Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana is opening in August 2026 as the first Hyatt Vivid resort in the Dominican Republic — and will immediately establish itself as one of the most talked-about new properties in the Caribbean. Set in the peaceful Cabeza de Toro enclave, this design-forward adults-only resort occupies a rare dual-waterfront position: facing the turquoise Caribbean Sea on one side and the still, reflective Bávaro Lagoon on the other. The result is a stay where every time of day has its own mood, light, and atmosphere.

The 467 rooms and suites are refined and deeply grounded in the natural textures of the Dominican Republic — earthy tones, handwoven finishes, spa-style bathrooms, and private balconies or terraces that frame lush gardens, the ocean, or the lagoon. The resort's architecture weaves native Dominican elements, natural materials, and modern comfort into a cohesive aesthetic that feels genuinely of its place. Rooms come with fully stocked daily-refreshed mini bars, 24-hour room service, and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi. For guests seeking the ultimate expression of the resort, the Vantage Club offers 69 exclusive suites — including swim-out access, ocean panoramas, and the crowning Presidential Suite atop the building.

Dining at Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana is shaped by the brand's defining philosophy: flexibility over formality, local inspiration over generic all-inclusive fare. Nine distinct venues span the full range from gourmet à la carte specialty restaurants to a globally inspired food hall, grab-and-go stations, a poolside snack bar, a lively sports bar, and a barefoot beach grill. The standout is the speakeasy jazz club — an intimate, vintage-inspired cocktail venue near the lobby that sets the tone for evening energy unlike anywhere else at the resort. No reservations are ever required at any dining venue.

Activity programming here is genuinely ambitious. El Huerto, the resort's on-site eco garden, is a one-of-a-kind experience that grounds the property in its Dominican surroundings — a gastrobotany workshop where herbs and plants grown on-site are transformed into a hand-to-table culinary experience. Pottery classes, paint-and-sip sessions, cocktail-making workshops, golden hour socials, and beachfront bonfires layer creativity and connection into a daily schedule that invites participation without obligation. Five pools, pickleball and tennis courts, kayaking, archery, yoga, and a full wellness spa complete a lineup that makes it genuinely easy to stay active, stay still, or move fluidly between the two.

Just 22 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport and five miles from Downtown Punta Cana, the resort's location balances serene enclave seclusion with convenient access to upscale shopping, local markets, and the broader energy of the destination.

Note: Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana opened in December 2025. Specific restaurant names are described below by venue type as confirmed by Hyatt. As the resort settles into operations, restaurant names will be confirmed through the World of Hyatt app and the resort's official dining page at: Dining & Drinks
