Vancouver, British Columbia → Cap Cana · Dominican Republic
Cap Cana Golf Villa
Vancouver (YVR) connects to Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) with one stop through major North American hubs. Punta Cana is one of the most-connected airports in the Caribbean, so options are plentiful, particularly across the December-to-April winter season. Your private transfer from PUJ to Villa Espada takes about 15–20 minutes from the airport gate — and your first tee time at Punta Espada is already booked at the member-guest discounted rate.
Villa Espada is a 6- or 8-bedroom private estate on Fairway 5 of Punta Espada Golf Course — ranked #1 in the Caribbean and Mexico by GolfWeek for eight consecutive years. Your full staff is waiting: private chef, personal butler, daily maid service, and two six-person golf carts. The first tee is a short walk from your villa door.
Vancouver golfers play through a mild but wet winter, and the appeal of guaranteed Caribbean sun and dry-season conditions is a strong draw for a West Coast escape.
Cap Cana pairs championship oceanfront golf with a fully staffed private villa — a rare combination that rewards the longer journey from British Columbia with a stay where everything is handled for you.
Home courses for Vancouver golfers include Capilano, Marine Drive, and Shaughnessy — superb layouts, but none with 8 holes directly on the Caribbean Sea carrying Jack Nicklaus's signature.
Punta Espada's 8 oceanfront holes play directly above and alongside the Caribbean. The trade winds shift every hole, and the par-3s over open sea are among the most photographed tee shots in golf. Because Villa Espada sits inside the Cap Cana resort with walking access to the first tee, you experience the course the way members do — not as a hotel guest who booked a tee time.
4 rounds across 3 world-ranked courses. Villa Espada staff handle every tee time, transfer, and caddie arrangement. You just play golf.
Vancouver Travellers — whether a golf foursome, a multi-generational family, or a corporate group — value the combination of a straightforward journey and a fully staffed private estate. Villa Espada's 6- or 8-bedroom capacity and Punta Espada access make it a natural Caribbean escape.
Two foursomes, 6 or 8 bedrooms, member-guest tee times, golf carts at the door, concierge booking for a Teeth of the Dog day trip.
Golf Packages →Executive golf outings, client entertainment, and leadership events with the privacy, exclusivity, and golf access private groups look for — all under one roof.
Corporate Packages →6 or 8 bedrooms, two private pools, chef service — the golfers play while the rest of the family enjoys one of the Caribbean's safest gated resort communities.
Family Packages →While the golfers in your group are playing Punta Espada or Las Iguanas, non-golfers have a full day of activities within Cap Cana's 30,000-acre gated resort community. Juanillo Beach — consistently ranked among the best beaches in the Dominican Republic — is a short golf cart ride from Villa Espada. El Dorado Park is a few minutes away, and Scape Park offers zip lines, cenotes, and cave exploration for the adventurous.
The Cap Cana Marina features deep-sea fishing charters, waterfront restaurants, and boutique shopping. Your private chef prepares breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the villa using locally sourced ingredients, and your personal butler coordinates every detail — from restaurant reservations to excursion bookings to spa appointments. For groups travelling with families, the combination of world-class golf and resort-quality amenities makes Cap Cana the rare Caribbean destination where everyone in the group has an exceptional experience.
There are no regular nonstop flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Punta Cana (PUJ); the trip is typically a one-stop connection through a major North American hub. Punta Cana is one of the most-connected airports in the Caribbean, so connecting options are plentiful, especially during the December-to-April winter season.
The Dominican Republic runs on Atlantic Standard Time and does not observe daylight saving. Cap Cana is four hours ahead of Vancouver in winter and three hours ahead in summer, so an overnight or morning arrival works best for a West Coast trip.
Villa Espada is about 15 to 20 minutes from the PUJ airport gate and roughly 25 to 35 minutes door-to-door. A private airport transfer is included with every stay, so your driver meets your flight and brings you straight to the villa.
