How One Hotel Company Quietly Built the World's Biggest All-Inclusive Empire
Hyatt's Inclusive Collection now spans 150+ resorts and 55,000 rooms after a string of acquisitions — and it's still growing.
Hyatt Inclusive Collection has grown into the largest all-inclusive resort portfolio in the world, and the pace of expansion shows no signs of slowing down. Through a series of aggressive moves over the past two years, the company has assembled a network of more than 150 resorts and 55,000 rooms across Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, and now the Middle East.
The transformation started with Hyatt's $2.6 billion acquisition of Playa Hotels and Resorts, completed in mid-2025. That deal brought established brands like Hyatt Ziva, Hyatt Zilara, and Secrets Resorts fully into the fold. Then came the joint venture with Spain's Grupo Pinero, which added Bahia Principe Hotels — 23 resorts and more than 12,000 rooms across Mexico, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and Spain.
New Brands and New Markets
Hyatt has also been building new brands from scratch. Hyatt Vivid Hotels, aimed at younger travelers, is preparing to debut with properties in Punta Cana and Cancun. And in late March, the company opened Miraval The Red Sea in Saudi Arabia — the first Miraval property outside the United States.
The company recently hired a new Vice President of Global Development for the Inclusive Collection, bringing over a senior executive from Melia Hotels International with more than 25 years of experience and 350-plus hotel deals on her resume. The hire signals that Hyatt is looking to accelerate development even further.
For travelers, the scale matters. All properties in the Inclusive Collection are connected to World of Hyatt, meaning points earned at a Dreams Resort in Riviera Maya can be redeemed at a Hyatt Regency in Tokyo. That loyalty integration has been a key differentiator as the all-inclusive segment grows more competitive, with Hilton, Marriott, and IHG all pushing into the space.
