Bahia Principe Joins World of Hyatt

Hyatt has announced that Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts has officially joined the World of Hyatt loyalty program, expanding the company’s all-inclusive portfolio with more than 20 properties across the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Jamaica, and Spain. This integration brings over 12,000 rooms into Hyatt’s ecosystem and marks Bahia Principe as the ninth brand within Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection.

The collaboration introduces a refreshed brand identity for Bahia Principe, dividing its resorts into two distinct segments: Bahia Principe Escape, designed for adults-only experiences, and Bahia Principe Explore, tailored for families. This repositioning aims to highlight differentiated offerings while aligning with Hyatt’s broader strategy of delivering personalized travel experiences.

Hyatt’s leadership emphasized the significance of this expansion, noting Bahia Principe’s reputation for warm hospitality and diverse resort experiences. Julio Pérez, CEO of Grupo Piñero, the parent company of Bahia Principe, underscored the opportunity to reach Hyatt’s 63 million loyalty members and strengthen the brand’s global visibility.

To celebrate the launch, World of Hyatt members can register for a limited-time promotion offering double points on qualifying stays at participating Bahia Principe resorts. Registration is open from March 24 through May 30, 2026, with eligible stays between April 1 and June 30, 2026. This incentive provides travelers with enhanced rewards while exploring newly integrated destinations.

Among the standout properties now available to members are Explore Esmeralda in Punta Cana, featuring renovated swim-up suites and Taíno-inspired design; Explore Legend, also in Punta Cana, with castle-themed entertainment and a family-friendly water park; Explore Akumal in Riviera Maya, offering access to a PGA golf course and multiple dining venues; Escape Tequila in Riviera Maya, an adults-only retreat with tequila-inspired nightlife; and Escape Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands, a sophisticated resort with volcanic-inspired architecture and infinity pools.

World of Hyatt members will earn five base points per eligible U.S. dollar spent at these resorts, with points counting toward elite tier status and Milestone Rewards. On-property elite benefits will also apply, and World of Hyatt Credit Card holders can earn up to nine points per dollar spent on Hyatt stays.

This partnership significantly expands Hyatt’s all-inclusive footprint, offering travelers more opportunities to combine leisure with loyalty rewards. For members planning summer getaways, registering for the double points promotion ensures maximum value while experiencing Bahia Principe’s newly rebranded resorts.

Enrise by Sayaji, Junagadh - Setting the City’s New Benchmark in Hospitality

~ The newest Enrise property opens in Junagadh with 24 keys, positioning itself as the ideal base for travellers exploring Gir National Park, Girnar Hill and Saurashtra’s rich cultural landscape ~

Junagadh, April 2026: Sayaji Hotels has announced the launch of Enrise by Sayaji, Junagadh, marking its debut in the culturally rich Saurashtra region. Located on Bhesana Road, the 24-key property expands the group’s growing Enrise portfolio and offers travellers a comfortable, well-connected base to explore one of Gujarat’s most historically significant destinations.

Steeped in history and heritage, Junagadh is a city where the past continues to shape the present. Its name, translating to “Old Fort,” reflects its deep-rooted legacy, anchored by the ancient Uparkot Fort, whose origins date back to the 4th century BCE. Just a short distance away lies the Ashokan Rock Edicts, inscribed in Brahmi script around 250 BCE, alongside a later Sanskrit inscription by Rudradaman I, considered among the earliest of its kind. The city’s architectural richness extends into the Nawabi era, exemplified by the ornate Mahabat Maqbara, known for its striking fusion of Indo-Islamic and European design influences.

Beyond its historical depth, Junagadh also serves as a gateway to some of Gujarat’s most iconic natural and spiritual landmarks. Girnar Hill, revered by both Hindus and Jains, rises dramatically from the plains and is home to hundreds of temples accessed via thousands of steps. Meanwhile, Gir National Park, approximately 80 kms away, remains the last natural habitat of the Asiatic lion. Together, these experiences make Junagadh a rare convergence of wildlife, pilgrimage and heritage tourism.

Enrise by Sayaji, Junagadh, is designed to complement this diverse travel landscape with thoughtfully planned accommodations and facilities. The property features 24 spacious 1-BHK villa-style rooms, each spanning 425 sq. ft., offering a sense of privacy and comfort well-suited for families and extended stays.

Dining is anchored by Momentt, the hotel’s multi-cuisine restaurant with 52 covers, while its event infrastructure includes Jewel, a 4,000 sq. ft. banquet hall accommodating up to 300 guests in a theatre-style setup. For outdoor celebrations, the expansive Vrindavan Lawn, spread across 15,500 sq. ft., can host up to 500 guests, making it ideal for weddings, social gatherings, and corporate events.

The hotel is conveniently located 15 km from Junagadh Railway Station, 55 km from Keshod Airport, and 130 km from Rajkot Airport, ensuring seamless connectivity for both leisure and business travellers.
