in partnership with Grupo Puntacana, will mark a significant addition to Rosewood’s global portfolio and its growing Caribbean collection.

Occupying 50 acres of prime real estate, including 400m of untouched beachfront, Rosewood Punta Cana will envelop guests in a relaxing landscape. With design that channels the local landscape and legacy as inspiration, the property will comprise 78 spacious suites, including several overwater villas.

Eight distinct F&B venues will include the likes of a specialty restaurant, destination bar and a beach grill. Asaya, Rosewood’s integrative wellness concept, will support guests’ holistic health and wellbeing through an expansive offer of six treatment rooms, a hair and nail salon, a dedicated retail space, a juice bar, an outdoor swimming pool and a fitness studio. The property will also feature a fully serviced beach and an outdoor sports facility, as well as indoor and outdoor event spaces.

Owing to its location within the Puntacana Resort, a 15,000-acre master-planned community comprising luxury residences, resorts, retail and recreational facilities, Rosewood Punta Cana will also offer further amenities to guests, ranging from a golf course and a tennis centre envisioned by Oscar de la Renta, to an equestrian centre and an ecological reserve.  

“The Dominican Republic is a tropical paradise that celebrates the diversity of Caribbean culture,” says Radha Arora, President of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. “Long renowned for its beautiful beaches, world-class golf courses, and high-end residences and resorts, we are eager to bring Rosewood’s unique approach to the island and set a new benchmark for luxury hospitality in the region.”

Frank Elias Rainieri Kuret, CEO of Grupo Puntacana, adds: “As we embark on this exciting partnership with Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, and the development of Rosewood Punta Cana, we are reinforcing our shared vision to position the Dominican Republic as a premier luxury destination for the world’s most discerning travellers. This collaboration represents a commitment to excellence, bringing world-class service and unparalleled experiences to the region. We are proud to work with Rosewood in creating a sanctuary where every detail reflects the essence of sophisticated luxury, while embracing the beauty and spirit of our beloved country.”
