Summary: The drive from Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ) to Majestic Mirage Punta Cana is about 25–28 km and typically ~24–30 minutes by car. The smoothest option is a pre-booked private transfer (meet & greet, fixed price, direct ride). Taxis are available on site; Uber operates but airport/resort pickups can be sensitive; buses are cheapest but impractical with luggage; rental cars are fine if you truly want to drive.
