This beautiful volume celebrates a dreamy vacation-and-escape destination, showcasing the most exclusive homes in the Caribbean tropical paradise of Punta Cana. This book takes us on a tropical adventure through Punta Cana Resort & Club’s most exclusive seaside homes. The stunning homes featured in this beautiful volume are set in exotic locations, with endless turquoise sea and sand views, on sweeping terraces with glimmering pools and dramatic sunsets. Breathtaking interiors with colorful tiles, earth-toned walls, thatched roofs, and natural wood finishes bring serenity and joy. Punta Cana specifically began as a business venture by Frank Rainieri and Ted Kheel in the late 1960s, located on a piece of land on the east coast in the province of La Altagracia, originally called Punta Borrachón (Drunkard’s Point). Today, Punta Cana is somewhere many consider to be as close to a paradise on earth as possible. Superbly photographed for the first time by Guido Taroni and edited by Naty Abascal, these never-before-seen homes will welcome readers to the warm and luxurious lifestyle in Punta Cana. This title is a must-have for interior designers, owners or potential buyers of seaside property, and armchair travelers who relish an escape to paradise.
