Curator’s statement
Punta Cana can be the perfect Caribbean escape to disconnect and relax. With miles of private tranquil beaches lined with soft white sand – you'll be sure to get lost in the crystal-like waters, warm sun and kind locals. It’s the perfect place to indulge in an all-inclusive vacation and take advantage of its perks. And yet, there are still plenty of options to venture out of the resorts and meet the local life on the island.

A note from Oluwaseyi
Take a trip out to Isla Saona. It is a great boat ride to enjoy this paradisiacal island's water and pristine beaches. Next, the Montaña Redonda in Miches offers a hilly landscape with mountain views for a change from the seaside.
