Punta Cana to Uvero Alto — the route

Uvero Alto lies about 40 km north of Punta Cana airport, a drive of roughly 45 minutes to an hour along the Boulevard Turístico del Este. It's one of the furthest resort clusters on this coast — past Bávaro and Macao — which is exactly why it feels so much quieter once you arrive.

The road is paved the whole way and the run is easy, but it's long enough that you'll appreciate an air-conditioned car with your luggage in the back rather than a shared van stopping at half a dozen other resorts first.

A quieter stretch of coast

Uvero Alto trades the buzz of central Bávaro for wide, wilder beaches and a more secluded feel. The resorts here tend to be adults-focused or premium all-inclusives, including Excellence Punta Cana, Excellence El Carmen, Dreams Macao Beach, Breathless Punta Cana, Live Aqua Beach Resort and Zoëtry Agua Punta Cana.

That seclusion is the draw — but it also means there's no public transport and nowhere nearby to grab a last-minute taxi. Arranging your transfer before you fly is the sensible move.

📍 Name your exact resort

Several Uvero Alto resorts share access roads and similar branding (the Excellence and Dreams properties, for instance). Enter the full resort name from your reservation so your driver delivers you to the right entrance after the longer drive north.

Why a private transfer suits Uvero Alto

On a 45–60 minute trip, the difference between a private transfer and an included shared shuttle is significant. A shared van waits to fill, then works its way north stopping at multiple resorts — your hour can easily become two. A private transfer leaves when you land and drives straight to your hotel.

For couples and families heading this far up the coast, the comfort and the time saved usually justify the modest fare over piecing together a cheaper option that doesn't really exist here anyway.

Vehicle options

🚗

Economy sedan

1–3 passengers, standard luggage. Comfortable for the hour-long run north.

🚙

Private SUV

1–4 passengers. More room to stretch out and store bags — a good family pick.

🚐

Minivan

5–8 passengers. The comfortable choice for groups heading to the same resort.

VIP / luxury

Premium vehicle to match the adults-only resorts up here.

At the airport

After immigration and baggage at PUJ's open-air terminal, walk out into arrivals and look for your driver holding a sign with your name. Don't engage with anyone offering rides as you exit — your booked driver will be waiting. If you can't find them, call the number on your booking confirmation first.

Common questions

How long is the transfer to Uvero Alto?
About 45 minutes to an hour, over roughly 40 km north of the airport on the Boulevard Turístico del Este. It's one of the furthest resort clusters on the coast, so allow a little extra at busy check-in times.
Why does Uvero Alto cost more than Bávaro?
It's simply further — around 40 km versus 20 km to Bávaro, so about twice the drive. Private rates start from around $48 per vehicle, still fixed and door-to-door with no per-person surcharge.
Which resorts are in Uvero Alto?
It's a quieter, more secluded stretch north of Macao, home to resorts such as Excellence Punta Cana, Excellence El Carmen, Dreams Macao Beach, Breathless Punta Cana, Live Aqua and Zoëtry Agua. The beaches are wilder and far less crowded than central Bávaro.
Is the road to Uvero Alto paved?
Yes — the Boulevard Turístico del Este is paved the whole way, so the drive is smooth. It's just long, which is why a comfortable private car beats a multi-stop shared van.
What if my flight is delayed?
Your driver tracks your flight and adjusts the pickup automatically within the platform's waiting policy, so a delay won't cost you your transfer.
