Book your private transfer

Bávaro, north of Punta Cana International Airport, is the long stretch of beach with the largest group of all-inclusive resorts on this coast, from Arena Gorda to El Cortecito and Los Corales.

When you book, choose your exact resort, hotel or rental: the price and pickup time come from where you stay, not from the area name. Going somewhere else? Tell us where; some trips need a custom quote.

If your booking says “Punta Cana”, there is a good chance your resort is actually in Bávaro. The name Punta Cana is used for the whole tourist coast, but most of the large all-inclusive resorts stand on Bávaro’s beaches north of the airport, not in the small Puntacana community next to the runway.

Travelling to Bávaro

Pickup in this area
From the airport the route heads north on the Boulevard Turístico del Este, the four-lane road that links the airport with Bávaro. Bávaro is also a town of well over a hundred thousand residents, so the final stretch runs on city avenues such as Avenida Barceló and Avenida Alemania.
Returning to the airport
Your ride back to the airport is scheduled from your hotel using your departure flight, and you see the exact pickup time before you book. Choose Round trip to book the arrival and the return together.
Places in this area
Bávaro is a long coast with several neighbourhoods: Arena Gorda toward the north, the main Bávaro beach, and El Cortecito and Los Corales in the middle, where the beach is public and independent restaurants and bars are a short walk from several hotels. Many resorts here share brand names (Bahia Principe, Barceló, Iberostar, Palladium, Meliá) but sit on different access roads, so choose the exact hotel when you book.

Round trip to Uvero Alto From Google From our Punta Cana Adventures Google Business Profile.

We used Punta Cana Adventures for our roundtrip airport transfers from Punta Cana Airport to Breathless in Uvero Alto in July 2025. I shopped around and their private pricing to Uvero Alto was cheaper than group pricing from other companies. The vehicle was clean, well air conditioned and offered plenty of space. Our drivers were excellent, especially our return driver who went above and beyond. Our departure terminal was closed due to an emergency, there was so much traffic and chaos as they were re-routing everyone to another terminal. Our driver was awesome and kept his calm. He wasn't able to get to the new drop-off location due to the traffic so he parked where we were, grabbed our bags, carried them up a huge flight of stairs and walked us into the terminal. Such excellent service! The company provides excellent communication, they promptly replied to every question. Don't hesitate to book with Punta Cana Adventures, you won't be disappointed!

Questions travellers ask

My hotel is described as “Punta Cana”. Is it in Bávaro?

Often, yes. Punta Cana is used as the name of the whole resort coast, and most of the big all-inclusive resorts are in Bávaro. Look for your hotel in the list on this page or type its name in the booking form: the price and pickup time come from the exact hotel, not the area name.

How long is the drive from Punta Cana Airport to Bávaro?

About 21 minutes (19 km) to Los Corales without traffic, measured on OpenStreetMap. Hotels further north toward Arena Gorda take a little longer, and town traffic can add time at busy hours.

Can I walk to restaurants from a Bávaro hotel?

Around Los Corales and El Cortecito, yes: the beach is public and there are many independent restaurants, cafés and beach bars within walking distance. Resorts further along the coast are more spread out.
