Our latest debut in the Dominican Republic broadens our presence and underscores our commitment to redefining the all-inclusive experience in the world’s most desirable destinations,” said Danny Hughes, president, Americas, Hilton. “Zemi Miches Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort blends Hilton’s signature service and elevated all-inclusive offerings with the natural splendor and cultural richness of Miches—one of the Dominican Republic’s most enchanting and undiscovered gems. We are delighted to introduce travelers to Miches and set a new benchmark for all-inclusive hospitality in the region.”

Emerging Beachfront Retreat in the Dominican Republic

Located about 60 miles (100 kilometers) west of Punta Cana International Airport, Miches is a serene, undiscovered coastal town offering an authentic Dominican atmosphere that combines an idyllic fishing village’s charm with nature preserves and palm-lined beaches, providing tranquility and a sense of off-the-beaten-path adventure.

“Miches was the perfect location for the first Curio Collection all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic because it resonates with guests who are seeking authentic connections, transformative experiences, and meaningful escapes,” said Nicole Tilzer, vice president, all-inclusive & resort strategy, Hilton. “Guests want to be immersed in the genuine soul of a place while enjoying world-class amenities and service, so we’ve created a high-end all-inclusive that sparks curiosity to discover Miches’ untouched beauty and rich Dominican culture while offering the distinctive, curated hospitality that defines the Curio Collection brand.”

Taíno-Inspired Accommodations

The Taíno were the indigenous people of the Caribbean, known for their farming, craftsmanship, and harmonious connection to nature. Under the creative vision of Antonio Segundo Imbert, architect and owner of Simples Arquitectura, Adriana Hoyos Design Studio, and Arkham Projects, Zemi Miches Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort honors their legacy with earth-toned aesthetics and handcrafted details that reflect Taíno artistry while seamlessly blending it with Miches’ lush natural surroundings.

Spanning across six contoured buildings boasting carefully curated indoor and outdoor spaces, the resort features 500 guest rooms, suites, and bungalows. Accommodations offer sweeping views of Playa Esmeralda, with interiors that combine modern elegance and eco-conscious materials. Select rooms include private balconies, while 119 ground-floor suites feature private plunge pools for an indulgent, tranquil all-inclusive stay.

For guests that choose the Club Azure offering, there are 87 rooms and 28 suites providing spacious accommodations and exclusive perks, such as private check-in, a personal concierge, premium in-room amenities and a 1,470-square-foot rooftop infinity pool lined with umbrellas and lounging spaces. Guests staying in one of the resort’s 20 oceanfront Bungalows also enjoy exclusive access to Club Azure, along with spacious layouts ranging from studios to one and two bedrooms, and private pools just steps from the beach.

Cultural Immersion & Family-Friendly Amenities

At Zemi Miches Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort, the region’s traditions are brought to life in the resort’s design and through immersive cultural programming that brings the island’s heritage to life. Guests can take part in Dominican-inspired ceremonies, live performances, artisanal workshops, and culinary and mixology classes, all designed to offer a deeper connection to the local culture and a true sense of place.

Families will find enriching activities at every turn. The Coki Cove Kids Club (ages 3–12) offers a vibrant mix of cultural and educational programming, marine conservation workshops, and a kids’ bakery, blending fun with education in a thoughtfully curated environment.

Recreational amenities are abundant, ensuring guests of all ages enjoy a dynamic and memorable stay.

The resort will also introduce firepits, waterslides, pickleball, and paddleball courts, adding even more excitement for families of all ages.

Bold Tropical Indulgence

The resort boasts a wide array of global flavors at 14 restaurants, bars, and lounges, with menus inspired by native and seasonal ingredients and the traditional cuisine of the Caribbean, Thailand, and the Amalfi Coast. Executive Chef Frankely Castillo utilizes bold flavors, and time-honored cooking methods to create exceptional culinary journeys that celebrate local heritage while delivering unforgettable, authentically crafted epicurean adventures. Guests can savor numerous destination-inspired offerings including:

• Toa, where guests immerse themselves in a cultural gastronomic journey through authentic Caribbean cuisine. This signature dining experience highlights native ingredients expertly transformed into contemporary masterpieces that honor the rich Taíno heritage.

• Manicato, where guests are transported to Italy’s sun-drenched Amalfi Coast, from wood-fired pizzas to house-made pastas and freshly caught seafood preparations.

Seven bars and lounges cater to every mood and moment throughout the day. Batey transforms from a daytime tropical fruit market offering fresh-cut delights, Dominican style coffee, pressed juices and custom smoothies into an evening cocktail sanctuary featuring hand-crafted juice infusions. Dujo serves as the property’s hub, where guests enjoy specialty coffees and Taíno-inspired signature cocktails by day before transitioning to rum-focused cocktails and curated spirit tastings. Serra elevates the sports bar concept with gastropub flair, pairing favorite drinks with refined pub classics in a playful atmosphere. Located near the main pool, Surfship is the ideal spot to taste fresh Caribbean style cocktails. Two swim-up pool bars—Carey and Anani—offer a variety of signature beverages without leaving the cooling waters, each presenting its own unique menu of tropical concoctions and casual fare.

Club Azure guests will have access to two exclusive dining venues: The Royal Palm, a Caribbean-inspired rooftop lounge serving light bites, appetizers, and handcrafted cocktails throughout the day. This premium lounge features Caicu, an exclusive bar featuring an infinity pool overlooking Playa Esmeralda. Jagua, a dedicated all-day dining restaurant accessible only to Bungalow guests, features jungle-inspired décor and a refined seafood-focused menu.

Locally-Inspired Wellness Reimagined

Later this year, Zemi Miches Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort will unveil Acana Spa & Wellness, a more than 16,000-square-foot wellness center that also draws inspiration from ancient Taíno spiritual traditions and modern wellness practices. The spa will feature 11 treatment rooms, including a bridal suite, a hydrotherapy circuit, a relaxation lounge, sauna and steam rooms, and private plunge pools. Acana Spa’s treatment menu is based on ancestral rituals designed to restore balance and revitalize the body.

Wellness extends beyond the spa with a juice bar and a 6,460-square-foot fitness center located in the main building. Guests can enjoy a yoga studio and an outdoor wellness area offering daily classes and activities that promote holistic well-being in harmony with the natural surroundings.
