For years, Majestic Colonial Punta Cana has been a beloved cornerstone of the pristine, palm-fringed Bávaro Beach. Renowned for its friendly, family-like hospitality, its sweeping lagoon-style pool stretching the entire length of the property, and its dual-concept layout, the resort has earned a massive following of loyal, repeat guests.
However, after years of continuous operation, this legendary Caribbean sanctuary is receiving the ultimate glow-up. Majestic Resorts has announced a comprehensive $35 million investment dedicated to entirely modernizing the property, elevating the guest experience, and adding exciting new features that will change the way you vacation in Punta Cana.
Renovation Timeline: Closing and Reopening Schedule
To execute this massive transformation seamlessly, Majestic Resorts temporarily paused operations at the property:
- Operations Paused: April 2026 (Official resort closure logged April 29, 2026)
- Anticipated Reopening: November 12, 2026
During this closure window, skilled design teams and craftsmen are working to ensure the resort reopens with a fresh, contemporary aesthetic just in time for the peak winter holiday season.
