The upcoming Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana resort, promising luxury and sustainability.
Palace Resorts is launching Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana in the Bávaro area, set to be the largest oceanfront resort in the Dominican Republic. Spanning 297 acres, it will feature 2,171 guest rooms, 19 restaurants, and an eco-signature golf course. The resort emphasizes sustainability with preserved natural vegetation and a commitment to renewable energy. With a $1.5 billion investment, it is expected to create 5,700 jobs and establish a community for hospitality workers. Bookings will open in September 2025, ahead of its anticipated completion in early 2026.
Palace Resorts is set to open its newest luxury destination, Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana, in spring 2026, marking the debut of its first property in the Dominican Republic. Located on a sprawling 297-acre beachfront site in the Bávaro area, this resort is poised to become the largest oceanfront resort in the country, featuring 2,171 guest rooms, with 66% offering direct ocean views.
The construction of this massive endeavor is well underway, with structural completion of two 18-story towers and a central clubhouse already achieved. Currently, efforts are focused on the interior installations, mechanical systems, and final finishing details, paving the way for an anticipated completion.
Upon its opening, Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana will cater to over 5,000 daily visitors and boast an extensive array of amenities, including 19 restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, various guest room types, multiple entertainment facilities, and several pools. The resort will also host a Greg Norman-designed “eco-signature” golf course, though the exact date of its opening has not yet been announced.
In an effort to enhance its environmental commitment, the resort features a vertical design that preserves over 228,000 square meters of natural vegetation, thus minimizing its ecological footprint. This design not only enhances the sustainability of the resort but also maintains green space for guests to enjoy. Additionally, a 400-meter mangrove protection zone has been incorporated into the site plan.
To facilitate guest access to the beach, elevated pathways are being constructed, ensuring a seamless connection between accommodations and the oceanfront. The development aims to operate entirely on renewable energy sources from solar and wind by 2027, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability.
The project is backed by a significant $1.5 billion investment and is expected to create approximately 5,700 direct jobs, contributing positively to the local economy. Furthermore, the resort plans to establish a community known as Ciudad Palace for hospitality workers, which will include 1,800 apartments, schools, and parks to address the local housing issues.
Individuals interested in staying at this luxurious resort will be able to make specific bookings starting on September 1, 2025. Recruitment for staff will begin three months prior to the opening date, scheduled for early 2026, allowing ample time to hire the necessary workforce for successful operations.
Palace Resorts, which operates ten all-inclusive resorts throughout Mexico and manages Moon Palace Jamaica in Ocho Rios, continues to expand its international presence with this innovative venture. The Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana aims to provide guests with an unparalleled vacation experience while prioritizing sustainability and community development.
