Despite being one of the quietest times of the year in Punta Cana, fall is an excellent time to visit the coastal point. As resort occupancy drops, Punta Cana’s beaches become an oasis of tranquility, a perfect combination. Punta Cana’s reputation just got a big boost after Tripadvisor ranked the Caribbean destination as one of the best for fall travel in the world. With millions of Americans set to travel during the shoulder season, here’s why Punta Cana should be at the top of everyone’s bucket list.
Autumn brings out the best in Punta Cana. Summer, spring, and winter are by far the most popular times to visit Punta Cana and the Dominican Republic. Those periods typically see crowded beaches and resorts packed with guests, primarily from North America, who flock to enjoy the city’s warm, year-round climate. But few travelers consider Punta Cana a candidate for their fall getaway. And that shouldn’t be the case, at least according to Tripadvisor, which just published an overview of the best fall destinations to visit.

The online travel review platform just launched its long-awaited Seasonal Travel Index with Punta Cana ranked as the fifth most sought-after fall destination by Americans. This is an impressive feat for a destination that typically falls off the radar of most travelers outside of the busy winter and summer seasons. What is equally impressive is the fact that Punta Cana surpasses Caribbean heavyweights like Carmen beach and Aruba.

The new report also reveals interesting information about the evolution of Americans’ travel patterns, as more and more American citizens plan to take an international trip this fall. A considerable number of those planning to travel internationally this fall (around one in ten) will head to Caribbean destinations such as Punta Cana. Meanwhile, Tripadvisor’s latest findings reveal that 26% of Americans plan to travel alone this fall; that’s up 9% compared to last year, and a sign that Americans are more interested in exploring the world on their own.

That’s also great news for those heading to Punta Cana and the Dominican Republic, which are considered some of the safest destinations in the Caribbean.
