Beach Hotel · Adult Only
JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar, a striking five-star all-inclusive on Punta Cana's legendary Playa Bávaro, channels Greco-Roman grandeur through Mexican architect Fernando Quirarte's vision, where marble columns, lush gardens, and a full-size sailboat bar floating in a central lake turn every stay into a mythical Caribbean chapter.
The 272 suites embrace refined escape with air conditioning, flat-screen televisions, DVD players, iPod docking stations for personal soundtracks, minibars, and bathrooms stocked with premium toiletries, deep tubs, hairdryers, and rain showers. Private balconies overlook sea sparkle or garden calm, giving couples a perch for sunrise yoga or friends space to plan the next reef dive in an eco-conscious space ditching single-use plastics via the Wave of Change initiative.
Seven dining venues span flavours: Mediterranean plates with local lobster, Asian fusion under palm roofs, Italian pastas twirled al dente, and a breakfast buffet loaded with fresh guanábana and made-to-order crepes. The sailboat bar—moored in the lake—pours artisanal rum cocktails and wines against sunset reflections, while other bars keep the pours flowing poolside or beachfront.
Two shimmering pools wind through the gardens for all-day dips, Spa Sensations layers hydrotherapy circuits and massages with island botanicals, and the P.B. Dye-designed 18-hole golf course challenges with ocean breezes. The concierge books catamaran sails to Dolphin Island Park 6 kilometres away or sunset cruises from Cap Cana Marina 25 kilometres down the coast.
A quick 19-kilometre transfer from Punta Cana International Airport with direct beachfront on one of the Dominican Republic's prime stretches, JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar plants you at the intersection of ancient inspiration and modern east-coast energy—reefs, fairways, and sustainable luxury all within easy reach.
