Punta Cana Resort and Club (PCRC) is an exclusive, 20 sq. mi. gated, golf and beach community situated along 3 miles of pristine, white-sand Caribbean beaches. PCRC was co-founded and designed by Oscar de la Renta with a lush and understated elegance, and is the tropical playground chosen by celebrities, politicians, PGA golfers, and wonderful families and guests from around the world.

PCRC is its own oasis—far separated from the crowded “all-inclusive” resorts—but is located just 5 mins away from Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ). The ultra-convenient PUJ is the busiest air hub in the Caribbean, with over 100 daily non-stops from all over North America, Latin America, and Europe.

In addition to 5 villa neighborhoods, PCRC contains several acclaimed oceanfront properties, the Westin Punta Cana Resort, the award-winning Tortuga Bay Beach Hotel, and an under-construction luxury eco-boutique hotel, along with multiple world-class restaurants.

Beach clubs: Two full-service beach clubs, La Cana and Playa Blanca, are just 5 mins from Casa Azul.

9/22/2024 Really beautiful house. My wife and the guests loved it! The staff were terrific. Andrea and Rosi had the house and bedrooms pristine every day. The chef-prepared meals were amazing. In fact, we canceled some of our dining out plans because the dinners were not only better than at a top restaurant, they were a lot less expensive too. And the outside dining at the house was gorgeous on the terrace overlooking the pool, lake and the sunsets. I’ve never seen such a huge, beautiful, built-in stone table like they have out on the terrace. A spectacular dining experience. The house has a perfect, central location in the resort. Close to the beaches, golf, and tennis center. And 5 minutes to the airport! What an amazing place—a five-star experience all around.
