CHICAGO (Feb. 1, 2024) – Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced the opening of Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres, the latest Inclusive Collection, part of World of Hyatt resort to open in Mexico. The 507-room, adults-only resort further strengthens Hyatt’s leisure portfolio throughout the Mexican Caribbean, with continued growth expected throughout 2024.
Situated along a secluded strip of idyllic, oceanfront coast touting an expansive and pristine white-sand beach, Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres guests begin their on-property experience with cobblestoned walkways and juxtaposing fire and water installations upon entering the second-story open air lobby featuring a grand archway made from natural materials with earthy tones. Guests can choose to stay on property or explore the town, with only a short ferry ride to the nearby island of Isla Mujeres or Isla Contoy National Park, one of Mexico’s protected parks, offering one of the most enchanting experiences in the Mexico Caribbean, including reef snorkeling. Also within close proximity is the Playa Mujeres Golf Course, a Greg Norman signature 18-hole course with exceptional ocean and tropical views, as well as the Puerto Cancun Shopping Centre.
“We take great pride in further solidifying the Inclusive Collection’s position in Mexico through the debut of Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres,” says Erik van der Kaaij, General Manager of Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres. “We offer our guests the breathtaking views and romantic inclusions they have come to expect at a Secrets resort, while differentiating ourselves with our secluded location that provides a serene atmosphere of relaxation without sacrificing opportunities to venture off property, with a plethora of nearby options to explore some of Mexico’s hidden gems.”
Opening in a three-phased approach over the next six months, guests can expect the spa, fitness center, and theatre to be fully operational by June of 2024.
