Your Ultimate Guide to Punta Cana’s Dreamiest Wedding Spots — Handpicked by a Local Photographer.

Planning a wedding in Punta Cana? You’ve probably already fallen in love with its white-sand beaches and stunning turquoise waters — but picking the right venue is what truly sets the scene for the wedding you’ve always dreamed of. After living here for over 12 years and photographing hundreds of destination weddings, I’ve come to know which venues not only look incredible in photos but deliver an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.

Here’s my personal shortlist of Punta Cana’s most amazing wedding venues — each one with its own special vibe and story.

1. Kukua Beach Club — Trendy & Intimate

Kukua is one of my all-time favorites for a reason. It’s an intimate beach club with a private stretch of sand, gorgeous rustic-modern decor, and a team that treats every couple like family. The food is next-level, and there’s nothing like golden hour portraits here — the light, the ocean, and the laid-back vibe make magic happen.

2. Jellyfish Restaurant — Secluded & Romantic

Jellyfish feels like your own little beachfront hideaway. It’s a two-story, open-air restaurant with dreamy draped ceilings, sandy floors, and views from every angle. Couples love the privacy here — no random resort crowds — just you, your guests, and the sound of the ocean.

3. Huracan Beach Club — Boho Beach Paradise

If you’re dreaming of a boho-chic wedding, Huracan is a gem. It has that earthy, authentic Caribbean feel with natural wood, tropical greenery, and a warm, welcoming vibe. Every wedding here feels one-of-a-kind, and the team knows exactly how to make it special.

4. Finest Punta Cana — Modern & All-Inclusive

For couples who want a bigger celebration without the stress, Finest Punta Cana is a fantastic choice. This newer resort combines sleek design with luxury amenities, and the wedding team is top-notch. Your guests will love the pools, dining, and beach views — and you’ll love how beautiful it looks in photos.

5. Eden Roc Cap Cana — Exclusive Luxury

Eden Roc is the ultimate splurge — an exclusive Relais & Châteaux property tucked into the upscale Cap Cana area. Think private beaches, infinity pools, oceanfront villas, and service that makes you feel like royalty. It’s intimate, elegant, and absolutely breathtaking.

6. Sanctuary Cap Cana — Old-World Charm

If you want your wedding to feel like a fairytale, Sanctuary Cap Cana is pure magic. It’s an adults-only resort with stone archways, cobblestone paths, and that “castle by the sea” vibe. It feels romantic and timeless — like stepping into another world.

7. Dreams Macao Beach — Family-Friendly & Fun

Dreams Macao is perfect if you want a laid-back, family-friendly resort that still feels special. The beach here is one of my favorites — clear waters, natural cliffs, and a beautiful setting for both ceremonies and portraits. Plus, there’s something for everyone, from kids to grandparents.

8. Maralia Cap Cana — Modern Coastal Chic

One of Punta Cana’s newer venues, Maralia Cap Cana offers a contemporary vibe with stunning oceanfront views. The architecture is stylish yet warm, and the open-air layout lets you have your ceremony by the sea and your reception under the stars. It’s private, fresh, and absolutely gorgeous.
