Hyatt's loyalty program, World of Hyatt, has been and continues to be a favorite among points and miles circles. The properties are routinely top-notch, Hyatt Globalist elite status benefits blow the competition out of the water, and the points continue to hold strong value — unlike the constant dilution of other currencies.
Today, we're looking at Hyatt's best points redemptions for luxury properties. Let's see just how much value you can extract from your World of Hyatt points.

How To Use This Data to Get a Great Deal
AwardWallet crunched the numbers from thousands of reservations to compile a list of the eight best-value luxury Hyatt properties worldwide that you can book with World of Hyatt points. We used this data to calculate the following averages for each property:
- Number of points per night
- Cash cost per night
- Cents per point (CPP)
Cents per point (or “cpp”) is significant, as it's a handy way to compare various redemptions head to head. To calculate cpp, take your cash savings (what the stay would cost when booked with cash minus any taxes/fees on an award stay) and divide by the number of points charged. You can learn more about how it works in our post about how to calculate point and mile values.
On average, AwardWallet users redeem World of Hyatt points for 2.19¢ apiece. To get the best value from your World of Hyatt points, look for redemption opportunities offering more than 2.19¢ per point.
The eight properties in the list below stand out because AwardWallet members have redeemed points for much better than average value — an average of at least 3.39 cents per point. Just note that not every redemption at these properties will provide that much value. So double-check the math before redeeming points at these properties.

8 Best Hyatt Redemptions for Luxury Stays
Now, without further ado, here are the top eight best-value Hyatt redemptions for luxury stays.
Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa
The Maldives is an expensive place to visit, but less so when you redeem Hyatt points for a stay at the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa. On average, AwardWallet users have redeemed their points for more than 5 cents apiece at this property, which crowns this Park Hyatt as the brand's best-value luxury redemption.
Thanks to Hyatt's static award chart, you can snag a free night at the Category 7 Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa starting at 25,000 Hyatt points. Standard award nights cost 30,000 points each, and the award price balloons to 35,000 points per night on peak dates.
Ultimately, it might be worth saving your points for this aspirational redemption. After all, few hotels look as fantastic as the Park Hyatt does.
AwardWallet tracked 35 reservations over 180 nights:
- $1,565.69 average cash price per night
- 28,389 average points per night + $45.58 average out-of-pocket cost (which might have been due to Hyatt Points + Cash bookings)
- 5.68 cents per point average redemption rate
Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa
The Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa is located in beautiful Beaver Creek, Colorado. If you've searched for the best places to ski in Colorado or a luxury hotel to spend some time at stateside, you've likely come across this property — or at least seen photos of it.
But if you've gone to book a stay at the Park Hyatt and been scared away by the price tag, there's even more of an incentive to book with points. On average, AwardWallet users have enjoyed redeeming points for 4.55 cents apiece at this property, which is over double what users typically redeem Hyatt points for.
The Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa is a Category 8 property, meaning free nights in standard rooms on off-peak dates start at 35,000 points.
AwardWallet tracked 27 reservations over 105 nights:
- $1,711.09 average cash price per night
- 38,476 average points per night + $39.26 average out-of-pocket cost
- 4.55 cents per point
Hyatt Centric Faneuil Hall Boston
While it might seem like an unlikely inclusion, the Hyatt Centric Faneuil Hall Boston has commanded our attention. And if the $600+ average nightly rate might suggest anything, this Hyatt Centric is close to all the action in downtown Boston.
Off-peak nights are hard to come by, but you'll redeem 21,000 points per night when you can snag one. As AwardWallet users can attest, your points will go mighty far at the Category 6 Hyatt Centric Faneuil Hall Boston: 3.73 cents per point on average.
AwardWallet tracked 31 reservations over 69 nights:
- $697.16 average cash price per night
- 19,978 average points per night + $47.06 average out-of-pocket cost
- 3.73 cents per point
Alila Villas Uluwatu
Ever since I started collecting points and miles, I've been wowed by what you can do with World of Hyatt points in Indonesia — particularly in Bali. On the luxury side of things, the Alila Villas Uluwatu is a great example of fantastic value sitting right out in the open.
