Update: Hyatt officially added Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts to its portfolio on March 24, 2026.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

If you're a World of Hyatt<\/a> loyalist, you have a few new ways to use your points. Beginning March 24, 2026<\/strong>, Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts will participate in the World of Hyatt program. That means members will be able to earn and redeem points at 22 all-inclusive resorts in the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, and Spain.<\/p>\n

Here's what you need to know about the integration.<\/p>\n

Bahia Principe to Join the World of Hyatt Portfolio<\/span><\/h2>\n

Starting March 24, 2026<\/strong>, when you stay at a Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts location, you'll be able to earn World of Hyatt points, work toward status, and redeem points for your stay. You'll earn 5 base points per $1 spent, with an additional 4 points per $1 if you are a The World of Hyatt Credit Card<\/a> (Rates & Fees<\/a>) or World of Hyatt Business Credit Card<\/a> (Rates & Fees<\/a>) holder.<\/p>\n

You'll also earn credits toward tier status and Milestone Rewards, along with a credit toward a Brand Explorer Award<\/a>. For those unfamiliar, the Brand Explorer Award is a free night given for every five unique Hyatt brands you experience, which now includes Bahia Principe properties. World of Hyatt elites<\/a> will enjoy on-property benefits, including late checkout and room upgrades, subject to availability.<\/p>\n

Bahia Principe will follow the standard Hyatt all-inclusive award chart. This means free nights start at just 12,000 points during off-peak dates. However, you'll need to check each property's category on its official Hyatt page, which will be released when booking is made available. Some properties will be in a higher category than others.<\/p>\n

Until individual property pages are made available, you can learn more about the partnership on the World of Hyatt and Bahia Principe landing page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/span><\/h2>\n

It's always nice to have new ways to earn and redeem your World of Hyatt points. The World of Hyatt all-inclusive portfolio was already strong, but having additional options throughout the Caribbean and Europe can't hurt. Within the Bahia Principe portfolio, you'll find a mix of family-friendly and adults-only destinations. Each is lively and comfortable, set against a stunning tropical backdrop. And starting March 24, 2026<\/strong>, you'll be able to enjoy World of Hyatt benefits during your Bahia Principe stays.<\/p>\n
