Hyatt Hotels Corporation and Parks Hospitality Holdings (PHH) have announced plans to introduce two new luxury properties in Mexico: Park Hyatt Riviera Maya and Grand Hyatt Los Cabos. Both developments, owned by PHH and scheduled to open in the second half of 2026, will showcase refreshed interpretations of the Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt brands in two of Mexico’s most prominent leisure destinations. The hotels will operate under an all-inclusive model, tailored to align with each brand’s distinct character while enhancing the overall guest experience.

The projects are designed to merge internationally recognised luxury branding with Hyatt’s strong appeal among high-end leisure, business, and group travellers. By integrating its established expertise in the all-inclusive segment, Hyatt aims to further reinforce its competitive position in the growing leisure travel market, particularly across key resort destinations in Mexico.

“At Hyatt, we’re continuing to evolve how our brands connect with travelers, ensuring they remain distinct and compelling,” said Javier Águila, President, Inclusive Collection, Hyatt. “Drawing on our deep expertise and leadership in elevated all-inclusive, we’re selectively bringing this model to these two new hotels, combining the ease of all-inclusive with the exceptional design, service and sense of place that define the Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt brands.”

The initiative highlights the aligned commitment of Hyatt and PHH to pursue carefully planned expansion in popular leisure markets, while developing resort properties that remain true to each brand’s identity and adapt to evolving modern travel behaviour.

“These two openings represent a defining moment—not only for PHH, but for Mexican tourism as a whole. With more than 11,000 hotel rooms across our portfolio, we have built this company on a deep, unwavering conviction in Mexico’s potential as one of the world’s premier destinations,” said Charles El Mann Fasja, CEO, Parks Hospitality Holdings. “Our collaboration with Hyatt is a natural expression of that conviction—and one we are truly excited about. Across our growing portfolio of more than 1,200 rooms with Hyatt, including Park Hyatt Riviera Maya and Grand Hyatt Los Cabos, we are bringing a new standard for luxury all-inclusive travel to two of Mexico’s most celebrated destinations, as part of a long-term relationship built on a shared commitment to excellence and authenticity. Park Hyatt Riviera Maya and Grand Hyatt Los Cabos are not just resorts; they are a statement of confidence in this country, in this industry, and in the guests who choose Mexico time and time again.”

Park Hyatt Riviera Maya: Luxury Reimagined on Mexico’s Caribbean Coast

Scheduled to open by late 2026, Park Hyatt Riviera Maya will be positioned along a quiet, untouched stretch of Mexico’s Caribbean shoreline between Cancún and Puerto Morelos. The development is set to introduce a refreshed interpretation of luxury all-inclusive hospitality, blending Park Hyatt’s signature residential style with immersive destination-driven experiences.

Rather than focusing on scale or spectacle, the property is designed around space, calm, and refinement. The concept will prioritise understated elegance, personalised attention, and a deep sense of place that runs through architecture, cuisine, and guest experience.

Secluded Setting within a Private Coastal Enclave

The resort will be located inside AMAI, an exclusive coastal enclave accessed through a dense mangrove corridor that gradually transitions into open ocean views. This natural approach is intentional, creating a clear separation between the outside world and the resort environment.

The arrival experience will be designed to slow the pace immediately. The landscape, soundscape, and layout will work together to establish a sense of retreat. Even when operating at full capacity, the resort is expected to maintain an atmosphere of openness, with carefully planned spacing between villas, walkways, and social areas to avoid congestion.

Architecture Rooted in Mexican Craftsmanship

Design across the property will avoid overt thematic styling and instead draw directly from Mexican craft traditions. Materials, textures, and finishes will be sourced and interpreted through collaboration with regional artisans.

Stone, wood, woven elements, and handcrafted details will shape the visual identity of the resort. Furniture and interior elements will reflect contemporary luxury while remaining grounded in local cultural expression. The intention is not to replicate tradition, but to evolve it into a modern coastal aesthetic that feels authentic and location-specific.

Residential-Style Accommodations with Ocean Views

The property will feature 148 guestrooms and suites, all oriented towards the Caribbean Sea. The design language will follow Park Hyatt’s residential approach, focusing on comfort, space, and functionality rather than formal hotel styling.

Several accommodation categories will include private plunge pools or full-sized swimming pools, extending living spaces outdoors. A standout feature will be a 2,300-square-foot penthouse, offering a higher level of privacy and expanded interior volume for longer or more exclusive stays.

The overall accommodation strategy will focus on livability, encouraging guests to settle in rather than simply stay overnight.

Personalised Service with Dedicated Guest Support

Service will be structured around a dedicated Resort Ambassador model, ensuring each guest receives individual support from the pre-arrival stage through to departure.

This system will remove traditional friction points often associated with luxury travel, including repetitive requests or procedural delays. Instead, guest needs will be anticipated and managed in advance, creating a seamless experience where logistics are largely invisible.

The focus will be on consistency, discretion, and responsiveness, allowing guests to shape their stay without administrative interruption.

