Luxury Villa Rentals in the Dominican Republic

Only in Punta Cana for now, all 39 of them. Thirty-one are in Puntacana Resort and Club, spread across Tortuga Bay, Hacienda, Corales, La Cana and other streets of the resort. Seven are a little further south in Cap Cana, near the marina, and one is north of the airport, in Bávaro. Four or five bedrooms is typical. Eight villas have eight bedrooms or more.

Into Punta Cana International Airport. It's right next to Puntacana Resort and Club, and most villas there are around 10 minutes from the terminal by car. Cap Cana is further south, around 15 to 20 minutes. There are direct flights from North America and Europe. Send us your flight times and we'll tell you what to expect on the day.

If you want it dry, December to April. Everyone else knows that too, so Christmas, New Year and Easter go early. We have a soft spot for May. The sea's warm, showers tend to pass quickly, and there's more room on the sand. Late summer and autumn are wetter. That's the middle of hurricane season.

Plan for it, don't worry about it. Officially the Atlantic season is 1 June to 30 November. The National Hurricane Center puts the peak around 10 September, with most storms between mid-August and mid-October. Lots of weeks go by with nothing. Travelling then? Watch the forecast, get travel insurance, and ask us what each villa's terms say.

Tell us your dates, how many of you there are, and what the week's for: golf, the beach, a big birthday. One person on our team checks which villas are free and talks you through them. No checkout page. Once you've picked, we agree the terms with you directly and stay in touch until you fly home.
