Article arrow_drop_down

Inspirado pela energia do tênis e pelo estilo de vida ativo característico de Rafael Nadal, o ZEL Punta Cana abriu suas portas em março de 2025, um resort com tudo incluído que traz o espírito mediterrâneo ao coração do Caribe. A inauguração marca a primeira expansão internacional desta marca hoteleira desenvolvida pela Meliá Hotels International em parceria com o ex-tenista espanhol e se torna um novo destino para quem busca bem-estar, culinária de autor e experiências ao ar livre de frente para as águas azul-turquesa da Praia Bávaro.

A marca ZEL nasceu como um projeto conjunto entre Meliá e Rafael Nadal com uma ideia central: exportar o estilo de vida mediterrâneo por meio de uma experiência hoteleira que combina natureza, movimento e conexão. Após inaugurações em Maiorca e na Costa Brava, a ZEL inaugurou seu primeiro empreendimento fora da Espanha, na República Dominicana, que Nadal definiu como “um espaço para se sentir bem, ativo e livre”.

<!– –>

O próprio tenista participou da concepção do resort, contribuindo com sua visão do esporte como uma forma de equilíbrio físico e mental, e estendendo essa filosofia a todos os cantos do complexo.

Design biofílico e conexão com o meio ambiente

O ZEL Punta Cana possui 190 suítes distribuídas entre jardins tropicais, piscinas e trilhas de vegetação nativa. Os quartos foram projetados com a premissa de “vida ao ar livre”, com uma estética de inspiração mediterrânea, paletas de cores claras, materiais naturais e espaços que convidam você a abrir suas portas para o exterior. Destacam-se as Suítes Zel Swim-Up, com acesso direto à piscina a partir do terraço privativo, e as Suítes Master, pensadas para quem busca uma experiência mais espaçosa e confortável.

O coração do hotel é o seu pátio central, um espaço aberto para reuniões e socialização que captura o espírito dos pátios maiorquinos, com árvores frutíferas, fontes e áreas de estar.

Uma das principais ofertas do resort é o ZEL CLUB, um programa de bem-estar que oferece aulas de ioga ao nascer do sol, treinamento funcional, sessões de respiração, banhos de gelo e esportes aquáticos. Os hóspedes também têm acesso a quadras de tênis, um campo de golfe próximo e uma variedade de atividades para se reconectar com seus corpos e com a natureza.

E o melhor ainda está por vir: em janeiro de 2026, será inaugurado o Rafa Nadal Tennis Center, um complexo dentro do resort com cinco quadras de tênis, quatro de padel e seis de pickleball, além de uma academia de última geração, uma loja especializada e uma galeria com os troféus do tenista. O centro oferecerá clínicas e sessões de treinamento para todas as idades, ministradas por treinadores capacitados pela metodologia da Rafa Nadal Academy.

Oito espaços gastronômicos e uma praia exclusiva

A experiência gastronômica também tem lugar privilegiado. O hotel oferece oito restaurantes e bares que combinam sabores mediterrâneos com ingredientes locais. Entre eles está o PARDA, um buffet de cozinha fresca e sazonal; Nokyo, que funde técnicas japonesas com receitas ibéricas; e Tacorini, um cruzamento original entre a culinária grega e mexicana.

Além disso, o ZEL Beach Club, localizado a 10 minutos de ônibus do hotel, oferece um ambiente exclusivo à beira-mar com restaurante, bar e área de relaxamento para aproveitar a Praia Bávaro em um ambiente relaxado e organizado.

Este hotel opera no sistema all-inclusive, e suas tarifas refletem a exclusividade e o nível de serviço do resort.

Todas as estadias incluem acesso a todas as atividades de bem-estar, ofertas culinárias, traslados internos e experiências únicas que buscam restaurar o equilíbrio entre corpo e mente.

Presidents Cup 2026: Brandt Snedeker, Geoff Ogilvy named captains

Things are looking up for the Raiders as new regime delivers a solid NFL Draft

The Las Vegas Raiders just drafted 11 players, their biggest haul since 2007. Raiders fans may not remember that one, thanks to many hours of counseling and bar-sitting spent forgetting about JaMarcus Russell.They got one star player in running back Ashton Jeanty, and another starter in receiver Jack Bech. Bech catches everything and breaks tackles, and while he can’t stretch the field, he has to be in the lineup at this point because the Raiders don’t have much else besides Jakobi Meyers.AdvertisementTwo starters is not normally considered a very good draft haul, but general manager John Spytek and Pete Carroll are banking on the later draft picks’ traits and upside. After a relatively cautious approach to free agency, this is another sign that Spytek and Carroll just want to be more competitive this season before making a big push in […]

Canelo Alvarez scored his first major coup by making Jake Paul lose $200 million for an impossible fight

Instead of facing Canelo in a once-unthinkable clash, Jake Paul is now set to battle former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on June 28 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. While the bout with Chavez Jr. has generated interest, it pales in comparison to the historic payday Paul might have secured if a fight with Canelo had materialized. Like a sheikh! Canelo welcomed with flowers in Saudi Arabia ahead of his big fightEarlier this year, reports surfaced that Paul and Alvarez were in serious negotiations, inching toward a deal that could have sent shockwaves through both the boxing and entertainment worlds.However, that dream matchup unraveled when Canelo made a major career move of his own. Choosing a different path, Canelo signed a four-fight deal with His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, ensuring his schedule would be locked up for the […]
