NEW YORK, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Puntacana Resort celebrated the launch of Tropical Living: Dream Houses in Punta Cana, edited by Naty Abascal with a foreword by Anna Wintour, a publication that explores the most beautiful residential projects at Puntacana Resort. The event, held at the iconic Rizzoli bookstore on Broadway, brought together architecture, design, and Caribbean history enthusiasts, along with owners and stakeholders from Puntacana Resort.

The event was hosted by Paola Rainieri de Díaz, CMO of Grupo Puntacana, who highlighted the emotional significance of the book. "This book was born out of love, and it is a tribute to the 55-year history of Puntacana, showcasing not only the most beautiful homes but also the original architecture of the region," stated Paola Rainieri.

Tropical Living: Dream Houses in Punta Cana narrates the evolution of the Puntacana Resort complex, from its beginnings to its transformation into a world-renowned luxury destination. Through stunning photographs by renowned Milanese photographer Guido Taroni, the book highlights how the homes in this Caribbean paradise seamlessly integrate with the natural landscape.

The book also emphasizes the influence of figures like Oscar de la Renta, who not only contributed to the architectural design of the region but also played a key role in the social and cultural growth of the community. In its pages, personalities such as Anna Wintour reflect on the legacy of de la Renta, who promoted educational and social initiatives that continue to transform the region.

The thirteen homes featured in the book reflect a diversity of architectural styles, ranging from Asian tropical to Spanish colonial, blending uniquely with the Caribbean environment. These projects are the result of the work of renowned architects and designers, including Oscar de la Renta himself.

During the evening, guests enjoyed music in tribute to the Dominican Republic, creating a tropical atmosphere in the heart of New York.