On redemptions at this property, you can enjoy the property's expansive pools, views, and five-star service without paying much out of pocket. Plus, AwardWallet users have routinely enjoyed more than 3 cents per point of value at the Alila Villas Uluwatu, which is commendable in and of itself.
During off-peak dates, you can reserve a room at the Category 7 Alila Villas Uluwatu starting at 25,000 points per night.
AwardWallet tracked 23 reservations over 66 nights:
- $1,070.77 average cash price per night
- 29,924 average points per night
- 3.58 cents per point
Grand Hyatt Vail
Like the first Colorado-located resort on the list, the Grand Hyatt Vail has a hefty cash price for stays. And like the other property, there's also great value in putting your World of Hyatt points to work.
Even if you're not in town to ski, your points — based on AwardWallet user averages — are worth about 3.45 cents apiece at the Grand Hyatt Vail. Redeeming points for a free (or nearly free) night on off-peak dates is especially valuable, as you can book a room at this Category 7 property starting at 25,000 points per night.
AwardWallet tracked 362 reservations over 1,127 nights:
- $921.96 average cash price per night
- 26,732 average points per night
- 3.45 cents per point
The Cape, a Thompson Hotel
If you're planning a stay in Cabo San Lucas, listen up. The Cape, a Thompson Hotel, is worth visiting and redeeming points at. You'll enjoy a stellar cent-per-point value — 3.44 cents apiece on average — and can enjoy plenty of what Baja California Sur offers without breaking the bank.
The Cape is a Category 7 property, so you can find award nights starting at 25,000 points. However, you'll have to be flexible with your dates, as most nights out of the year reflect standard (30,000) or peak (35,000) pricing.
AwardWallet tracked 142 reservations over 448 nights:
- $934.31 average cash price per night
- 27,150 average points per night
- 3.44 cents per point
Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono
If a “luxury mountain retreat” sounds like fun, you'll want to move swiftly and redeem points for a night (or three) at the Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono. You'll find this elegant Hyatt property in Hokkaido, Japan. By the looks of it, you won't get bored staying here. Complete with outdoor activities, culinary experiences, and more, this Park Hyatt is worth a stop on your next Japanese vacation.
The Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono is a Category 8 property, so prepare to redeem at least 35,000 World of Hyatt points per night.
AwardWallet tracked 42 reservations over 113 nights:
- $1,335.47 average cash price per night
- 39,407 average points per night
- 3.39 cents per point
Park Hyatt Paris-Vendome
Given how many nights AwardWallet users have stayed at the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendome, it's likely safe to say that this property is a fan favorite. Situated near the Palais Garnier and adjacent to the Louvre, the Park Hyatt has allowed award travelers to save on expensive cash rates and enjoy 3.39 cents apiece worth of value from their points.
Whether paying cash or redeeming Hyatt points, nights at Category 8 properties aren't cheap. As the story goes, free (or nearly free nights) start at 35,000 World of Hyatt points. Worth it? Definitely.
AwardWallet tracked 708 reservations over 2,099 nights:
- $1,248.04 average cash price per night
- 36,898 average points per night
- 3.39 cents per point
Boost Your Hyatt Points Stash With Credit Cards
Outside of staying at a Hyatt hotel or Homes & Hideaways property, you can earn World of Hyatt points in three primary ways:
- Transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards or Bilt Rewards points to World of Hyatt at a 1:1 ratio.
- Buying World of Hyatt points.
- Earning a welcome bonus and spending on a World of Hyatt credit card.
No matter which way you spin it, it's entirely possible to earn a lot of Hyatt points. Depending on your credit card strategy, it could make sense to pick up an Ultimate Rewards-earning card, pay rent with The Bilt Mastercard®, or outfit your wallet with a Hyatt co-branded card.
