If you are planning a Punta Cana vacation with a loved one as a romantic getaway or to celebrate an engagement, marriage or anniversary, you will want to know about the host of romantic things to do in this enchanting tropical paradise.
Make Your Stay Romantic
One thing you might consider before you visit Punta Cana is whether to stay at an adults-only resort. Providing an ambiance that is quieter and more conducive to romance, a resort of this type is probably going to be your best choice.
With nothing against kids, an idyllic vacation for romance does not include little people running around the pool, splashing and screaming. Set the stage by choosing a resort that is romance-friendly.
Adults Only Options
With some of the adults-only resorts as being all-inclusive and upscale, you won’t have to worry about budgeting for fun, water activities, and dining. A few of the resorts that cater to romantic couples and honeymooners include:
- Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana
- Sanctuary Cap Cana
- Portblue Le Sivory Punta Cana
- Breathless Punta Cana Resort and Spa
Secrets Royal Beach is adults-only but a bit more for those who love a party. Nightly entertainment and bars make it a great destination for those who love celebration as well as romance. Unwind on the lazy river, in the three pools or at the spa.
Playa Hotels offers Sanctuary Cap Cana for those who love the idea of an adults-only resort that resembles a Spanish castle town. Not far from the airport, you will relax and enjoy the beauty of its decoration as well as its spa and pools. Dine at its fine restaurants.
Breathless Resort & Spa is a luxurious all-inclusive that takes care of everything from the food to the alcohol. Included in the fun are watersports and pool parties with a theme. The property has 750 suites, and privacy is still possible.
Romance Happens

You might be thinking of leaving your resort for the day to head out to a secluded beach with your honey. There are several trips that you can take; although you may be with a group at some points, some lovely spots offer a setting for romance.
- Samana Day Trip Through Miches
- Saona Island
- Macao Beach
The Samana day trip through Miches takes you to Samana, with stops at the beautiful Limon Waterfall. Get ready for an adventure as your nine-hour trip involves travel by land and water. You might even get to ride horses through a beautiful tropical forest. The day promises to be filled with magical memories.
Saona Island is reached by boat and is the setting where the movie, Blue Lagoon, was filmed. A speedboat takes you out to the island where you will stop in a natural pool of transparent water that is waist deep.
Surrounded by starfish, you’ll enjoy the magical relaxation of nature. Wade or swim at Isla Saona; you can also visit the open bar, lounge on the beach, eat a Dominican lunch and more — all with your sweetie. Even if you never saw Blue Lagoon, you’ll become inspired and in love with the stunning beauty of Saona Island.
A secluded beach awaits you both as you and your love lounge the white sands of Macao Beach, sheltered by idyllic coconut palms. Macao Beach also offers dune buggy rides and is the ideal place for either a quiet afternoon or a fun water adventure. Stunning views and a drive of only 20 minutes make this a great romantic escape.
Escapes
One tip for a great stay; when you go outside the resort, do not drink the tap water. For your health and comfort, drink only bottled water on your adventures.
Get lost in the beauty of nature as you escape to Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park, a reserve that is home to birds, fauna and an amazing Dominican flora. You’ll fall in love with its ten lagoons, called ‘eyes’ because of their oval shape by the Tainos.
Take a dip in the crystal water or hike the surrounding beauty. This is the ideal setting for both romantic couples and nature lovers.
Horseback riding on the beach at Rais Ranch will bring you adventure as well as romance. You can cool off in the water as well as enjoy the delightful views and animals that will be your guides.
These are just some of the romantic things to do on your Punta Cana vacation getaway or honeymoon. Tropical sparkling sands, breathtaking sunsets, and clear quiet waters provide a setting for unforgettable memories and magic in the Dominican Republic.
