True Luxury Is to Experience Happiness

Merriment, Made to Order

Here’s a primer in pleasure: where exotic beachside peace and vacation variety intersect, you’ll always find Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts. Offering top-shelf hideaways for all tastes, their Instagram pic-perfect properties are purposefully classed with a mind to satisfy every traveller. The Luxury line promises exclusivities like fully-equipped suites and butler service; Bahia Principe Grand guests get 5-star accommodations amidst impeccable amenities and gardens; and their newest themed resorts, aptly dubbed Fantasia, transport children of all ages to an all-inclusive world where the fantastical is commonplace and magic permeates the grounds. And they’re all tucked into some of the most coveted shores on Earth!

But Bahia Principe doesn’t stop there. Aside from ensuring the most mindful and intuitive service possible, they go even further with unparalleled Experiences across the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Jamaica that are so unique in their personalization that they’re practically bespoke. Why? Their goal is simple: helping everyone ease into true happiness.

Treasure Experience: Singular Spaces

Integrated seamlessly into the natural wonder of the rare geographies that surround them, hideaways that qualify as Treasure Experiences are for travellers seeking the spoils of an adventurer — who also want to spoil themselves. Conjure a 5-star sanctuary cradled in the natural wonder of the Yucatán’s Sian Ka’an Biospere Reserve with the ancient Mayan ruins of Muyil right in your backyard. Or accommodations on a dreamy Dominican island where the sugar-fine sands of Samaná fade into an aquamarine seascape. These singular explorations come with authentic, local fare made with ingredients unique to the area and leisure activities designed to bond you with the land and water around you. The result, aside from something resembling pure joy, is life-affirming perspective. Wanna go deeper? A Treasure Ambassador is handily available to help you turn over every stone and find every hidden gem on your high-energy quest for happiness.

Escape Experience: Adults-only Escapades

Emails, carpooling, meetings, calling the sitter…it all gets put on hold the instant you know you’re about to have an adults-only Escape Experience. You can rest easy here, and for as long as you want — your only responsibilities are to take care of your body, and soul’s, every whim. Sleep in, sip some signature cocktails, work on your left feet and take a dance lesson, or sweat it out toning those muscles with a personal trainer at the fitness centre (if you like). However much play you need between bouts of dreamy daytime downtime at any of these adults-only properties is totally up to you. And once the stars take to the sky, refined cuisine, themed events like silent disco and saucy burlesque shows are all an easy fix.

Is it indulgent? There’s a Chocolate Delights treatment at the on-site Spa that famously uses 100% Native Cocoa… so, yes. Definitely get a massage.

Family & Friends Experience: Fun… for Everyone

By far the most inclusive of the all-inclusive options under the Bahia Principe flag, the Family & Friends Experience offers just that: spectacular spaces where everyone in your travel party can get as chill or as charged as they want to. Fam jams here come in the form of tropical field days, Olympic games, silly contests of skill, karaoke, theme nights, and a fair amount of epically upbeat beach parties.

There’s even a wild and refreshing waterpark while kids clubs and teens clubs promise more relaxed pursuits. Everything here is mega fun and super easy, because it’s been designed that way. An activity that’s perfect for everyone’s morning mood? Yup. It’s likely happening in short order and a cinch to join. An ideal spot to tuck into some midday eats that satisfy all taste buds? It’s here. The kind of magical moments that get etched into your mind forever? Absolutely — for that, you just need to show up with your favourite people and let the happy energy flow.

Top 3 Excursions

Los Haitises National Park Tour

With a certified guide by your side, ride a cozy bus all the way to pretty Sabana de la Mar. Then ready yourself to enjoy jaw-dropping mountain-top vistas at epic Anamuya — right before zip-lining over the lush tropical canopy. Next, board a speedboat and cruise through the mesmerizing mangroves that are so characteristic of this exotic area. Now that you’ve built up an appetite, tuck into a lunch at Punta Arena and end your day basking in the sun or slipping into this beach's, natural crystalline waters.

Tulum — Jungla Maya

Set dramatically on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea with an epic beach below, the Tulum ruins will etch themselves into your sense memory. It gest better. Jungla Maya marks the entrance to the world’s longest underground river punctuated with incredible rock formations — and you can snorkel through the whole thing. You’ll also rip through the jungle on all-terrain Mercedes Benz Unimogs or over it by zip-line before rappelling into a cenote to swim in a truly singular natural pool. You’ll even participate in a traditional Mayan purification ceremony.

Island Routes Reggae Sunset Cruise Montego Bay

Experience the magic of the MoBay coastline from the casual comfort of the Island Routes Reggae Sunset Cruiseliner. You’ll even have time to step off your luxury catamaran cruise to stop in Margaritaville, literally! Made famous by Jimmy Buffet’s hit, this liquid locale comes complete with water trampolines, floating obstacle courses, and a 12-story waterslide designed to drop you right into the Caribbean drink. Dry off back aboard with DJ-spun music and savoury snacks as the setting sun disappears over the ocean horizon.
