Mérida,
MX – August 2025 / NewsmakerAlert: The
Palace Company has announced that Moon
Palace The Grand-Punta Cana will open with 2,171 rooms, 66% of which
will feature direct ocean views-making it the resort with the highest number
of oceanfront accommodations in the Dominican Republic’s history. “This
project is a game-changer for hospitality in the Caribbean,” said Gibrán
Chapur, CEO of The Palace Company. “Its scale, vertical design, environmental
preservation, and human impact will set a new standard for our industry.”
Backed
by an investment of over $1.5 billion, the property features two 18-story
towers-a bold departure from the typical three- to four-story resorts that
define the region. This design allowed for the preservation of over 228,000-square-meters
of natural vegetation, including 400 meters of protected mangrove forest.
Elevated walkways will guide guests to the beach while safeguarding the
ecosystem. The resort’s tiered construction also enabled the conservation
of 38,000-square-meters of green space every three floors-making it the
most environmentally sustainable hotel ever built in the country.

As
part of the project’s long-term vision, The Palace Company will also introduce
Ciudad Palace-a first-of-its-kind community for hospitality workers and
their families. The development will include 1,800 apartments, schools,
parks, sports areas, retail space, and essential services. In its initial
phase, it will provide dignified housing for 4,000 employees, and eventually
become home to more than 12,000 people, addressing one of the tourism sector’s
greatest challenges: the long commutes faced by hotel staff.
From
2027 onward, Moon Palace The Grand-Punta Cana will be fully powered by
renewable energy-solar during the day and wind at night-dramatically reducing
its carbon footprint. With 19 restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, and over
5,000 daily visitors to its grand lobby, the resort will redefine luxury,
sustainability, and social impact in the Caribbean.
Recruitment
begins in three months, with the official opening scheduled for early
2026 - ushering in a new era for Dominican tourism and responsible
development in the region.
