“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, in a release.  “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, which will have 500 rooms, promises to meet the needs of adults seeking an enriching all-inclusive vacation "that prioritizes flexibility over formality, according to a press release. 

The 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 will have access to a spa, indoor and outdoor gyms, pickleball and tennis courts all serviced by a juice and healthy snack bar.

Guests can also enjoy five specialty restaurants, casual dining alternatives like a sports bar and a barefoot beach grill & bar and also trendier venues like a speakeasy jazz club.

The hotel will boast a convention centre with a capacity of 1,000 guests. Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana will have four pools, swim out rooms and a quiet corner pool serviced by its own wet bar.

“The Dominican Republic continues to see strong demand from travellers seeking immersive, experience-driven vacations,” said Anacaona’s Investor Relations, which will manage the resort. “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 travellers 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 Dreams Cap Cana Resort & Spa, a 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 expand Hyatt’s all-inclusive resort presence in the region by approximately 30 per cent in 2025.
