Lopesan to open three Punta Cana resorts anchored by new casino property

Lopesan Hotel Group is expanding in Punta Cana with three new resorts scheduled to open in late spring 2026, including a casino-led flagship that signals continued investment in integrated leisure and gaming offerings in the Caribbean.

The expansion centers on the Bávaro area and is positioned as a multi-property complex with distinct guest segments, ranging from adults-only to family travel, connected by shared entertainment and dining infrastructure.

Casino-led flagship anchors the new phase

The headline opening is Lopesan Caoba Lagoon Resort, Spa & Casino, which the company is marketing around a “Flow” concept built on large lagoon and pool environments. The property is also designed to support group and events business, including a convention center offering flexible meeting and celebration spaces.

A key investment marker is wellness capacity. The plan includes a 16,000-square-foot spa with 31 treatment rooms, signaling a premium positioning that can support year-round demand beyond peak holiday cycles.

Shared “Boulevard” aims to create a campus effect

The development is structured so multiple resorts feed into a central promenade called The Boulevard, built as an open-air dining, bar, and nightlife spine. That shared infrastructure is designed to keep guests inside the Lopesan ecosystem across properties, supporting higher on-site spend and smoother cross-sell into entertainment, including gaming.

Adults-only and family resorts broaden the demand mix

Lopesan Serenity Bay is positioned as adults-only with 239 suites in a single modern building, while still granting access to complex-wide entertainment that includes an 820-seat theater, a nightclub, and the casino. Lopesan Splash Cove is designed for families with 244 rooms and multiple pools, with beach access about 720 meters from the resort.

Booking window and pricing signal the commercial push

A limited-time 10% introductory discount is offered for bookings made through February 28, 2026, for travel between June 1 and December 23, 2026. The next marker will be booking velocity through that window and whether the casino-led positioning becomes a central pillar of marketing once the properties open.