Culinary Programme Built Around Seven Dining Concepts

Food and beverage will form a central pillar of the resort experience. A chef-led programme will operate across seven distinct dining venues, each offering a separate culinary identity.

Dining will follow an à la carte format throughout, with a strong emphasis on refined Mexican cuisine, particularly coastal seafood traditions. Global influences will be incorporated selectively, ensuring balance rather than dilution of regional identity.

Morning service will begin in a dedicated coffee space featuring curated Mexican coffee selections. As the day progresses, dining will shift between relaxed beachfront settings, intimate indoor restaurants, and evening cocktail experiences at The Botanist bar.

A structured wine programme led by sommeliers, alongside premium spirits curation, will run across all venues, reinforcing a consistent level of quality.

Wellness, Leisure, and Coastal Recreation

The wellness concept will be integrated into the natural rhythm of the resort rather than positioned as a separate facility. A beachfront pool area will feature private cabanas, designed for extended relaxation and ocean-facing comfort.

An open-air spa garden will provide treatment spaces that prioritise privacy and immersion in nature. Daily wellness programming will support restorative experiences, combining movement, mindfulness, and coastal environment interaction.

Guests will also benefit from preferred access to El Tinto Golf Course, expanding leisure options beyond the resort boundaries. Indoor and outdoor event spaces will be embedded within the landscape design, ensuring they complement rather than dominate the environment.

Grand Hyatt Los Cabos: A High-Energy Coastal Resort for Leisure and Events

Set to open later this year, Grand Hyatt Los Cabos Resort, Golf & Spa will be located within the Oleada Pacific Living & Golf community in Cabo San Lucas. The property will introduce a larger-scale all-inclusive experience focused on social energy, group travel, and destination celebrations.

The design approach will reflect bold Baja coastal architecture, combining open spaces, natural light, and contemporary resort styling. The positioning will align with the Grand Hyatt brand’s focus on dynamic hospitality environments suitable for both leisure travellers and large-scale gatherings.

Spacious Accommodation with Swim-Out Options

The resort will include 301 guestrooms and suites, comprising 244 standard rooms and 57 suites. Within this mix, 42 swim-out rooms will provide direct pool access, enhancing the resort’s water-focused leisure offering.

Accommodation types will range from one-bedroom suites to a large 4,602-square-foot Presidential Suite designed for high-end stays. Many rooms will include private pools, plunge pools, or deep soaking bathtubs.

Interiors will focus on natural coastal tones, marble-finished bathrooms, and open layouts designed to maximise light and airflow. Balconies and terraces will extend living spaces outward, reinforcing the oceanfront experience.

Event Infrastructure for Large-Scale Gatherings

A defining feature of the resort will be its extensive meetings and events capacity. More than 20,000 square feet of indoor space will be available, supported by outdoor gardens and flexible open-air venues.

The design approach will reflect a balance between functionality and visual appeal, making the property suitable for corporate events, destination weddings, and large group functions. The spaces will be adaptable, allowing configurations that shift between formal and social use.

Diverse Dining and Social Venues

Culinary programming will include five à la carte restaurants and five distinct bar environments. Each venue will offer a different atmosphere, ranging from casual beachfront dining to more refined evening concepts.

The dining portfolio will include a steakhouse, Italian restaurant, pan-Asian venue, and a market-style café. Social spaces will include rooftop cocktail bars, poolside lounges, and a discreet speakeasy designed for evening entertainment.

This structure will allow the resort to transition naturally from daytime relaxation to active nightlife experiences without leaving the property.

Leisure Facilities and Family-Friendly Design

Located minutes from central Cabo San Lucas, the resort will offer direct beach access alongside a wide range of recreational facilities. An 18-hole Ernie Els-designed golf course will serve as a key attraction for sports-focused travellers.

Additional amenities will include a fitness centre, pickleball courts, and dedicated kids’ and teen clubs, reinforcing the resort’s multi-generational appeal.

Multiple swimming environments will be available, including adults-only pools, infinity-edge family pools, beachfront swimming areas, and a dedicated splash park designed for younger guests.

Spa and Wellness Inspired by Baja Traditions

The spa complex will include 12 private treatment rooms and a full wellness programme inspired by regional healing traditions and natural landscapes.

Facilities will feature hydrotherapy circuits, steam and sauna experiences, and a traditional temazcal structure used for ritual cleansing and renewal. The wellness philosophy will focus on restoration through both modern techniques and culturally rooted practices.

Hyatt’s Expanding Luxury Footprint in Mexico

These two developments form part of a broader expansion strategy across Mexico’s luxury and lifestyle hospitality segment. The openings follow Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol and Alila Mayakoba, with Park Hyatt Mexico City also expected to debut in the near term.

At the same time, the reopening of Secrets Mirabel Cancun Resort & Spa after a full renovation reinforces the strength of Hyatt’s all-inclusive portfolio in the region.

Collectively, these projects signal a sustained push toward differentiated hospitality experiences, combining high-end design, destination integration, and evolving all-inclusive concepts across key Mexican markets.
