Whether you’re travelling with kids and need plenty of space, or if you want to party or relax with your significant other, the choice of accommodation is extensive. Book via Culture Trip and you can enjoy affordable luxury or high-end-exclusive – not to mention everything in between.

The swanky Sanctuary Cap Cana is an exclusive adults-only resort that exudes a village-like vibe. Its focus is wellness, so you can expect an impressive number of pools. A focal point is the Instagram-worthy Castle Tower, with its jutting turrets and moat leading to the subterranean spa. Here you’ll find waterfalls and a half-moon pool, as well as a spectrum of treatments and a fresh juice bar. When it’s time to eat, you’re spoilt for choice: the multiple restaurants, covered by the all-inclusive rate, serve steak, seafood, Chinese and Italian – for the most discerning palate.

This place might be small, but it’s certainly perfectly formed: a secluded 96-room getaway, just an hour’s drive from the airport along a bumpy dirt road. Check in and you’ll agree – this place feels a million miles from Punta Cana’s mega-resorts. The welcome is warm – expect to be greeted with a bottle of local rum – and all rooms are suites, all the better for their private plunge pools. The adjacent white-sand beach is uncrowded – perfect for romantic sunset walks and water sports, and you can even saddle up for a complimentary horse ride.

Like living it large? Here you’ve got a property that’s super-popular with the party crowd. There’s a great nightlife scene with poolside DJs, all kinds of sporty activities and a kaleidoscope of places to eat, whether you like Mexican, tapas, Japanese, Brazilian, Italian, Mediterranean, pan-Asian or surf and turf. And if you just want to chill? Every room has a balcony tub for ultimate indulgence, and the white-sand beach is minutes away.

As you might have guessed, no kids are allowed at the adults-only Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana, so the amenities are immaculate and there are plenty of secluded spots for romance in the grounds, shaded by palm trees. The resort has pride of place on a stunning stretch of beach, with plenty of lounge chairs and thatched umbrellas. There are three impressive pools – one meanders through the grounds like a lazy river, and you can take advantage of a free introductory scuba class before heading out to marvel at the marine life up close.
