i By January 28, 2025 No Comments

Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced today that Hyatt has entered into a management agreement with Anacaona de Inversiones for a new Hyatt Vivid branded flagship resort in the Dominican Republic that is expected to open by year end 2025.

Following the debut of the brand last year, the adults-only Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana will be the second resort in the brand.

“We are pleased to further strengthen the Hyatt Vivid Hotels & Resorts brand portfolio with Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana,” said Antonio Fungairino, Head of Development, Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection. “Hyatt’s continued brand expansion in the region, from the sought-after beach towns of Playa Esmeralda, Punta Cana, Cap Cana, and beyond, reinforces the Dominican Republic’s status as a premier destination for high-end hospitality, while reinforcing Hyatt’s leadership in the all-inclusive segment.”

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana will feature:

  • 500 guestrooms, including swim-out rooms;
  • an “impressive spa”;
  • indoor and outdoor gyms;
  • pickleball and tennis courts;
  • five specialty restaurants;
  • casual dining alternatives like a sports bar and a barefoot beach grill & bar;
  • a speakeasy jazz club;
  • four pools;
  • and a convention center that will be able to accommodate up to 1,000 guests.

“The Dominican Republic continues to see strong demand from travelers seeking immersive, experience-driven vacations,” said Anacaona’s Investor Relations. “The addition of Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana not only will strengthen Hyatt’s all-inclusive portfolio offerings in the destination but also meets the evolving needs of both loyal guests and new travelers looking for a fresh, modern resort experience in one of the Caribbean’s most desirable locations. As long-term investors in Punta Cana we are proud to allocate capital into its highly dynamic hospitality sector with Hyatt.”

Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana, alongside the recent opening of Dreams Cap Cana Resort & Spa, the strategic joint venture with Grupo Piñero for more than 20 Bahia Principe resorts, and the anticipated openings of Secrets Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa and Dreams Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa, will collectively expand Hyatt’s all-inclusive resort presence in the region by approximately 30 percent in 2025. These additions, and the opening of Secrets Tides Punta Cana in January 2024 and Hyatt Centric Santo Domingo in October 2024, further strengthen Hyatt’s brand footprint in the Dominican Republic.
