An affiliate of Hyatt Hotels Corp. has entered into a management agreement with Codelpa—the owner of Secrets Tides Punta Cana—for a family-friendly, all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana.
Expected to open in 2029, Hyatt Ziva Punta Cana will be one of the brand’s flagship properties and will have 650 guestrooms, including an adults-only building, along with family-friendly amenities. The new-build resort will be about 40 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport.
The property will further expand Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection presence in the Dominican Republic alongside the planned openings of Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana and Secrets Macao Beach Punta Cana in 2026. Hyatt’s portfolio currently includes 34 hotels and nearly 17,000 rooms in the country.
“We are thrilled to expand our portfolio with Hyatt with plans for Hyatt Ziva Punta Cana,” Alvaro Peña, president of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic-based Codelpa, said in a statement. “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 of Inclusive Collection at Hyatt.
Hyatt Ziva Punta Cana is expected to have a variety of dining options, including five specialty restaurants and a buffet serving international cuisine, along with a snack bar, coffee parlor, ice cream venue and a beach club offering food and drinks. Guests will also find six bars serving international and domestic spirits, as well as a spa juice bar.
Wellness offerings are expected to include a fitness center, yoga studio and outdoor gym. The spa will provide amenities such as sauna and steam rooms, a hammam, hydrotherapy circuit and relaxation lounge, along with a variety of spa treatments, a beauty parlor and a bridal suite for weddings.
The resort will have a water park and five pools, including an adults-only pool and a dedicated kids pool. Additional activities will include pickleball and tennis courts, a beach club, mini golf, fire pits, climbing walls, playgrounds, a ropes course and a bowling alley. A Kids Club and Teens Club will offer supervised programming throughout the day.
