Represented by: Frank Rainieri
Project: PUNTACANA Resort & Club
Location: Punta Cana
Area of Development: 58,000,000+ m² (approx. 15,000 acres)

PUNTACANA Resort & Club is a low density development on 15,000 acres on the Caribbean coast of the Dominican Republic boasting five miles of some of the world’s most sought-after beaches. A lush, natural environment meticulously preserved amid a haven of luxury and sophistication. The inviting climate and the ever-present trade winds culminate in a Caribbean paradise distinguished and enriched by uniquely Dominican hospitality and culture.

In 1969, a group of American investors headed by Theodore Kheel acquired a 58-million square meter lot of pure jungle and 5 seashore miles of exotic white-sand beaches on the east coast of the Dominican Republic. Joining them in 1971 was a group of local investors led by entrepreneur Frank R. Rainieri who had the vision to make use of the lot for tourism development. In 1997, Oscar de la Renta and Julio Iglesias also made PUNTACANA Resort & Club their home and became a part of this venture.

The realities of PUNTACANA Resort & Club have exceeded the dreams of the community’s founders. Perhaps the most distinct characteristics of PUNTACANA Resort & Club lie in its origins. The community’s founders had the vision to build the airport, and in the process created a leading Caribbean destination. Today, Punta Cana International Airport is the third busiest in the Caribbean and a haven of VIP treatment for PUNTACANA Resort & Club homeowners. They developed signature amenities including world championship, oceanfront golf courses designed by masters PB Dye and Tom Fazio with a third PB Dye course on the way. They created the 35-room Tortuga Bay recognized by Leading Hotels of the World and a AAA 5 Diamond Award winner, and added the world’s premier spa and wellness center, Six Senses Spa, exquisite dining, sport fishing, horseback riding, scuba diving, tennis, a kids club and more.

Opportunities for home ownership at PUNTACANA Resort & Club are extraordinary. Corales is a the newest of six distinct neighborhoods that make up The PUNTACANA Estates. Corales features oceanfront homesites and breathtaking views of the new, private Tom Fazio golf course. Other neighborhoods include Playa Serena, Arrecife, Hacienda, Tortuga and Marina.

Nature, color and light take center stage at The PUNTACANA Estates. The architecture of PUNTACANA Resort & Club is unmistakable. Indigenous materials are utilized in the creation of exciting spaces that aspire to a higher aesthetic. Indoor-outdoor living melds under roof. And while exteriors embrace colonial and Caribbean architectural influences uniformly, owners are free to express their unique notion of what paradise can be.
