Today, I’m thrilled to unveil the all-new Secrets Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa, an adults-only, all-inclusive paradise nestled along the untouched coastline of Playa Esmeralda in Miches — one of the Dominican Republic’s most breathtaking and emerging eco-destinations. This exciting addition to Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection redefines romantic and luxury travel with elevated experiences, indulgent accommodations, and unforgettable natural beauty.
🌴 Where Romance Meets Nature
Discover 500 sophisticated suites, each featuring a private balcony or terrace — many with swim-out access and breathtaking ocean views. Every detail has been curated for comfort and connection, from luxurious bedding and spa-inspired bathrooms to 24-hour room and concierge service. Preferred Club guests enjoy even more: exclusive lounge access, private beach areas, butler service, and the crown jewel – the Presidential Suite with its own kitchen, jet pool, and panoramic sea views.
🍽️ World-Class Dining & Cocktails
Led by Executive Chef Carlos Quijano, indulge in 11 unique dining experiences and 7 vibrant bars, including Doña Altagracia, the signature restaurant celebrating Dominican flavors with elevated dishes like stewed goat risotto and traditional mofongo.
💆 Rejuvenate Your Senses
Relax at the serene Secrets Spa, managed by wellness expert Jenny Castillo. From full-body rituals and custom facials to locally inspired treatments with ingredients like aloe vera and coconut, this spa sanctuary is a must-experience. The Master Spa Cabin provides a private, luxurious setting for couples and solo guests alike.
⚓ Adventure, Wellness & Exploration
Stay active with tennis, beach volleyball, snorkeling, Spanish classes, kayaking, and intro scuba lessons. For the adventurous, explore Miches with excursions like Montaña Redonda’s mountaintop swing, mangrove kayaking at Los Haitises, hiking to Salto La Jalda waterfall, or seasonal whale watching in Bahía de Samaná.
🐢 A Resort with Purpose
Aligned with Hyatt’s World of Care sustainability platform and in partnership with Promiches, the resort is helping protect endangered sea turtles with a new beachfront nesting site.
💍 Unforgettable Weddings & Events
Whether it’s a beachfront ceremony or a business retreat, Secrets Playa Esmeralda offers 15,000+ sq. ft. of event space, including a grand ballroom and outdoor venues. Expert planners ensure every detail is seamless and every celebration unforgettable.
