The Dominican Republic’s Punta Cana corridor is about to get its biggest single-day resort launch of the year. On May 1, 2026, three new all-inclusive resorts will open as part of the Lopesan Costa Bavaro complex — making this one of the most ambitious resort expansions in the Caribbean this year.

Each of the five-star properties has a distinct identity:

Lopesan Splash Cove features 244 rooms with swim-out room options and waterpark-view accommodations — a strong play for families and couples who want an active, fun resort atmosphere.

Lopesan Caoba Lagoon is the largest of the three at 552 rooms, designed around a cenote-style lagoon setting that creates a lush, tropical-immersion feel.

Lopesan Serenity Bay is a dedicated adults-only retreat with 239 rooms, targeting honeymooners and couples who want a quieter, more refined all-inclusive experience.

The Shared Campus Advantage

What makes the Lopesan expansion particularly appealing is the shared-campus model. Guests at any of the three new properties get access to the full Lopesan Costa Bavaro resort complex, including its signature Boulevard — an outdoor walkable mall with dining, entertainment, a rum bar, and a bowling alley. It’s one of the most distinctive all-inclusive amenities in the Caribbean.

Punta Cana’s Continued Momentum

The Dominican Republic has been one of the Caribbean’s strongest performers in 2026, welcoming over 1.2 million visitors in the opening months of the year. Punta Cana in particular continues to attract major hotel investment, with the Lopesan expansion joining other new openings like the upcoming Secrets Macao Beach Punta Cana (an adults-only Hyatt all-inclusive).
