The upcoming Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana resort, promising luxury and sustainability.
Punta Cana is set to unveil the Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana, the largest oceanfront resort in the Dominican Republic. With its opening scheduled for spring 2026, the resort will offer 2,171 guest rooms, many with stunning ocean views. Focused on sustainability and community development, this $1.5 billion investment will create approximately 5,700 jobs and include a dedicated housing project for hospitality workers. The resort aims to provide diverse dining and entertainment options, alongside a unique eco-friendly golf course, reinforcing the Dominican Republic’s appeal as a premier tourist destination.
Punta Cana is poised to introduce the Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana, a monumental oceanfront resort scheduled for opening in spring 2026. Developed by Palace Resorts, this new destination will be situated on a sprawling 297-acre beachfront site in the Bávaro area, promising to be the largest of its kind in the Dominican Republic.
The construction of Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana includes two impressive 18-story towers and a central clubhouse, all of which have reached the structural completion phase. The current construction efforts are concentrating on the interior work, mechanical systems, and finishing details. Upon its opening, the resort will boast the highest number of oceanfront guest rooms in the nation, with a total of 2,171 rooms, of which 66% will offer direct ocean views.
The design of the resort emphasizes a vertical layout to conserve green space and reduce environmental impact. The project incorporates a 400-meter mangrove protection zone and features elevated pathways that will connect accommodations to the beachfront seamlessly. Additionally, Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana aims to be partially powered by renewable energy sources, including solar and wind, with full operations on these energy sources anticipated by 2027.
Guests will have access to a diverse range of dining venues, with 19 restaurants, bars, and nightclubs tailored to accommodate over 5,000 visitors daily. Furthermore, the resort will have its own Greg Norman “eco-signature” golf course, although the opening date for the course has not yet been disclosed.
This $1.5 billion investment is expected to yield approximately 5,700 direct jobs upon its completion. To address local housing challenges, Palace Resorts will also develop Ciudad Palace, a community designed specifically for hospitality workers comprising 1,800 apartments, schools, and parks.
Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana will mark the first Palace Resorts property in the Dominican Republic. The company currently operates ten all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, including the acclaimed Moon Palace Cancun and Moon Palace Jamaica in Ocho Rios. Specific bookings for Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana will open on September 1, 2025, with recruitment for staff set to begin three months prior to the opening.
The Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana is poised to redefine luxury travel in the Caribbean with its ambitious focus on sustainability, job creation, and extensive recreational opportunities. As the Dominican Republic continues to grow as a popular tourist destination, the addition of this resort promises to reinforce its appeal to travelers from around the globe.
