Getting from Punta Cana airport to the city center

Fastest options: private transfer or taxi. Best value: shared shuttle services.

Punta Cana is served by Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), the busiest airport in the Caribbean. Located approximately 30 km east of the main resort areas and tourist zones, the airport offers various airport transfers to city center destinations and beach resorts. Unlike many major cities, Punta Cana lacks public transportation infrastructure such as buses or trains connecting the airport to hotels and resorts.
