Family-friendly Hyatt Ziva to open in Punta Cana in 2029

Hyatt Hotels Corporation says a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a management agreement with Codelpa, the existing owner of Secrets Tides Punta Cana, for a family-friendly all-inclusive resort, Hyatt Ziva Punta Cana.

Expected to open in 2029, the new build will be one of the brand’s flagship properties and will feature 650 guestrooms, including an adult-only building, as well as family-friendly amenities ideal for all ages – all 40 minutes from Punta Cana airport.

“We are thrilled to expand our portfolio with Hyatt with plans for Hyatt Ziva Punta Cana,” said Alvaro Peña, president of Codelpa, in a press release.

“Following the successful debut of Secrets Tides Punta Cana, we look forward to expanding the Hyatt Ziva brand in Punta Cana, complementing Hyatt’s growing brand presence in the region and offering a family-friendly experience on the destination’s white sand beaches.”

“We are delighted by the trust placed in us by a valued owner like Codelpa, and by the opportunity to further strengthen our already solid portfolio in the Dominican Republic added Javier Águila, president, Inclusive Collection, Hyatt.

“Hyatt currently has 34 hotels – 32 of them all-inclusive resorts – and nearly 17,000 rooms in the country. This is a clear reflection not only of our scale, but also of our long-standing commitment to a destination that is central to our past, present and future strategy in the Caribbean.”

Hyatt Ziva Punta Cana is expected to feature five specialty restaurants and a buffet serving international cuisine, as well as a snack bar, coffee parlor, ice cream venue, and a beach club serving food and drinks, while kids will have the ability to experience an interactive food & beverage experience.

Additionally, six bars will serve international and domestic spirits, while a juice bar will be available at the spa.

The property is expected to feature a fitness centre, yoga studio, and an outdoor gym, while the spa will feature amenities such as sauna and steam rooms, a hamman, hydrotherapy circuit, and a relaxation lounge.

The resort will be home to amenities for guests of all ages, including a water park, as well as five distinct pools, including an adults-only pool and a dedicated kids pool, the company says.

For those seeking additional activities, pickleball and tennis courts will be available for guests of all ages, while a beach club will serve food and drinks throughout the day.

Kids will be able to join the Kid’s Club and Teen’s Club, which will offer supervised activities throughout the day.

For all ages, family experiences range from mini golf, fire pits, climbing walls, playgrounds, a ropes course and a bowling alley.

Hyatt Ziva Punta Cana will further strengthen the Inclusive Collection portfolio in the destination with the planned openings of Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana and Secrets Macao Beach Punta Cana in the region in 2026.
