The Hottest New Caribbean Resorts
The Caribbean has never been a more popular region of the world to visit, and there are some exciting new resorts that will be celebrating their grand openings soon, from a luxurious resort on trendy Isla Mujeres to a highly anticipated sustainable private island oasis in the Dominican Republic.
Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets, Mexico
Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets opened on May 26 as a luxury resort in the heart of the trendy Caribbean island escape. Taking luxury to heart, each suite offers butler service as well as a private terrace or balcony.
As part of the Inclusive Collection, the 125-suite resort is also available with discounts and other benefits for Hyatt Rewards members.
Cayo Levantado Resort, Dominican Republic
Located on the island of Cayo Levantado just off the coast of the Dominican Republic, Cayo Levantado Resort offers the private island oasis vibes with modern sustainable advancements in mind.
The five-star resort opened on June 1 and features a wellness-centric concept called A Rhythm All Its Own. Each guest chooses their own wellness path from four different offerings to make the most of their personalized stay: REFRESH, RESTORE, RELAX and RENEW.
Kimpton Grand Roatan Resort and Spa, Honduras
Opening sometime this summer, the Kimpton Grand Roatan Resort and Spa will be a luxurious island paradise. It’s located on the island’s Iron Shore, promising beautiful ocean views alongside the world’s second largest barrier reef system.
The modern resort will feature the Kao Kamasa Spa, four dining options, a beachside infinity pool — and a pet-friendly policy, so you can bring your furry loved one with you to the beach!
Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai, Mexico
Opening sometime later this summer is the first EDITION-branded resort in Latin America: the Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai.
This resort features 180 rooms and suites with a fascinating curved exterior design that towers above the natural landscape. It will offer a beautiful beach and beach club, six food and beverage outlets, spa and great access to the region’s ancient and natural wonders.
The Westin Beach Resort & Spa at Frenchman’s Reef, St. Thomas
Opening this July is the highly anticipated Westin Beach Resort & Spa at Frenchman’s Reef in St. Thomas. While the resort itself isn’t new, it’s been completely rebuilt following its devastation after hurricanes Irene and Maria in 2017.
The rebuilt resort will feature five dining and drinking venues, a beach, the Westin’s branded Heavenly Spa and a pet-friendly policy for travelers with furry friends.
Zemi Miches All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton, Dominican Republic
Set to open in 2024, the 502-room Zemi Miches All-Inclusive Resort will be Hilton’s first Curio Collection property in the Dominican Republic and the tenth all-inclusive property in the Caribbean and Latin America.
The resort will offer a water park, nine dining areas, a spa and fitness center, as well as 15,000 square feet of meeting and event spaces. It will also feature 18 freestanding beach bungalows for travelers wanting a bit more privacy.
Bonus: Morningstar Buoy Haus Beach Resort at Frenchman’s Reef, St. Thomas
The newly opened Morningstar Buoy Haus Beach Resort celebrated its grand opening on May 18 following a six-year closure and complete renovation following its devastation from the hurricanes of 2017. Part of the Autograph Collection, it features direct beach access and shared amenities with the neighboring Westin Beach Resort & Spa.
The resort, which is the largest in all of St. Thomas, represents the island’s return to popularity among resort-goers and is expected to help its recovery from the pandemic.
