Featuring spectacular photography by Guido Taroni, the publication captures how the resort’s homes harmoniously coexist with the surrounding natural beauty. Through these pages, readers gain insight into the unique charm of this Caribbean paradise, where architectural innovation meets ecological mindfulness.

A significant highlight of the book is the tribute to Oscar de la Renta, whose influence extends beyond the design of the region to the cultural and social fabric of the community. Personalities like Anna Wintour share reflections on de la Renta’s legacy, including his pivotal role in fostering educational and social programs that have enriched the local area. His vision is interwoven into the DNA of Puntacana Resort, evident in every corner of its development.

The featured residences, spanning thirteen diverse designs, showcase an array of architectural styles such as Asian tropical and Spanish colonial. These masterpieces, crafted by acclaimed architects and designers—including de la Renta himself—demonstrate how luxury living can seamlessly blend with the vibrant Caribbean environment.

The launch event was a celebration of Dominican culture, with music creating a lively tropical ambiance amidst the New York City setting.
