Miches: Escape and Rejuvenate
Miches is a lush natural environment. The roadsides are pristine and well-kept. Getting to any Miches destination by taxi from PUJ is a breeze. Most people flying into Punta Cana never make it to Miches. That’s a mistake! I
t’s one of the last stretches of the island that still feels untouched. With very little wind and absolutely no sargassum on the beach, it is a destination focused on delivering luxury to its guests with an emphasis on conservation. Here, you can also catch a beautiful sunset!
Where to Stay In Miches?
Zemi Miches encapsulates what a 5-Star All Inclusive should feel like: accommodating, thoughtful & purposeful. Service is impeccable, and the grounds are perfectly maintained. There are no waves, and the water is inviting for anybody who wants to dip in the ocean. A beautiful sandbar is accessible by walking to the right of the bungalows.
Or, if you’re adventurous like me, swim out to the sandbar from the main beach. Here, the ocean floor is full of clay, so it’s recommended to reach down and grab a handful for a natural face mask. While you sun yourself on one of the serene beach chairs and sip an ice cold pina colada with your face mask, take in the splendour of Playa Esmeralda.
Zemi Miches takes pride in delivering what guests expect. If a guest has a certain room in mind, the Hotel has it: from detached, private, adults-only bungalows with expansive sunny outdoor showers and private pools, to king-sized rooms in the main complex. The architecture is beautiful, and upon entering Zemi Miches Resort, guests are welcomed with a unique, fresh, clean scent which immediately evokes relaxation.
Restaurants range from Seafood, Mediterranean, Italian, and Asian-inspired cuisine to authentic Dominican cuisine, to name a few. The food is decadent. Jaguar Restaurant is exclusive to Bungalow guests and stands out as one of the resort’s top restaurants.

Top Tier Cigar Bar – Havana Bar for Adults Only
Havana Bar is an upscale space where you can enjoy premium cigars with your favourite drink in a sophisticated, relaxed atmosphere inside Serra. Serra also holds other secrets; a room that looks like lockers actually hides a doorway to an ultra-private cocktail lounge! What looks like a room full of lockers is actually the gateway to one of the property’s most private, exclusive rooms.
