Homes and apartments in Puntacana Village — often searched as Punta Cana Village — Grupo Puntacana’s residential and commercial community, home to Puntacana International School and Galerías Puntacana, and by its own count a two-minute drive from Punta Cana International Airport.
A place to live rather than to vacation, with school, shops, services and the airport all close at hand.
Sometimes written Punta Cana Village, this is Grupo Puntacana’s residential and commercial community. By its own description it covers 3.4 million square meters, two minutes by car from Punta Cana International Airport, and is home to about 750 families — roughly 2,500 people, most of them tourism-sector executives, business entrepreneurs, property developers and young families.
This is not a golf or beach resort. The courses, beaches and hotels are next door at Puntacana Resort & Club, and the Village’s website lists resident access to many Resort amenities — golf, tennis, the spa, water sports and Playa Blanca Beach Club — without publishing terms or fees. The Village’s own strength is everyday infrastructure: Puntacana International School; Galerías Puntacana, with a supermarket, restaurants, pharmacy, banks and a health center; and medical centers. That is what draws families and professionals who live here full-time.
Beside the airport and the Resort, a neighborhood made for the working week.
Life here runs on school runs and errands rather than tee times; the golf courses belong to the neighboring Resort.
Single-family villas and townhouse clusters, as the Village describes them, for families who want room to grow.
Lower-maintenance living for owners and long-term tenants alike.

Built for Full-Time Living. With school, shopping, services and the airport side by side, ordinary days never hinge on a hotel or a long commute. For beaches and golf, the Resort is a short drive on.
Families and professionals. Neighbors are mostly tourism-sector executives, entrepreneurs, property developers and young families, by the Village’s own account. The non-profit Puntacana International School reported more than 600 students from up to 20 nationalities in 2023.
Apartments or houses. Apartments suit professionals and lock-and-leave owners, while villas and townhouses give families outdoor space of their own. Each building and neighborhood sets its own HOA rules, fees and rental terms.
Long-term rentals. No official figures exist for Village rents or vacancy, so a purchase made to let stands on its own evidence: recent comparable leases, the building’s rental rules and management costs.
The Village puts the airport two minutes away by car. Punta Cana International handled 11,006,110 passengers in 2025, more than any other airport in the country.
A bilingual education from Toddler 1 to Grade 12: official Dominican programs in Spanish, with Cambridge IGCSE and a modified Georgia curriculum in English.

Grupo Puntacana built this non-profit school in the Village in 2000. Spanish-language subjects follow the official Dominican programs; English-language subjects follow the Cambridge IGCSE syllabus and a modified Georgia curriculum, from Toddler 1 to Grade 12.
The Village and Grupo Puntacana report accreditation by NEASC and the Council of International Schools (CIS). For relocating families, the school is a central reason to look at the Village.
Grupo Puntacana set aside 1,500 acres for an ecological park and reserve, now looked after by the Puntacana Foundation. On the foundation’s guided tours, some of its freshwater springs are open for a swim.
The reserve lies in the wider Grupo Puntacana area, beyond the Village itself. Its steward, founded in 1988, also leads conservation and research work.
Grupo Puntacana and Grupo Velutini opened BlueMall in 2017 at Boulevard Turístico and Carretera Juanillo, about 2 km from the airport. The mall counts more than 100 stores and restaurants on a single air-conditioned level.
Its outdoor amphitheater, with room for more than 3,000 people, stages a dancing-fountain show — close to the Village, though not part of it.
The airport opened in 1983 as, by its own account, the world’s first privately owned international commercial airport. In 2025 it handled 11,006,110 passengers, more than any other in the Dominican Republic.
For frequent travelers, this is the Village’s defining advantage: two minutes from the terminal by the Village’s count, with links to 81 international airports in 26 countries, as the airport reports.

Two minutes by car, the Village says — easy living for owners who travel often.
Next door, not inside. The Village sits beside the Resort rather than within it. Its website lists resident access to many Puntacana Resort & Club amenities — golf, tennis, the spa, water sports, horseback riding, eco tours, kitesurfing and Playa Blanca Beach Club — without saying they are free or come with a property, and the Resort’s Corales Golf Club runs on membership. Resort access is a term to settle in the purchase, never an assumption.
Security differs by building. Don’t assume one gated perimeter: we know of no published statement that the Village as a whole is gated or has unified 24-hour security. Buildings and neighborhoods may run their own access control, and the HOA is the place to learn how it works at the home you are considering.

Yes — “Punta Cana Village” is simply a common spelling of Puntacana Village, Grupo Puntacana’s residential and commercial community near Punta Cana International Airport. It is separate from both Puntacana Resort & Club and the wider Punta Cana–Bávaro area.
The Village lists resident access to many Puntacana Resort & Club amenities, golf and Playa Blanca Beach Club among them, but publishes no terms or fees, and the Resort's Corales Golf Club runs on membership. What a particular home includes, and at what cost, is best settled before you buy.
No published statement we know of describes the Village as a whole as gated or under unified 24-hour security. Individual buildings and neighborhoods may run their own access control, and the HOA can explain how it works at a given address.
Puntacana International School, right in the Village. It offers a bilingual program from Toddler 1 to Grade 12, and the Village reports accreditation by NEASC and the Council of International Schools. Admissions and fees are handled by the school directly.
Residents are mainly professionals and families, by the Village's description, but Village rents and vacancy rates are not published. Recent comparable leases, building rules and management costs are the real test of a rental purchase, and no return is guaranteed.
The Resort holds the golf courses, beaches, hotels and resort neighborhoods; the Village is the residential and commercial community next door, with the school, Galerías Puntacana and medical centers. No official price comparison between the two is published, so the useful comparison is property by property rather than by averages.
About two minutes by car, by the Village's own description. The Four Points by Sheraton Puntacana Village, for its part, describes itself as in front of the airport.
The Village, school, mall and resort websites are marked First-party: they describe their own facilities and are not independent. Airport traffic comes from the civil aviation authority.
Size, population, drive time and school accreditation are the Village’s and school’s own descriptions; the accreditors’ directories could not be checked in our review. No official source publishes Village prices, rents or vacancy, so we don’t quote any, and we make no price comparison with the Resort.
We have not found an official statement that the Village as a whole is gated or has unified 24-hour security, and the Village’s list of resident access to Resort amenities does not state terms or fees. Access to Resort amenities, HOA fees, security arrangements, rental rules and CONFOTUR status must be confirmed for each specific property.
