Hyatt Hotels Corporation has expanded its Inclusive Collection with the debut of Dreams Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa, a new family-friendly all-inclusive property located along the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic.

Nestled in the still-developing region of Miches, the resort is the latest addition to the Dreams Resorts & Spas brand and sits alongside its sister property, the adults-only Secrets Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa, which opened its doors on August 1.

“Dreams Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa invites families and multigenerational travellers to relax, reconnect, and discover the beauty of the Dominican Republic,” said Ángel Medina, general manager, Dreams Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa. “Blending warm Dominican hospitality with the all-inclusive ease that defines the Dreams Resorts & Spas brand, we’ve created a place where every detail inspires connection.”

Designed to appeal to families and multigenerational travellers, it offers 500 rooms and suites; rooms feature garden, pool or oceanfront views while select suites offer direct swim-out access. In-room amenities include spacious bathrooms with rain showers and double vanities, and Pharmacopia Natural Bodycare bath products.

Guests can upgrade to the Preferred Club for additional services, premium suite locations, dedicated butler service and exclusive lounge and pool access. The Preferred Club Presidential Suite offers a large oceanfront layout with private kitchen, jet pool terrace and sweeping views of the Caribbean.

Dining is central to the experience with 10 restaurants and seven bars. Guests can enjoy international flavours without leaving the property, including South American dishes at Tierra, Mexican cuisine at El Patio, and a Dominican-inspired menu at 1844 Dominican Cuisine.

A lively Public Square connects Dreams Playa Esmeralda with its neighbouring Secrets property. This shared hub acts as a social and entertainment centre, offering dining, shopping, and nightlife venues where families and adult travellers can mingle, while still preserving the tailored experiences unique to each resort.

For families, the resort offers dedicated kids’ and teens’ clubs, plus a full waterpark with slides and splash zones. Parents can relax by three pools, enjoy fitness facilities, or visit the Secrets Spa, which features massage cabins, a hydrotherapy circuit, bridal suite and full-service beauty salon. Outdoor activities take advantage of the surrounding natural attractions, with opportunities to explore the limestone cliffs of nearby Los Haitises National Park, take photos at Montaña Redonda (known for its panoramic swings), or spot whales at Samaná Bay.

For milestone celebrates and events, Dreams Playa Esmeralda also offers 15,000 square feet of event space. Couples can choose seaside ceremonies or ballroom receptions, with customizable packages managed by the on-site wedding team. The property’s connection to neighbouring Secrets Playa Esmeralda also allows groups to combine family-friendly stays with adults-only experiences in one destination.
