With so many beaches to discover, why not try someplace new? Dive into the unknown and unlock a world of possibilities. If you’re looking to embrace somewhere new on your next vacation, here are our recommendations to experience discovery.
Where to visit
Explore the idyllic Caribbean seascape of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and discover a vibrant way of life. With vast stretches of sun-soaked powder-white sand, swaying palms, and turquoise water, it’s a tropical paradise waiting to be explored. Taste the local rum, learn the basics of merengue, or swim beneath the surface to spot colorful fish.
Maui is the second-largest island in Hawaii and is known as “The Valley Isle” for its mighty mountain landscape. This island gem lures travelers from all over the world who want to experience world-famous beaches, sacred valleys, and the warm feeling of aloha. Each beach in Maui offers something different, from sugar-white sand to black volcanic sand. Countless adventures and breathtaking vistas await you in this paradise of the Pacific.
Where to stay

With six pools, 11 gourmet dining options, eight bars and lounges, and beachfront access, everything you need and more is within reach.

Located on 40 oceanfront acres of Kaanapali Beach, Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa offers unlimited activities and amenities in tropical luxury. Guests can enjoy a half-acre pool with a 150-foot lava tube water slide, sand bottom children's pool, exotic wildlife, a rooftop astronomy program, a Polynesian Luau, nine restaurants and lounges, and Maui’s only oceanfront full-service spa, the Spa Moana.
What to do
No trip to Punta Cana is complete without venturing into the warm, Caribbean water. Unleash your inner mermaid with a snorkel and catamaran experience. If snorkeling is a new experience for you, don’t worry, the tour guides will provide everything you need, from equipment to instruction on how to have a memorable experience. If you’re into scuba diving, you can spot colorful coral reefs to shipwrecks in the calm, clear waters. There’s plenty to do on land as well. Why not fly through the lush canopy on a zipline or take an off-road adventure? When you’re in Punta Cana, there’s no limit to what you can discover.
Explore the best of Maui from above with a helicopter tour. Did you know that 80 percent of the island can only be seen by air? Fly over the green rainforest, rushing waterfalls, and dramatic coastline. There’s so much more to discover from a bird’s eye view. However, if flying is not your thing, don’t worry, the Road to Hana or Hana Highway is another great way to explore the best of Maui. It’s the crown jewel of Hawaii driving tours and offers visitors dramatic ocean vistas, up-close views of waterfalls, and natural pools. Rent a car for the day or join a small group tour and let someone else drive. You can hop out of the car, explore the many stops along the way, and discover rainbow trees, volcanic rocks, and delicious local delicacies.
Expand your horizons and venture somewhere new. Where will discovery lead you?
