Apartments for rent in Bávaro, Punta Cana

What Bávaro is like

Bávaro is the largest and busiest part of the Verón-Punta Cana district. Its coastline is lined with all-inclusive hotels and public beaches, and behind them have grown condo complexes, villa communities, shopping plazas and the services that year-round residents need.

Los Corales and El Cortecito are the most walkable areas, with restaurants, shops and the beach a few steps away. Around the Cocotal golf course, the villa and condo communities are quieter.

Who it suits

People who want the beach and everyday services close together: foreign residents, Dominican families working in tourism, and buyers renting to holidaymakers. It is the part of Punta Cana with the most going on outside the resorts.

Getting around

The Boulevard Turístico del Este links Bávaro with Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), about 20 km away: allow 25 to 30 minutes depending on where you start. The same road leads to Verón, Cap Cana and the Coral highway towards La Romana and Santo Domingo.

What to check

How close the beach really is: “near the beach” can mean across the street or a ten-minute drive. In complexes with holiday rentals, ask for the house rules, the maintenance fee and whether it covers security, gardening and the pool. On ground-floor units, check drainage after heavy rain.
