The Dominican Republic brings together Caribbean beaches, tropical scenery and a strong golfing tradition. Its eastern coastline is particularly well suited to golfers who want to combine time on the course with a beach holiday and the relaxed pace of a Caribbean resort.
The Meliá golf resorts in the Dominican Republic are concentrated in the Bávaro–Punta Cana area, with all four properties located close to Cocotal Golf & Country Club. This makes it easy to combine golf with the convenience of an All Inclusive resort.
The hotels cater to different styles of holiday, from family stays and couples' getaways to wellness breaks and group trips. Each has its own atmosphere while sharing the same golf destination.

Meliá's own golf course, minutes away
The main golf attraction associated with these four resorts is Cocotal Golf & Country Club, owned by Meliá Hotels International and located just minutes from the properties.
Designed by José “Pepe” Gancedo and opened in 2000, Cocotal features 27 holes across three nine-hole layouts. The different combinations provide a variety of ways to enjoy a round of golf in a tropical setting.
The course is shared by Meliá Caribe Beach Resort, Meliá Punta Cana Beach, Paradisus Grand Cana - All Suites and Paradisus Palma Real Golf & Spa Resort.
This makes the four resorts well suited to travellers looking for a golf course hotel in the Dominican Republic, with golf close to their accommodation rather than requiring longer journeys to other parts of the region.
Golf access and transfers depend on the arrangements available at each resort. Playing conditions and any additional costs, including golf cart or club hire, should be checked when booking.
The Dominican Republic and its golfing surroundings
Although this selection covers the Dominican Republic, all four resorts are located in the Bávaro–Punta Cana area, where Caribbean beaches and golf come together.
Bávaro Beach is one of the region's best-known attractions, with white sand and turquoise waters that offer an easy way to relax between rounds. The Indigenous Eyes Ecological Park is another place to explore, with tropical landscapes and freshwater lagoons.
Across the Dominican Republic, the country's golf scene also includes courses such as Diente de Perro (Teeth of the Dog), Corales Golf Club, Punta Espada Golf Club, La Cana Golf Club and PGA Ocean's 4.
These courses form part of the wider golfing landscape of the country and are separate from the golf facilities associated with the four Meliá resorts. For these properties, Cocotal Golf & Country Club is the main golf facility.
Getting there and when to go
Punta Cana International Airport is the main arrival point for travellers staying at these four Meliá resorts. All are located in the Bávaro–Punta Cana area and can be reached by road. Journey times vary depending on the hotel, traffic and transport option.
The dry season, generally from December to April, is a popular time for a golf holiday in the Dominican Republic. These months are often well suited to combining rounds at Cocotal Golf & Country Club with beach days and other outdoor activities.
Golf is also possible during the rest of the year, although higher temperatures and tropical rainfall can affect outdoor plans. During the warmer months, earlier tee times may be more comfortable.
