Two Be Live Hotels properties in the Dominican Republic, owned by Spanish hospitality company Globalia, will be renovated and transformed into Sunscape Resorts & Spas under the Hyatt Inclusive Collection.

Hyatt Hotels Corporation made the multi-property collaboration announcement Wednesday, and said the deal is expected to expand Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection, which was introduced following Hyatt’s acquisition of Apple Leisure Group in 2021, by nearly 2,000 rooms.

The renovated hotels are expected to open in 2023, bolstering the family-friendly brand’s presence in the Caribbean.

“This planned expansion of the Sunscape Resorts & Spas brand in the Caribbean marks an opportunity to broaden all-inclusive family-friendly offerings in a desirable market for global travelers. We are seeing great demand for the four-star product and are grateful for the trust of Globalia in the future of these properties as part of our growing global Inclusive Collection brand portfolio,” said Javier Coll, group president, global business development & innovation, Inclusive Collection, Hyatt.

“We believe this collaboration showcases the combined strength and potential of Hyatt and Apple Leisure Group and how owners are empowered to remain vested in their assets while achieving success through our brands, distribution channels and global reputation.”

“For Globalia, this moment with Hyatt represents another success in the strategy followed by the group to recover and strengthen our leadership position in the markets where we are present together with a company that is a world renowned in the hospitality industry," said Juan José Hidalgo, President of Globalia. "We are proud to walk together with Hyatt in the development and growth of a differentiated proposal for the vacation model in the Sunscape Resorts & Spas brand, and we hope to continue working together on future projects to redefine our sector."

Globalia is one of the leading tourism groups in Spain and the Latin American market. In addition to the Be Live Hotels chain, its brands include the airline Air Europa, the airport services operator Ground Force, Globalia Mantenimiento and Globalia Call Center.
