Lopesan Welcomes 1st Guests to its Three New Resorts in Punta Cana

Spectacular 127-meter-long lagoon pool.

Lopesan Hotel Group has officially welcomed the first guests to its three new resorts in Punta Cana: Lopesan Caoba Lagoon Resort Spa & Casino, Lopesan Serenity Bay Spa & Casino, and Lopesan Splash Cove Spa & Casino. 

The simultaneous debut marks the company’s largest Caribbean expansion to date, representing an investment of more than US$350 million and adding over 1,000 new rooms to its Dominican Republic portfolio, bringing its presence in Punta Cana to four distinct resort experiences, in addition to the existing Lopesan Costa Bávaro Resort Spa & Casino. 

Guest arrivals were marked by a personalized “First Guest Experience” honouring the inaugural travellers as part of the resorts’ opening story.

The three adjoining properties bring together water-inspired architecture, nature, entertainment, wellness, and multigenerational travel into one connected resort ecosystem.

However, each resort introduces its own unique identity:

Lopesan Caoba Lagoon – A 554-room resort concept featuring one of Punta Cana’s most visually distinctive hospitality experiences, centered around a spectacular 127-meter-long lagoon pool, cenote-inspired design elements, and 10 waterfalls inspired by the brand’s Flow philosophy, which emphasizes natural connection. The resort will also feature the new Lopesan Convention Center, accommodating more than 2,000 attendees for meetings, conferences, and events.

Lopesan Serenity Bay – An adults-only retreat featuring 239 rooms, exclusive dining venues, tranquil pool environments, and restorative spaces designed for guests seeking a more intimate and relaxed experience while still maintaining access to the larger Lopesan complex’s dining, entertainment, and nightlife offerings.

Lopesan Splash Cove – A family-focused, water-centric resort featuring 242 rooms, a wave pool, water park attractions, sports programming, and entertainment created for multigenerational travel and shared family moments.

At the heart of the connected resort ecosystem is The Boulevard, a vibrant open-air promenade designed to function more like a modern town centre than a traditional resort amenity. 

Boasting chef-driven restaurants, cocktail bars, nightlife venues, shopping, entertainment, an 820-seat theatre, and a casino within one walkable setting, guests can explore multiple destinations and an all-encompassing social hub all within the convenience of an integrated resort campus.

“This expansion marks a defining moment for Lopesan Hotel Group in the Caribbean and reflects our continued investment in Punta Cana as one of the region’s most important luxury travel destinations,” said Carlos Jimenez, Lopesan Caribbean Regional Director. 

“We are incredibly proud to officially welcome our first guests and introduce a connected resort experience that brings a new perspective to the modern all-inclusive.”
