Sunwing's Exclusive Hotel Partner, CHIC Punta Cana, Launches DJ Workshops


TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - June 23, 2015) - New for this fall, one of Sunwing's most innovative Caribbean adults only resorts is launching a unique experience for music fans and wannabe performers alike. Where Las Vegas' inimitable sass and style meet Miami's South Beach urban vibe in an incomparable tropical location, CHIC Punta Cana is the latest in a series of cutting edge hotels around the world selected by the DJ Dispensary as a venue for their unique retreats.

Perfect for anyone who has secretly always wanted to wear headsets and learn how to master the dials and switches in the DJ stand, Sunwing's new DJ retreats at CHIC Punta Cana promise to turn complete beginners into novice DJs at the end of the 3-day course.

Offered in partnership with the DJ Dispensary, any would be 'Sasha' or aspiring 'Calvin Harris' will rub shoulders with some of the industry's most seasoned artists as they learn the basics during the master class. Run by veteran DJ Matty Wainwright, whose career highlights include a residency at the world's first underwater club in the Maldives and a stint consulting for MTV Asia, the DJ Dispensary's 3-day retreat is led by experienced DJs with a minimum of 15 years industry experience who have performed at leading venues across the world from London's Ministry of Sound to Ibiza's legendary Café Mambo. Along with lessons in theory and practical sessions to master techniques such as beat matching, equalizing sound and cueing, participants will also get the opportunity to perform a live set in front of an audience.

The concept perfectly complements the Sunwing Adults Collection™ resort that has swiftly earned a reputation for its day to night party ambience ranging from pool parties with live sets performed on the DJ central island to lavish beach BBQs where guests enjoy Cirque-style arts and performances from the resort's house dancers, the CHIC Angels.

When guests are not engaged in the workshop, they can unwind on the resort's white sand beach or at the extensive pool complex, where private cabanas are available. Or indulge in a rejuvenating massage or facial in the lavish spa with hydrotherapy circuit. The resort also offers gourmet dining at five à la carte restaurants, an Oxygen Bar and a "Culinary Experience" chef's table.

Along with beautifully-appointed suites with the designer DreamBed™, 24-hour concierge services, complimentary Wi-Fi, rain shower heads and in-room liquor dispensers, guests could also opt to stay in the opulent CHIC Mansion. The perfect venue for a bachelorette party, special event or reunion, this stunning 10,500 square foot private home offers six guestrooms, seven bathrooms, a private pool, private Jacuzzi, fully-stocked premium bar and lounge, full kitchen, dining room, BBQ, wine cellar and pool table together with the services of a private chef and butler.

The first DJ Dispensary workshops will take place at CHIC Punta Cana from September 24th - 26th and September 27th - 29th.

A week's stay at CHIC Punta Cana is available from $845 plus $425 taxes per person, based on two people sharing a Luxury Room on an all inclusive basis and departing from Toronto on September 21, 2015. Price does not include the cost of the DJ Dispensary workshop; for more information on availability and prices please visit sunwing.ca or contact your travel agent.
