Hyatt Hotels Corporation has officially opened the doors to Dreams Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa, a brand-new all-inclusive beachfront resort nestled along the untouched northeast coast of the Dominican Republic. Joining its sister property, Secrets Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa, the launch marks a significant expansion of Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection, offering a nature-rich, family-friendly escape designed for multigenerational travellers.
A Nature-Infused Caribbean Retreat
Located in the emerging destination of Miches, the resort introduces guests to a quieter, more scenic side of the Dominican Republic. With 500 rooms and suites, including swim-out options and Preferred Club upgrades, Dreams Playa Esmeralda blends tropical tranquillity with elevated comfort. Guests enjoy plush interiors, Pharmacopia Natural Bodycare amenities, and panoramic sea views from select suites.
Culinary Exploration and Shared Experiences
Led by Executive Chef Carlos Quijano, the resort features ten restaurants and seven bars, offering global flavours from South American cuisine at Tierra to reimagined Dominican dishes at 1844 Dominican Cuisine. At the heart of the resort lies the Public Square, a vibrant village-style hub shared with the adjacent Secrets property, where guests can dine, shop, and gather.
Families and adults alike benefit from seamless access between both resorts, allowing tailored experiences while still coming together for shared moments.
Designed for Families, Built for Connection
Dreams Playa Esmeralda is purpose-built for families, with dedicated clubs for kids and teens, a thrilling waterpark, and three pools including a family-friendly option. Parents can unwind while children engage in supervised activities, from beach games to creative workshops.
Wellness seekers can retreat to the Secrets Spa, featuring massage cabins, hydrotherapy circuits, and a bridal suite, while fitness enthusiasts enjoy a fully equipped gym.
Celebrating Nature and Sustainability
Surrounded by ecological treasures like Montaña Redonda, Los Haitises National Park, and Salto La Jalda, the resort offers immersive excursions that showcase the Dominican Republic’s natural beauty. In partnership with Promiches, the resort has installed a protected sea turtle nesting area, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability through Hyatt’s World of Care platform.
Guests can snorkel along the reef just steps from the shore, home to turtles, reef fish, and even manatees.
A Destination for Milestones
With over 15,000 square feet of event space, Dreams Playa Esmeralda is ideal for weddings, corporate retreats, and milestone celebrations. Couples can choose from seaside ceremony spots or the elegant Miches Ballroom, supported by a dedicated on-site planning team.
