The latest hotel and resort updates in Mexico, the Caribbean and beyond

Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts

Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts is kicking off the year with three major developments across Mexico, Spain and the Caribbean.

Notably, Bahia Principe Grand Tequila (Riviera Maya) is a newly opened, adults-only, all-inclusive resort designed as a living homage to Mexican culture, blending music, gastronomy, colour, and nightlife. 

Meanwhile, Bahia Principe Luxury Tenerife, the brand’s first adults-only property in the Canary Islands, has been fully reimagined with design and culinary influences rooted in Tenerife’s volcanic landscape and local culture.

Finally, Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana underwent an extensive overhaul with 820 renovated rooms, alongside upgraded dining, leisure, and social spaces.

Secrets Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort, an adults-only, all-inclusive haven, has reopened following a transformative renovation. 

All guest rooms were reimagined with a contemporary coastal design. Other highlights include a two-story Preferred Club building and a private beach club. Dining and social spaces were also refreshed.

Six Senses Crans-Montana

Six Senses Crans-Montana has introduced a brand-new Four-Bedroom Chalet, an exceptional retreat for luxury travellers seeking privacy and sophistication in the mountains. Accommodating up to eight guests, the chalet combines modern elegance with timeless character, providing a tranquil sanctuary surrounded by the stunning Swiss landscape.

Its facilities include a restaurant, an outdoor terrace, swimming pool with swim-up bar, gardens and fountains, a furnished central courtyard and a health and wellness centre. In addition, it boasts a fitness centre and a meeting room, providing a comprehensive offering to meet the needs of guests and customers.

Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit

Late last month Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit has completed an extensive suite renovation. The $30 million transformation of the resort’s Master, Parlour, and Grand Terrace suites, completed over a span of 12 months, debuted with a reimagined aesthetic that embraces a more modern expression of comfort and elegance. The design centres on creating brighter, calmer spaces that feel intimately connected to the natural beauty distinct to Riviera Nayarit. 

The renovated suites, all larger than 1,000 square feet, feature a sophisticated palette of sand, beige, cream, and warm wood tones, complemented by subtle green accents inspired by the surrounding landscape.
