Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana redefines Caribbean luxury with 2,171 suites (66% direct ocean view), 19 specialty restaurants, a Greg Norman golf course, full water park, and a destination wedding programme set on the pristine shores of Bávaro Beach. Opened in early 2026 as the Dominican Republic's largest oceanfront resort, it is backed by a $1.5 billion investment and built to set a new standard for all-inclusive hospitality.
Overview
Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana is Palace Resorts' most ambitious property to date — a twin 18-story oceanfront resort on Bávaro Beach, Punta Cana. Opened in early 2026 with 2,171 suites and backed by a $1.5 billion investment, it delivers the full Moon Palace experience at an unprecedented scale: 19 restaurants, a Greg Norman golf course, water park, casino, bowling alley, O Spa, and a destination wedding programme with complimentary event hours.
The architectural design — two vertical towers rather than the region's typical low-rise spread — was driven by environmental preservation goals. Over 228,000 sq m of natural vegetation was conserved, including 400m of protected mangrove forest, and 38,000 sq m of green space is maintained every three floors. Elevated walkways guide guests to the beach while safeguarding the ecosystem. From 2027, the resort will run entirely on renewable energy.
For all types of travelers — wedding groups, families, couples — Moon Palace The Grand offers the signature Moon Palace all-inclusive programme: all meals at all 19 restaurants included, premium spirits, water park access, golf, entertainment, and transfers. Kids under 17 stay, play, and eat free. The resort sits 25 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport.
