Catalonia Royal Bavaro, Punta Cana

The only thing separating the Catalonia Royal Bavaro from an ice-white stretch of sand is a forest of palm trees. With a private beach, a first-class pool scene and a great range of restaurants, this adult-exclusive hotel covers all bases. You also get an access-all-areas pass to the neighbouring sister hotel. There are all sorts of luxurious rooms on the cards here – from big suites with private pools to junior suites with king-size beds. And they all have balconies or terraces with linen hammocks.
