Meliá Hotels International’s Zel and tennis star Rafael Nadal announced their first property in Punta Cana, which will open on 12DEC.
Zel Punta Cana is located fewer than 30 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport and just a short walk from the white sands of Bavaro Beach.
The resort includes 190 nature-inspired guestrooms, including Suites, Master Suites and Swim-Up Suites.
The hotel has two swimming pools, five tennis courts, dedicated meeting spaces, a full-service spa, six dining experiences and a beach club.
“We consider Zel to be a true Mediterranean embassy and look forward to introducing our lifestyle experience to Punta Cana,” said Gabriel Escarrer, chairman and CEO of Meliá Hotels International. “Together with Rafa, we decided to embark on this adventure to share our worry-free values and warm culture with our guests around the world. The Caribbean is a destination with an abundance of its own special charm that perfectly complements the Zel brand, creating a holiday retreat unlike any other.”
