Hilton is calling crowd-weary travelers back to the Caribbean with the opening of Zemi Miches Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort. The newest member of Hilton’s Curio Collection, the property is in the lesser-known coastal town of Miches, about 90 minutes north of Punta Cana. It marks the first all-inclusive Curio Collection property, part of the Hilton Honors program, in the Dominican Republic.
Zemi Miches Punta Cana aims to provide not only a place to rest your head, but also an immersive cultural experience. The design of its 500 guest rooms, suites and bungalows reflects cultural elements from the Taino people, the Indigenous people of the Caribbean. Taino cuisine is the focus of one of the resort’s 14 restaurants and bars, which also feature Thai, Italian, Caribbean live-fire cooking and a food hall to please every palate.
Located on a 2,000-foot stretch of secluded Playa Esmeralda, the resort offers equipment like paddleboards, kayaks and snorkel gear for guest use. You can also relax by one of the pools or fire pits.
While the adults play, kids can enjoy their own playtime at the kids club, and the hotel plans to open a teen club in August. Also set to debut in August is the 16,000-square-foot Taino-inspired Acana Spa, which will offer massage and skin treatments, a hair salon, a hydrotherapy water garden and more.
For guests who venture beyond the resort, the town of Miches has relatively undisturbed, uncrowded beaches. This area offers all the water activities you’d expect in the Dominican Republic, from snorkeling to seasonal whale watching tours, but with thinner crowds. Plus, you can explore the region’s beautiful terra firma via excursions to Los Haitises National Park, horseback rides, mountain bike expeditions and more.

How to book
Zemi Miches Punta Cana is celebrating its debut with a special offer when you book by Aug. 31: Enjoy up to 40% off per night, a $50 credit per stay and a room upgrade based on availability for stays through June 30, 2026 — no minimum stay required.
With this deal, all-inclusive room rates for two adults start at $500 in the fall shoulder season or $858 in peak months like January and February.
Currently, the only award availability we’ve seen is for premium room rewards. Basic rooms don’t seem bookable with points yet, but that may change.
For example, you could book a partial ocean view room in October for $539 or 202,000 Hilton Honors points per night for a value of 0.3 cents per point. That’s much lower than TPG’s June 2025 valuation of 0.5 cents for Hilton points, so you may be better off paying cash and earning Hilton points on your stay.
