Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection continues to grow its Caribbean footprint with the official debut of Secrets Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa in the Dominican Republic. Designed as a luxurious, adults-only retreat, the resort combines elegant beachfront living, world-class amenities, and a focus on personalized experiences for travelers seeking an elevated all-inclusive vacation.

Located on the picturesque coastline of Punta Cana, Secrets Playa Esmeralda offers guests a mix of natural beauty and contemporary comfort. Its design blends modern Caribbean style with serene tropical surroundings, creating an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and relaxing. The launch marks another milestone for Hyatt as it continues to invest in high-end all-inclusive resorts across the region.

Luxury Amenities and Tailored Experiences

Secrets Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa was built to deliver a premium adults-only experience, with 250 well-appointed suites, each offering private terraces or balconies, ocean or garden views, and in-room luxuries like soaking tubs and rain showers. Select accommodations provide swim-up access, giving guests the opportunity to start their day with a dip right from their terrace.

Dining is a highlight, with multiple à la carte restaurants, international buffets, and casual beachfront venues offering flavors from around the world. Guests can enjoy everything from fresh Caribbean seafood to Mediterranean and Asian-inspired dishes, along with premium cocktails at a variety of bars and lounges.

The resort’s Secrets Spa by Pevonia offers a comprehensive wellness experience, including indulgent treatments, hydrotherapy circuits, and ocean-view cabanas for massages. Fitness enthusiasts will find a fully equipped gym, while daily programming features yoga sessions, water sports, and live entertainment to keep guests engaged throughout their stay.

A Strategic Step for Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection

The opening of Secrets Playa Esmeralda aligns with Hyatt’s long-term expansion strategy in the Caribbean and Latin America, focusing on destinations that combine natural appeal with strong tourism demand. Punta Cana, already one of the Dominican Republic’s most visited locations, continues to attract travelers seeking all-inclusive convenience without compromising on luxury.

By introducing Secrets Playa Esmeralda, Hyatt strengthens its adults-only offering in the region, catering to couples, honeymooners, and groups looking for a romantic or celebratory getaway. The property also participates in World of Hyatt, allowing loyalty members to earn and redeem points while enjoying a premium vacation experience.

Elevating All-Inclusive Travel in the Caribbean

The debut of Secrets Playa Esmeralda reflects the ongoing transformation of the all-inclusive segment. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection emphasizes personalization, high-quality dining, and immersive experiences. Guests are encouraged to explore the surrounding natural beauty, from white-sand beaches to local excursions, while still enjoying the comfort and service of a world-class resort.

With its combination of exclusive amenities, elegant design, and prime beachfront location, Secrets Playa Esmeralda is positioned to become one of Punta Cana’s most desirable luxury escapes. As Hyatt continues to expand its Caribbean presence, the resort sets a new benchmark for adults-only, all-inclusive hospitality in the Dominican Republic.
