Private transfer from the airport (the most recommended option)

The private transfer from Punta Cana Airport to Sanctuary Cap Cana is the preferred option for most resort guests.

  • Driver waiting for you with your name

  • Private air-conditioned vehicle

  • Authorized access to Cap Cana

  • Direct service, no stops

Real experience

“We arrived tired after a night flight. The driver was already waiting for us, and in less than 30 minutes we were in the lobby with a drink in hand. It was exactly the arrival we had hoped for.”

-Laura & Andrés

Average cost: $35 to $45 per trip, up to 6 passengers.

For a luxury adults-only resort like Sanctuary Cap Cana, this option fits perfectly with the type of experience the hotel promises.

What about airport taxis?

Taxis are available and legal, but:

  • Fares are often higher

  • They are not always clear from the start

  • It can be stressful after a long flight

Average price: around $40 each way.

It's a valid option, but less predictable.

Shared shuttles: are they worth it?

In practice, they are not usually ideal for Sanctuary Cap Cana:

  • Long waits at the airport

  • Several stops at other hotels

  • Rigid schedules

  • Price similar to private transfer

“We thought we would save money, but we arrived exhausted. Next time we would pay for a private transfer without hesitation.”

-Miguel, traveler from Argentina

Uber in Punta Cana: what you need to know

Although Uber operates in Punta Cana, it is not recommended for getting to Sanctuary Cap Cana:

  • Conflicts with local taxis

  • No direct access to the resort

  • You must get off at the entrance to Cap Cana

“They left us at the entrance with our bags in the sun. It wasn't dangerous, but it was uncomfortable.”

-Sofía, anniversary trip

Does Sanctuary Cap Cana offer transportation from the airport?

No.

Sanctuary Cap Cana does not offer its own transportation, so it is necessary to book with a reliable third-party provider.

Arriving well is also part of luxury

Sanctuary Cap Cana is designed for travelers who value tranquility, privacy, and attention to detail.

Arriving stressed completely contradicts that experience.

Your flight is already booked.

Your resort awaits you.

Book your private transfer from Punta Cana Airport to Sanctuary Cap Cana and start your vacation the way it should begin: calmly, comfortably, and in style.
