The VIP Lounge in Terminal B2 has the widest access of any PUJ lounge — SkyTeam, DragonPass and oneworld status all get you in — and it's airside near gate 29 with a dedicated children's play area, making it the most flexible pick for families and status travellers alike.

The VIP Lounge near gate 24 in Terminal B is the cleanest Priority Pass option at Punta Cana — airside after passport control and security, with tropical, contemporary decor and runway views. A reliable membership entry if you're departing from the B gates.

How to get into lounges at PUJ.
Every lounge at Punta Cana is part of the airport's own VIP Lounge brand, and access is spread across the major lounge memberships rather than airline-branded suites. Priority Pass is the most broadly useful card here, DragonPass and the SkyTeam and oneworld alliances open the Terminal B2 lounge, and the Terminal A lounge sells walk-in entry to any passenger. Always check which terminal and gate area your lounge sits in before you clear passport control.

Know before you go.
Match the lounge to your gate
- —All three PUJ lounges are airside and tied to a specific gate area — pick the one nearest your departure gate before you clear passport control.
- —The Terminal B2 lounge (gate 29) and the Terminal B gate-24 lounge are separate spaces with different access rules, so don't assume one card covers both.
- —If you're flying from the Terminal A side, the gate-16 VIP Lounge is your only on-pier option.
Know which card gets you in
- —Priority Pass is the safest single membership at Punta Cana — it covers the Terminal B gate-24 lounge and the Terminal A gate-16 lounge.
- —DragonPass and SkyTeam or oneworld status route you specifically to the Terminal B2 lounge near gate 29.
- —No membership? The Terminal A lounge sells walk-in entry to any passenger for a fee.
Travelling with family
- —The VIP Lounge in the Terminal B2 area has a dedicated children's play area, the most family-friendly option at PUJ.
- —It also has quieter corners that work for a bit of laptop time between the play space and the seating zones.
Give yourself time
- —Punta Cana is a busy leisure hub and passport control plus security can be slow at peak — clear the checkpoint first, then settle in.
- —Lounge hours run roughly 08:00–22:00, so confirm yours is open if you have a very early or late departure.
- —All lounges sit airside after passport control, so there's no landside option if you arrive extremely early.
