All of Hyatt Inclusive Collection’s Newest Openings

With more than 55,000 rooms across Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe, Hyatt Inclusive Collection (HIC) has become a significant player in the all-inclusive resort market. 

The portfolio started with relatively humble beginnings. Formerly AMResorts, it launched in 2001, had 17 hotels across four brands by 2010, and rebranded as the Inclusive Collection in 2022. Since then, it’s been full steam ahead as HIC has grown to more than 140 resorts across 11 distinct brands. The recent Playa Resorts acquisition, which alone added 15 all-inclusive resorts, and Bahia Principe deal, which added 21, only furthers HIC’s foothold in the space. 

In an interview with Travel Market Report from early this year, Shyla Gardner, Hyatt’s vice president of commercial services for Latin America and the Caribbean, told us that HIC aims to “look for different niches and different audiences that we can design product for.” 

As a result, the expectation is that this portfolio will only continue to grow, and we have details on the latest openings and those soon to come. 

In addition to the new resorts below, these properties have been recently refreshed or are currently under renovation: 

• Secrets Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort‘s renovations are expected to be complete in December 2025 and feature refreshed guestrooms, a reimagined Preferred Club, an updated Secrets Spa, and enhanced entertainment and dining.  
• Zoëtry Agua Punta Cana will temporarily close beginning in July to undergo an extensive enhancement project. Upon reopening in November 2025, the resort will have a refreshed, modern look that incorporates its natural surroundings, as well as upgraded suites, reimagined dining experiences, and redesigned guest spaces crafted with locally sourced materials.  
• Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun is currently undergoing a transformation of its restaurants and Preferred Club lounge. It is expected to be completed in November.  
• Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta and Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos both recently unveiled projects that fully renovated the lobby and accommodations, expanded culinary offerings, reimagined KidZ Club for ages 4-12 with engaging activities, and elevated the event spaces.
