Bahia Principe to reopen renovated resorts in Jamaica & Tenerife

Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts will reopen two renovated all-inclusive resorts on Dec. 1, adding refreshed options for families and groups in Jamaica and Tenerife.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica, in Runaway Bay, and Bahia Principe Explore Costa Adeje, in Spain’s Canary Islands, will return following extensive renovations to guest rooms, restaurants, common areas and leisure facilities.

Both properties belong to the company’s Explore collection, which caters to families, friends and groups, with designs and programming inspired by their respective destinations.

“The reopening of these two hotels is a significant step for Bahia Principe, because it allows us to bring back two completely renovated strategic assets to our portfolio and strengthen our presence in Tenerife and Jamaica,” Julio Pérez, CEO of Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts, said.

“With these investments we renew our commitment to both destinations and consolidate a more competitive offering, elevating the customer experience through a proposition adapted to the evolution of demand and to the preferences of our customers.”

Jamaica: a focus on local culture

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica will reopen with 647 rooms, three swimming pools and seven restaurants, with dining options including international, Italian and Mongolian cuisine, alongside the Route 66 concept and casual venues.

The resort’s “Roots” concept draws on Jamaican heritage, incorporating the island’s culture into its design, dining and entertainment.

Programming will include live music, beach parties, dance classes, sports and Xaymaca The Show, a production exploring Jamaica’s history, music and rhythms.

Family facilities include a kids’ club, waterpark and creative workshops. Cycling tours and patois classes will offer additional ways to connect with the destination, while Bahia Principe Village will provide further leisure and entertainment options.

Tenerife: volcanic landscapes & Guanche heritage

In Tenerife, Bahia Principe Explore Costa Adeje’s redesign takes inspiration from the island’s volcanic scenery and Guanche heritage.

The resort will feature 471 rooms, three swimming pools — including an infinity pool overlooking the Atlantic Ocean — and four restaurants offering international, Italian and Mongolian cuisine, as well as poolside dining.

Activities will include games, crafts, live music and karaoke. A kids’ club for children aged four to 12 will combine creative programming with opportunities to learn about local culture.

Explore & Escape

The reopenings follow Bahia Principe’s rebrand, which organizes its portfolio around two collections: Explore for families and groups, and Escape for adults-only stays.

The company presented the updates at World Travel Market London, held Nov. 3–5, where it exhibited within the Hyatt Inclusive Collection space.

Bahia Principe operates through a 50/50 joint venture between Hyatt and Piñero, with its resorts forming part of Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection.
