Bahia Principe Resorts Join World of Hyatt: Now Earn Points at more than 20 Sun-Soaked Escapes

From family-friendly stays in Punta Cana to adults-only escapes in Tenerife, World of Hyatt members can now earn and redeem points at participating Bahia Principe resorts, plus earn double points on stays for a limited time

 

CHICAGO (March 25, 2026) – Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced that World of Hyatt members can now earn and redeem World of Hyatt loyalty points at participating Bahia Principe properties. The collection joining the program totals approximately 12,000 rooms across more than 20 Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts-branded hotels in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Jamaica and Spain.

 

This milestone marks a step forward in the strategic joint venture between Hyatt and Piñero that manages Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts-branded properties and owns the Bahia Principe brand. With this integration, Bahia Principe becomes the ninth brand in Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection portfolio, expanding the ways World of Hyatt members can enjoy all-inclusive vacations across highly sought-after leisure destinations.

 

Javier Águila, President of Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection, said, “Bahia Principe has built over decades a strong reputation for warm hospitality, destination-rich resorts and experiences that bring people together, whether you’re traveling as a family, as friends or for a grown-up getaway. Welcoming these resorts into World of Hyatt gives our members more ways to experience the joy of all-inclusive travel, while continuing to build momentum behind our strategic joint venture with a key partner such as Piñero.”

 

Julio Pérez, CEO of Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts, said, “We are excited to embark on this new chapter as we become part of World of Hyatt: a program with more than 63 million members that will offer us unprecedented visibility and deeper penetration in key strategic markets.”

 

“This milestone takes place in parallel with the rebranding of Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts, through which we have reorganized our resorts around two core segments: adults-only and families. This evolution introduces Bahia Principe Escape, designed exclusively for adult guests, and Bahia Principe Explore, created for families and groups seeking shared experiences,” added Pérez.
