What celebrities stay in Punta Cana?

Punta Cana is a tropical paradise for many celebrities, who use it as a vacation destination. Celebrities like Beyonc?, Jay Z, Mariah Carey, Carolina Herrera and Julio Iglesias are some who enjoy the crystal clear beaches, white sand and tropical climate that the island offers.



Punta Cana remains a premier celebrity sanctuary in 2026, with stars particularly drawn to the exclusive gated community of Cap Cana. High-profile residents and frequent visitors include Julio Iglesias and Shakira, both of whom have owned homes in the region. Mariah Carey famously rang in a recent New Year at a $250,000-a-week estate in Cap Cana, while Beyoncé and Jay-Z are known to frequent the ultra-private villas at Casa de Campo (nearby in La Romana). For resort stays, Eden Roc at Cap Cana and Zoëtry Agua Punta Cana have hosted A-listers like Leonardo DiCaprio and Gwyneth Paltrow. Sports icons like Michael Jordan and LeBron James are also regular visitors to the island's world-class golf courses. The allure for these stars in 2026 is the "superstar treatment" combined with intense privacy; many of the luxury villas offer private chefs, dedicated butlers, and "no-fly" security zones, allowing celebrities to enjoy the white sands of Playa Juanillo or the Chavón River without the presence of paparazzi.
