W Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of over 30 hotel brands, Grupo Puntacana, and MAC Hotels today announced the grand opening of W Punta Cana, Adult All-Inclusive, marking a significant milestone for W Hotels as the brand’s first adult all-inclusive location worldwide.

Inspired by the rich history and natural beauty of the Dominican Republic, W Punta Cana features a contemporary design which was conceived by Zanobia Arquitectura, a Spain-based firm known for its innovative designs and commitment to sustainability. The resort seamlessly integrates local elements with the brand’s signature style. Design elements, inspired by the region’s colonial heritage and tobacco plantations, are complemented by natural materials that evoke the charm of cobblestone streets. The aesthetic motifs inspired by larimar, the national stone, alongside décor influenced by native fauna – such as dragonflies and colorful seashells – create a harmonious design at W Punta Cana.

“W Punta Cana marks a bold and exciting evolution for W Hotels as the brand enters the all-inclusive space with the same tuned-in spirit and magnetic energy that defines the brand. This isn’t just another resort – it’s the brand reimagining the concept entirely, where everything from elevated dining to immersive experiences reserved for adults only are thoughtfully curated and included,” says George Fleck, senior vice-president and brand leader, W Hotels.

Brian King, president of Marriott International, Caribbean and Latin America, commented: “W Hotels has been breaking the mold since 1998 – and we’re just getting started. Now, we’re dialing up the bold and bringing our iconic edge to the Dominican Republic with the debut of W Punta Cana. Tucked between lush jungle and the electric blues of the Caribbean Sea, W Punta Cana is everything W Hotels is known for – daring design, unexpected moments, and a totally new spin on all-inclusive luxury. This isn’t just a resort – it’s a vibe, a movement, a new way to travel. I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve created and the incredible local community and partners who helped make it happen. We’re not following trends – we’re creating them.”

Following W Punta Cana, two additional W Hotels all-inclusive properties are set to open in Corasol Playa del Carmen and Costa Mujeres in 2028 and 2029, respectively.
