The Bachelorette
Six to ten friends, one week, and a mission to send someone off right. This is the Punta Cana bachelorette trip that balances party boats and open bars with enough beach recovery time to actually make it to dinner. You'll hit the Kukoo Kunuku party bus, float on a catamaran with drinks in hand, dance at Coco Bongo, and still have mornings where the most strenuous thing you do is reapply sunscreen.
Day 1
Arrival & Palm Beach Settling
Afternoon
Land at PUJ, clear customs, and take a private transfer straight to your Palm Beach hotel. Drop bags, change into swimsuits, and head to the beach to shake off the flight. The water's warm, the sand's wide, and you're officially on vacation.
Evening
Walk to Pedrito's for your first dinner — it's right on the beach, the vibe is casual, and the fried plantains are mandatory. Order a round of Presidentes, toast the bride, and let the week begin.
Day 2
Party Boat & Casino Night
Morning
Sleep in. If anyone's ambitious, grab breakfast at the hotel and take a slow beach walk. This is the calm before the party boat.
Afternoon
Board the Boom Party boat for a floating afternoon of DJ sets, open bar, and zero responsibilities. You'll snorkel when the boat stops, but mostly you'll be dancing on deck and taking group photos that will absolutely surface at the wedding.
Evening
Head back, shower off the salt, and rally for a late dinner at Herman 311 — solid plates, good cocktails, and a crowd that gets it. After, Uber to Kviar Casino at the Grand Palladium for slots, blackjack, and the kind of bad decisions that stay in Punta Cana.
Day 3
Coco Bongo & The Full Send
Morning
Recovery mode. Order room service, float in the pool, or claim a row of beach chairs and do absolutely nothing. Hydrate. You'll need it.
Afternoon
Late lunch at Pastrata for tacos and margaritas — it's low-key, the food hits, and you can prep for tonight without committing to anything too heavy. Swing back to the room for naps if needed.
Evening
Tonight is Coco Bongo. The show starts around 10 p.m. and runs five hours of acrobats, impersonators, confetti cannons, and an open bar that doesn't quit. Book the transfer, dress up, and prepare for the most theatrical night of the trip. You'll leave sweaty, hoarse, and with at least one video you'll regret posting.
Day 4
Macao Beach, Sunset, & Group Dinner
Morning
Another slow start. If anyone's feeling adventurous, book a buggy tour to Playa Macao — it's the wild, open beach north of Bávaro where the sand is soft and the waves actually break. Swim, take photos, and soak in the fact that this beach exists outside the resort bubble.
Afternoon
Head back, rinse off, and spend the afternoon at Pearl Beach Club in Cabeza de Toro. It's a Euro-style beach club with loungers, drinks, and a vibe that's more stylish than spring break. Order ceviche, float in the shallows, and let the sun do its thing.
Evening
Tonight's the group dinner. Book La Yola at the Puntacana Marina — you're eating on a pier over the water, the service is polished, and the whole crew can finally sit down for a meal that isn't rushed. Toast the bride one more time, order too much wine, and let someone else pick up the bill.
Know before you go
- Book Coco Bongo and the Boom Party boat at least a few days ahead — they fill up, especially if you're traveling in high season.
- Private airport transfers for groups of six-plus cost about the same as multiple taxis and you'll all arrive together without haggling.
- Palm Beach hotels (Bávaro strip) put you within walking distance of beach bars, restaurants, and most tour pickups. Don't stay in Uvero Alto unless you want to Uber everywhere.
- The party boat is an all-day event — eat a real breakfast, bring sunscreen, and pace yourself on the open bar or you'll be done by 3 p.m.
- Coco Bongo doesn't serve food. Eat dinner before you go, or you'll be five drinks deep on an empty stomach by midnight.
- Playa Macao has strong surf and no lifeguards. Swim only if you're comfortable with waves — it's not the calm resort water you're used to.
- Tipping in USD is standard and appreciated — bring small bills for drivers, bartenders, and tour guides.
- If someone in the group can't hang one night, let them sit out. There's no shame in a hotel room pizza and a 9 p.m. bedtime when you're on day three of a bachelorette trip.
