Bávaro
Bávaro is a tourist area located in Punta Cana, in the easternmost region of the Dominican Republic. Known for its beautiful beaches, clear turquoise waters, and numerous all-inclusive resorts, Bávaro is a popular destination for international tourists seeking a tropical vacation. The area is characterized by a long stretch of coastline dotted with hotels, restaurants, shops, and recreational facilities.
Bávaro's beaches are protected by offshore coral reefs, contributing to calmer waters suitable for swimming and watersports. Popular activities include snorkeling, scuba diving, windsurfing, and parasailing. Beyond the beach, tourists can also visit nearby attractions such as Manatí Park, a local theme park showcasing indigenous wildlife and culture, and excursions to Isla Saona and Isla Catalina, offering opportunities for exploration and relaxation.
While Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) is the nearest airport, Bávaro itself does not have an airport. Bávaro has seen significant development over the past few decades, transforming from a sparsely populated area to a bustling tourist hub. The economy of Bávaro is heavily reliant on tourism, providing employment opportunities in the hospitality, service, and retail sectors.
