The basics

Every night feels like Saturday night at Coco Bongo, one of the most popular nightspots in Punta Cana. The stage show features some 40 dancers, trapeze artists, musicians, and gymnasts, and a basic admission ticket includes this, plus access to an open bar.

Nightlife in Punta Cana

The popular Imagine Punta Cana is located inside a series of three caves—a unique setting for a night of dancing—while ORO nightclub offers two levels of space with DJs and performances by international artists.
