Meliá Hotels International, in partnership with Grupo Puntacana, reinforces its commitment to the Dominican Republic’s tourism sector with the joint development of Meliá Bergantín Beach. This project marks the beginning of a new chapter aimed at positioning Puerto Plata as a globally recognized destination, restoring the prominence of the country’s northern coast.
Punta Bergantín is a government-backed trust, driven by Grupo Reservas and the Ministry of Tourism, created to develop a tourism complex in Puerto Plata. The initiative spans over 10 million square meters of stunning natural surroundings, which will be preserved through a low-density urban development model.
On October 21, Gabriel Escarrer, Chairman and CEO of Meliá Hotels International, and Frank Elías Rainieri, CEO of Grupo Puntacana, attended the groundbreaking ceremony for Meliá Bergantín Beach. The event also included representatives from other entities involved in the project, such as Leonardo Aguilera, President of Banco de Reservas; Christopher Paniagua, President of Banco Popular; and Andrés Marranzini Grullón, Executive Director of the project.
Laying the foundation for Meliá’s latest venture in the Dominican Republic
Meliá Bergantín Beach will be a five-star hotel featuring 400 rooms, offering guests a unique experience through its modern accommodations and the hallmark excellence of the Meliá Hotels & Resorts brand—one of the company’s most iconic. With a diverse culinary offering, beach club, pools, spa, and dedicated areas for children, it will be the ideal destination for enjoying the Caribbean. Additionally, the hotel will include facilities and services tailored to the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) segment.
