Without any effort, you can guess that this opposite is definitely a beach holiday in a tropical climate. Based on this, it is difficult to come up with a better option than the Cabeza de Toro area in Punta Cana.

Cabeza de Toro Beach

Well, Cabeza de Toro is a neighborhood located between the Punta Cana and Bavaro areas. It will take you about 20 minutes by car from the Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) to get there. As you may know, Punta Cana is the most popular holiday destination in the Caribbean. Also, it is the safest city in Punta Cana and is famous for its great service and white sand beaches with turquoise waters.

Cabeza de Toro Beach is known for its luxury vacation options. When in this area, it is hard to go wrong with choosing a hotel or villa, as they are all in a great position right on the beach. In fact, Cabeza de Toro translates as “bull’s head” from Spanish. And this is because the shore outline looks like a bull’s head. Moreover, Playa Cabeza de Toro has the “Blue flag” status, which means that the waters are calm there. So, it has perfect conditions for swimming.

Activities and attractions

Fortunately, tourists do not get bored in the Dominican Republic, as there are numerous entertainment and excursions. So, let us take a look at some of the best things to do.

So, you cannot say that you were in the Dominican Republic if you did not see its absolutely incredible underwater world. Snorkeling is just a must when you are in Punta Cana. Also, many excursions such as a trip to Catalina Island, a boat trip, and Saona Island, include snorkeling. We strongly recommend not to miss the chance to enjoy the beauty to the fullest.

Cabeza de Toro Beach vs Bavaro Beach

1. Bavaro Beach

Well, there is no doubt that Bavaro Beach is one of the top three in the list of the best beaches in Punta Cana. The Bavaro Beach is open to the public, that is why you can easily get there. Despite this, many five-star hotels have their own private sector on the coast. Moreover, the entire beach is equipped with amenities to make your stay there comfortable. Probably due to its popularity, the Bavaro area has more entertainment such as restaurants, bars, and clubs. In addition, most people on excursions depart from here.

2. Cabeza de Toro Beach

So, since Cabeza de Toro is a part of Punta Cana and is only 20 kilometers by car from Bavaro, the area is also popular. Here you can also find entertainment and some hotels and villas, which are located on the very shore. Nevertheless, the beaches in the area are much less crowded. And sometimes there is seaweed thrown by the surf. Also, we have to mention that many traditional fishermen come to the beach daily. At this point, you have the best opportunity to visit good fish restaurants with fresh catch.

Where to stay

In our opinion, the best options to stay here are villas or apartments. We believe that the main advantage of renting a villa or apartment is complete freedom and privacy. Does not it sound like a dream how you find yourself the owner of a stunning home in the Dominican Republic for a certain period? Renting a villa with us can guarantee you freedom of your actions and harmony with nature.

We can also provide you with additional services such as a private chef, maid service, spa, and transfer options. Most of our villas have a private swimming pool, and most apartments have a balcony with a stunning view. Therefore, it is difficult enough to find a better opportunity to get a dose of relaxation!
