Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced that the company has entered into a management agreement with Anacaona de Inversiones for a New Hyatt Vivid flagship resort to open by year-end 2025 in the Dominican Republic.

Following the brand’s debut in 2024 in Cancun, Mexico, Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana will be the second Vivid resort designed for the next generation of all-inclusive travelers.

The Punta Cana property will cater to the needs of adult travelers seeking an enriching all-inclusive vacation experience that prioritizes flexibility over formality. The 500-room resort will feature locally inspired itineraries, experiential-driven programming and amenities that appeal to a modern, diverse set of guests seeking aesthetics-inspired resorts.

With a focus on living well, guests have access to an impressive spa, indoor and outdoor gyms, pickleball and tennis courts along with a juice and healthy snack bar. Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana will have four pools, swim out rooms and a quiet corner pool serviced by its own wet bar.

Five specialty restaurants will offer casual dining alternatives like a sports bar and a barefoot beach grill & bar and trendier venues like a speakeasy jazz club. The hotel will boast a convention center with a capacity of 1,000 guests.

“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.

He added, “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.”

“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 meet 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, a 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.
