Couples from around the world fall in love with Punta Cana for its tropical scenery-white sand beaches, sapphire blue seas and hilly jungles. They also come to love the mix of activities, and the dynamic array of restaurants, nightclubs and discos. Tucked away on Bávaro Beach, 25 minutes from the city's international airport, the all-inclusive Paradisus Punta Cana Resort reigns over 20 acres of coastal splendor, making it the ideal destination for weddings, honeymoons and romantic getaways.

Shimmering seas draw couples out to kayak, windsurf, snorkel and scuba dive. Golf and tours of the region also keep guests active, while relaxation comes easy by the lagoon-style pools-one reserved for adults-on waterfront Bali Beds, or with a massage for two at full-service Paradisus Punta Cana Spa. Lovebirds appreciate the list of romantic offerings, such as tango lessons, massage classes, stargazing, wine tasting and beachside dinners.

Guests also discover paradise in the 505 oversize suites, where superior appointments and first-rate service make for a memorable stay. Stylish, tropical decor is enhanced by ocean-view terraces, private living areas, marble baths and every modern luxury, including controlled air-conditioning, daily stocked minibars, private safes, cable TVs and 24-hour room service.

Unique to Sol Meliá, the 80 adults-only Royal Service Suites elevate personal attention and amenities to the highest level. Guests are treated to butler service, preferred spa and dinner reservations, airport transfers as well as access to a VIP lounge offering daily breakfast, an evening bar and free high-speed Internet access. Exclusive Royal Suite privileges also include Bali Bed and lounge chair reservations at a private pool and beach area.

Brides and grooms tying the knot at the Sol Meliá-designed resort can call on the assistance of a Romance Specialist, who not only helps custom-design a wedding package expressly for each couple, but stands by from day one to orchestrate each important detail. The number of venues available for ceremonies and receptions include a secluded stretch of beach, the garden-side Conventions Terrace, the ocean-view Lobby Balcony, two classic white Lobby Tents, the Tea Time Salon and the Spa Pool site.
