Catalonia Montego Bay to Become Marriott All-Inclusive Resort

Marriott International has announced the signing of two all-inclusive resort agreements with Spanish hospitality company Catalonia Hotels & Resorts. 

The agreements include a Marriott Hotels All-Inclusive Resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica, and an Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort in Zanzibar, Tanzania, reinforcing Marriott’s continued expansion in the all-inclusive segment.

“These agreements represent a significant milestone in our all-inclusive strategy and demonstrate the strength of our relationships with experienced owners seeking to maximize value through Marriott’s globally recognized brands,” said Laurent de Kousemaeker, Marriott International’s Chief Development Officer, Caribbean and Latin America (CALA). 

“Catalonia already knows Marriott through its ownership of Renaissance Barcelona Fira Hotel, and we are delighted to expand our collaboration through two distinctive resorts in highly desirable leisure destinations.”

The Marriott All-Inclusive Resort in Montego Bay is expected to open in 2028 following the conversion of the former Catalonia Montego Bay. Located on a beachfront site near Sangster International Airport, the 522-room resort will feature 13 dining venues, three pools, approximately 12,917 square feet of meeting space, a spa, fitness centre, tennis and pickleball courts, a lazy river, and more than 2,130 feet of beachfront.

The second agreement will introduce an All-Inclusive Resort to Zanzibar, Tanzania under Autograph Collection Hotels. Expected to open in 2027, the new-build property is planned to feature 271 guestrooms and a wellness-focused guest experience. Planned amenities include multiple swimming pools, a spa, a theater, an oceanfront jetty with a seawater pool and bar, and a diverse culinary program with a variety of specialty restaurants. 

Catalonia currently owns, leases, and operates 82 hotels totaling more than 12,000 rooms. The company’s portfolio spans urban hotels throughout Europe and leisure resorts in CALA, including properties in Mexico and the Dominican Republic. 

Marriott continues to grow its portfolio across key leisure destinations worldwide. As of July 2026, the company has 38 all-inclusive properties across nine markets in the Caribbean and Latin America region under seven brands, with 16 properties representing 5,600 rooms in the development pipeline.
