This new adults-only resort will contribute 406 rooms and state-of-the-art MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events) facilities, further enriching Hyatt’s portfolio in this popular Caribbean destination. Managed by a Hyatt affiliate, the resort will be operated under a partnership with GSM Investissements Dominicana S.R.L., the current owner of the neighboring Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana.

A Luxurious Stay with Premium Accommodations

The Secrets Macao Beach Punta Cana will introduce a variety of room options to cater to diverse guest preferences. The resort will feature 406 rooms, including Junior Suites, Master Suites, and Presidential Suites, with a focus on providing an upscale, adults-only experience. Among the rooms, 111 will be swim-out suites, offering direct access to the resort’s pools, while 13 of these suites will be elevated as high-level panoramic swim-out suites, designed specifically for travelers seeking an exclusive and luxurious stay.

These accommodations will emphasize privacy, comfort, and premium amenities, ensuring that guests experience relaxation at its finest. The suites will be designed with contemporary elegance, featuring spacious layouts, high-end furnishings, and expansive views of the surrounding landscape.

Dining and Amenities: A World of Culinary Delights

At the heart of Secrets Macao Beach Punta Cana will be its diverse and sophisticated dining options. The resort is set to host nine restaurants and nine bars, offering a broad range of international cuisines and beverages. Among the dining experiences, a farm-to-table restaurant will stand out, offering guests dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients from the resort’s organic garden. This eco-friendly approach to dining will emphasize sustainable gastronomy and bring a fresh, locally inspired touch to the guest experience.

An exclusive dining venue will be available to Preferred Club members, providing them with access to curated menus and enhanced service. This adds a special touch for those looking for a more personalized dining experience while enjoying the stunning surroundings of the resort.

For those who prefer a more social setting, the resort will feature three pools, each offering a distinct experience. The main pool will be designed with a beach-club-inspired atmosphere, perfect for lounging and enjoying the warm sun. An activity pool will be provided for guests seeking entertainment and social interaction, with views of the ocean adding to the allure. A rooftop pool, available exclusively to Preferred Club members, will offer a serene and elevated experience, allowing guests to unwind in an intimate and tranquil environment.

Additionally, guests will benefit from the Unlimited-Luxury inclusions that Secrets Resorts & Spas is known for. These will include 24-hour room and concierge services, beach and pool service, premium spirits, and daily activities, creating a hassle-free and all-encompassing vacation experience. Evening entertainment will add an extra layer of excitement to the resort’s offerings, ensuring that guests have a variety of ways to unwind and enjoy their stay.

A Strategic Location and Seamless Integration with Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana

Situated next to the family-friendly Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana, Secrets Macao Beach Punta Cana will offer guests the unique opportunity to enjoy the amenities and facilities of both resorts. Guests will have access to all of the restaurants and activities across both properties, allowing them to experience a variety of dining, entertainment, and recreational options during their stay.

This integration between the two resorts offers greater flexibility and choice for travelers, as they can enjoy both the relaxed, adult-focused atmosphere of Secrets Macao Beach Punta Cana and the vibrant, family-oriented environment of Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana. This seamless access between the two properties is sure to appeal to guests traveling in groups or families, who can enjoy the best of both worlds.

New MICE Capacity for Business Travelers

In addition to catering to leisure guests, Secrets Macao Beach Punta Cana will offer enhanced facilities for business travelers and event planners. The resort will feature a convention center with a capacity of up to 1,000 guests, creating new opportunities for meetings, incentives, conferences, and events (MICE) in a scenic, beachfront setting. This addition will further elevate the resort’s status as a prime destination for both leisure and business travelers.

The convention center will be fully equipped with the latest technology and services to ensure that every event runs smoothly, while the picturesque surroundings will create a unique setting for corporate gatherings, incentive trips, and large conferences. Hyatt’s commitment to providing world-class facilities for MICE events reflects the growing demand for business-focused tourism in the Dominican Republic.

Hyatt’s Ongoing Expansion in the Dominican Republic

The opening of Secrets Macao Beach Punta Cana will continue to solidify Hyatt’s position as a leader in the Dominican Republic’s luxury all-inclusive market. This resort follows the recent openings of Secrets Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa and Dreams Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa in Miches, as well as the expansion in La Romana with the Secrets La Romana Resort & Spa and Dreams La Romana Resort & Spa. Further expansion is planned with the upcoming opening of Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana in late 2025, further cementing the company’s commitment to this rapidly growing tourism destination.

Hyatt’s decision to expand in the Dominican Republic, particularly with the Secrets Resorts & Spas brand, is a strategic move to cater to the increasing demand for luxury all-inclusive experiences in the region. The Dominican Republic continues to be a top destination for travelers seeking an adults-only, luxurious vacation, and Secrets Macao Beach Punta Cana will enhance Hyatt’s ability to meet these needs.

An Exciting Future for Hyatt in the Dominican Republic

With the planned opening of Secrets Macao Beach Punta Cana in 2026, Hyatt will further strengthen its relationship with GSM Investissements Dominicana S.R.L., bringing the highly acclaimed Secrets Resorts & Spas brand to Macao Beach, one of the Caribbean’s most celebrated beaches, as recognized by UNESCO. This new addition will not only boost Hyatt’s portfolio in the region but will also create a dynamic and diverse offering for both leisure and business travelers.

As the Dominican Republic remains a key market for Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection, the upcoming resort is expected to become a favorite among guests seeking a premium, all-inclusive, adults-only experience, while also providing new opportunities for business and event tourism.
