Punta Cana, Dominican Republic Marriott International’s W Hotels has officially entered the all-inclusive arena with the grand opening of W Punta Cana, Adult All-Inclusive, a new resort that redefines luxury hospitality for the modern traveller. This marks a significant milestone for the brand, known for its daring design and magnetic energy, as it debuts its first-ever adults-only, all-inclusive property.
A New Chapter for W Hotels
Set along the shores of Uvero Alto, W Punta Cana channels the brand’s signature style through a fresh lens of immersive, all-inclusive luxury. The resort features 340 spacious guest rooms and suites, each starting at 700 square feet and exclusively outfitted with king-size beds and bathtubs, including the two-bed suites and Oasis Mega Suites. Forty-six suites offer swim-up access, with select accommodations boasting full-sized private pools, elevating the guest experience to new heights.
“W Punta Cana marks a bold and exciting evolution for W Hotels,” said George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Brand Leader. “This isn’t just another resort, it’s the brand reimagining the concept entirely, where everything from elevated dining to immersive experiences reserved for adults only are thoughtfully curated and included”.
Culinary Innovation Meets Caribbean Soul
The resort offers 12 restaurants, bars, and lounges, delivering a boundary-pushing culinary journey that spans Dominican, Caribbean, Asian, and global street food. Highlights include:
- Trade Market: A live-action food hall concept inspired by global street fare
- Taproom: A microbrewery and beer hall
- Living Room Bar: Curated cocktails with Dominican flair
- 33 1/3 Speakeasy: A vinyl-themed hideaway with spontaneous mixology
Wellness, Culture, and Connection
W Punta Cana’s AWAY Spa features 10 treatment rooms and a wellness menu inspired by local healing traditions, including turmeric, arnica, and moringa seed oil. Guests can also enjoy a Himalayan salt room, steam room, sauna, and indoor pool. The FIT gym, open 24/7, complements the resort’s wellness offerings.
Entertainment is curated by Sinego, W Hotels’ Music Director for the Caribbean and Latin America, in collaboration with Dominican electronic collective Chinese Laundry. Guests can expect DJ-led sound baths, rooftop vinyl sessions, and beachside silent discos that blend global influence with local soul.
Design That Reflects Place
Designed by Zanobia Arquitectura, the resort’s low-density layout integrates endemic flora and Caribbean-inspired motifs, including larimar tones and colonial textures. The 80-meter WET Deck and 400-meter beachfront offer lively social spaces, while the Chill Pool provides a serene escape with a swim-up bar and sunbeds.
Events and Exploration
With 14,000 square feet of flexible event space, including a 5,380-square-foot ballroom and six breakout rooms, W Punta Cana is primed for creative gatherings. The W Insiders and Whatever/Whenever team curate bespoke excursions, from yacht charters to hidden beach tours, ensuring every stay is story-worthy.
“Tucked between lush jungle and the electric blues of the Caribbean Sea, W Punta Cana is everything W Hotels is known for unexpected moments, and a totally new spin on all-inclusive luxury,” said Brian King, President of Marriott International, Caribbean and Latin America.
W Punta Cana signals a bold new direction for W Hotels, expanding its footprint beyond urban hotspots and into the heart of the Caribbean’s luxury travel scene. It’s not just a resort, it’s a movement, a mood, and a masterclass in modern hospitality.
