About Ocean Blue and Sand

Ocean Blue and Sand is a spectacular all-inclusive resort located on Playa Bavaro, in Punta Cana, on the eastern coast of the Dominican Republic. The property enjoys a privileged location on the seafront, within an area known for its white sand beaches lined with coconut palms. This unparalleled setting promises picturesque coral reefs just a stone’s throw from the shore, top class golf courses, and the wide choice of dining and entertainment options in the town of Punta Cana.

Designed and constructed to capture the very essence of luxury, this exceptional resort centres around two enormous free-from swimming pools and offers a wide range of indulgent facilities – including nine restaurants, eleven bars, and a serene onsite spa. Guests looking to elevate their all-inclusive experience can also opt for this resort’s 'Privilege' package, which guarantees an extensive selection of additional facilities, such as butler service and preferential reservations at onsite amenities.

Founded in 2003, Pro Dive International is renowned for its high standards of excellence, quality, and safety. At Ocean Blue and Sand, the dive centre is located on the resort’s private beach and is staffed by a qualified multilingual team and instructors.
