Flights to Punta Cana

Have a tropical island escape with our direct flights to Punta Cana. You can travel from four different UK airports, as TUI run international flights to Punta Cana from London Gatwick, Bristol, Manchester and Birmingham. You’re looking at a flight time of around nine hours. And as the Dominican Republic is five hours behind the UK, you’ll have the whole evening ahead of you after you touch down in Punta Cana. This part of the country is often nicknamed the Coconut Coast, because 20 kilometres of its coastline is fringed with gently swaying palm trees. The beaches along this stretch are cotton-white, and they’re rarely crowded because there’s so much sand to go around. On holidays to Punta Cana, you’ll also be well placed for daytrips to the two footprint-free desert islands that sit just off the coast – Saona and Catalina Island. Or, travel to Puerto Plata on the north coast, where there’s a mountain range to explore. Back on the east coast in Punta Cana, you’ll find some of the Caribbean’s most historic cities – Santo Domingo and Higuey. Then you’ve got little fishing villages that serve some of the best seafood around. The lion’s share of hotels sit in beachfront resorts like Bavaro, Uvero Alto and Cap Cana. You’ll be spoilt for choice with glamorous adults-only options and family-friendly places that make children the star of the show.
