Your perfect beach read and getaway has never been easier thanks to the recent teaming of Apple Vacations and book experts at Belletrist. The new program, aptly called Pages in Paradise, launches at the luxurious Dreams Macao Beach in Punta Cana, with beach book of the month picks shared by Belletrist founders Emma Roberts and Karah Preiss with help from Penguin Random House.
The program features a new curated library, menu of literary-inspired cocktails and books served poolside during the new Reading Happy Hour. The lobby library will welcome guests in the new year with beach read selections curated by Belletrist book experts. Highlighted books of the month and favorites will also grace the shelves, including Priya Guns’ Your Driver is Waiting, Emma Cline’s The Guest and Zadie Smith’s The Fraud.

Guests who book with Apple Vacations can reserve beach reads in advance, delivered upon arrival by the hotel team.
The hotel will also host its dedicated Poolside Pages Happy Hour featuring a cart of select reads and a themed book-of-the-month specialty cocktail called the Pages Pour, served to guests at the infinity pool. Don’t miss the blueberry mojito inspired by Happy Place by Emily Henry or the Sea Breeze, a drink seen in Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Malibu Rising.
To celebrate the launch of Pages in Paradise, Apple Vacations launches its Pages in Paradise giveaway in January 2024. One lucky winner receives a trip to Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana complete with a signed copy of the January book of the month, Holding Pattern by Jenny Xie. Enter here.
