New Types of Caribbean Holidays

Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen, Punta Cana…who has never dreamed of retiring to one of these earthly paradises, even if only for a short visit?

The Caribbean offers a mixture of cultures that remain loyal to their traditions, kilometres of white sandy beaches and coral reefs, inland areas brimming with lush vegetation, exotic flavours, snorkelling, scuba diving, surfing, paddle boarding and all types of water sports.

It’s a magical place where visitors find themselves at one with the area of natural beauty, learning to care for and appreciate the environment: whether in the mystical Riviera Maya or the iconic Dominican Republic.

Riviera Maya: Ancestral Mexican Beauty

How many times have you felt the urge to stop time and instantly be transported to somewhere else on the planet? A place where you are the protagonist. A place where you can disconnect and don’t have to worry about a thing.

When you dream about this place, what do you dream about?

An outdoor bathtub with flowers, a suite overlooking the Caribbean Sea, a massage while listening to the subtle sounds of the swelling waves. It's time to wake up. BlueBay's Blue Diamond Luxury Boutique Hotel*****GL (exclusively for adults) is the destination of your dreams, located in the heart of the Riviera Maya.

Imagine opening the window first thing in the morning and being greeted by a gorgeous view of the beach: a paradise of saturated colours, turquoise waters, white sand and green palm trees. Where at mid-morning, if you feel like it, you can receive the best massage of your life or experience an authentic Mayan ritual in the form of a natural steam bath, in a genuine Temazcal experience?

This hotel is revolutionising the hotel scene in the Caribbean with its extensive range of services. Put simply, this is an accommodation offering in which the guest is made to feel at home right away: nature plays a leading role, the architecture is extraordinary, the interior decor is fascinating and above all else, the customer service is exceptional.

But the Riviera Maya is more than just the perfect destination for a trip with your partner or friends. There are also several family-friendly options, such as a trip to one of the several cenotes, or a selection of water activities overlooking the sea in a temple of wellness and enjoyment: BlueBay Grand Esmeralda*****. This 180-hectare all-inclusive resort allows guests to lose all concept of reality.

Surrounded by forests and mangroves, this resort has various gourmet restaurants where you can sample different flavours and dishes from a wide range of cultures; large swimming pools offering water activities; a specially-designated child’s play area with swimming pool and kids club; sports facilities for tennis, volleyball and sailing activities; a shopping square with boutiques, a kiosk, tobacco store, souvenir shop; and a spa, offering an extensive selection of face and body treatments.

Dominican Republic: Picture-Perfect Caribbean Landscapes

Now imagine if you could virtually design a holiday destination: a place where you could reset the system and go back to reality at a later date. Imagine if you could choose the climate, the temperature, the landscape and the bedroom in which you wake up every morning.

Now think about the hotel. With a wrap-around design, swimming pools of all shapes and sizes and a thousand and one entertainment options, all of which set against a backdrop of beaches that look like they have been ripped straight from a rum advert, whose colours look like they are being viewed through an Instagram filter.

Now finish off your personal paradise by adding some of your favourite things: a kayak, a kite, a reserved table on the beach itself, cocktails and a nightlife that lasts until the sun comes up. Congratulations—this is Punta Cana, the all-inclusive BlueBay Grand Punta Cana***** hotel complex, a unique place of extraordinary sensations and unforgettable moments.

If another of your wishes is to stay in an adults-only hotel, where you can go on a romantic couple’s getaway in one of the most bucolic destinations, all you need to do is hit the “reset” button and add this requirement. You will then find BlueBay Villas Doradas: a perfect hotel for couples or newly-weds that stands out for its excellent location, tranquillity, exquisiteness and luxury, located in the Dominican Republic.
