Cap Cana is a 30,000-acre gated resort community, and Villa Espada's Fairway 5 address puts it in the heart of it. Every stay includes two 6-person golf carts, so both Jack Nicklaus courses, the beach clubs and the adventure parks are all reachable without ever getting in a car. Private transportation can be arranged, billed separately, for anything beyond the gates. Times below are approximate — golf-cart times inside Cap Cana, car times outside.
Punta Espada is on Fairway 5, and a second Jack Nicklaus course (Las Iguanas) sits inside Cap Cana. Beyond the gate, 17 courses in all lie within about a two-hour drive — from Puntacana Resort and Bávaro up to Cana Bay, then west to Casa de Campo and Juan Dolio. Tap the Golf filter on the map to see the full spread. Villa Espada guests play Punta Espada at member-guest discounted rates, booked by the butler. See published green fees →

Villa Espada sits directly on Fairway 5 of Punta Espada Golf Course in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic — the only private rental estate in Cap Cana with a direct fairway address. It is about 15 to 20 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), roughly 25 to 35 minutes door-to-door.
Juanillo Beach is about 1.6 miles (2.5 km) from the villa — roughly an 8-minute ride in one of the villa's two included 6-person golf carts.
The Cap Cana Marina — home to yacht charters, deep-sea fishing and waterfront dining — is about 3.3 miles (5.4 km) from the villa: roughly 12 minutes by car or about 17 minutes by golf cart.
The villa is on Fairway 5 of Punta Espada, so the closest course is the one outside the door; the clubhouse is about 3 minutes by golf cart. Las Iguanas, Cap Cana's second Jack Nicklaus Signature course, is about 2 minutes by golf cart. Corales and La Cana at Puntacana Resort are approximately 15 minutes by car, and Teeth of the Dog at Casa de Campo is about 90 minutes west.
No. Villa Espada includes two 6-person golf carts, and almost everything inside Cap Cana — both golf courses, Juanillo Beach, the beach clubs, Scape Park and the equestrian center — is reachable by cart. Private transportation can be arranged, billed separately, for trips beyond the gates.
