Tortuga Bay Resort & Club

When we began Puntacana Resort & Club over 45 years ago, the concept of “sustainable development” didn’t yet exist. We made all of our important decisions based on a deep respect for the Dominican Republic, its people, and its incredible natural resources. Yet, our innovations in building our airport, golf courses, and our resort community reflect our deep commitment to protecting the natural environment and local communities. Many of our early development practices now recognized as “sustainable tourism,” having earned us numerous international, sustainable tourism awards. The not-for-profit Fundacion Grupo Puntacana was created in 1994 to develop solutions to tourisms’ most complex environmental and social challenges. The Foundation has developed a range of innovative projects that serve as living, breathing examples of sustainable tourism.
