Treat yourself to a spa day at Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa

Get your dose of vitamin D at Hideaway at Royalton Punta Cana
The winter blues combined with the stress of 2020 has got many of us feeling down. A great way to boost your mood is by catching some rays and soaking up some vitamin D (while wearing sunscreen, of course). Not only is vitamin D good for your mental well-being, but studies have shown it can also help improve your overall physical health. Get your much-needed dose of vitamin D at the adults only Hideaway at Royalton Punta Cana, a top-rated luxury resort that overlooks the world-famous shores of Bavaro Beach in the Dominican Republic. Kick back and relax on a sun lounger by the exclusive Hideaway beach section, order your favourite drink from the beachside wait service and stroll along the seemingly endless sand as you catch some rays.
