Grand Palladium Select Bavaro - Punta Cana

Overview

Other facilities

Five expansive swimming pools form the heart of the resort, framed by palm trees and sun terraces, with space to swim, relax or join in with organised activities. Sports facilities are extensive and spread across the grounds, including a fully equipped gym, tennis and padel courts, basketball and volleyball courts, mini-golf and pickleball. Daily fitness sessions range from yoga and Pilates to aqua spin and water aerobics, while pool games and beach activities add an easy-going, social feel throughout the day.

For quieter moments, the spa and wellness centre offers a refined escape from the buzz of the resort. Inside, soft lighting, natural textures and calm water features set the tone for total relaxation. You can book a hydrotherapy circuit featuring hot and cold pools, saunas, steam rooms and an ice room, or unwind with a massage, facial or body treatment. A healthy bar within the spa serves fresh juices and smoothies, perfect for recharging between treatments. Beauty services are also available, including manicures, pedicures, hair styling and specialist services for special occasions, all bookable during your stay for an additional charge.

Families are particularly well catered for, with age-specific clubs designed to keep younger travellers entertained. The Baby Club provides a calm, colourful environment for toddlers, complete with play areas and nap rooms, while the Mini Club features creative spaces, splash areas and a playful pirate-themed castle. Older children and teens can spend time at the Black & White Junior Club, where games tables and social spaces create a relaxed hangout. When evening arrives, entertainment continues with live shows, themed events and the on-site casino, where slot machines, card tables and late-night drinks keep the atmosphere lively well into the night.
