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.

Napheesa Collier injury update: Lynx star, WNBA MVP favorite goes off for 32 points in return

Minnesota Lynx star and WNBA MVP favorite Napheesa Collier returned to action in style on Sunday with 32 points, nine rebounds, two assists and two steals in a 97-84 win over the Indiana Fever. Collier had been out since Aug. 2 due to a sprained right ankle. Collier looked a bit rusty early on, but once she found her groove the Fever had no answer for her. She made 11 of her 16 field goal attempts and got to the line for nine free throws. The Lynx won her 31 minutes by 24 points and lost the nine minutes she sat by 11. Collier's injury, which occurred during the Lynx's historic 53-point win over the Las Vegas Aces earlier this month, stirred controversy because it happened late in the third quarter with her team up by 43 points. Many wondered why Lynx coach Cheryl […]
