Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced the expansion of the company’s Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection portfolio in Mexico with plans for a Breathless Resort & Spa branded property to open next year in Puerto Vallarta.
As part of an agreement with Grupo Hotelero Santa Fe, S.A.B. de C.V., Breathless Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa is set to open in 2025.
“We are thrilled by this plan to introduce the Breathless Resorts & Spas brand to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico,” Hyatt Inclusive Collection Growth global head Javier Coll said. “Mexico has played a pivotal role in our developmental strategy for many years, and we continue to collaborate with quality owners like Grupo Hotelero Sante Fe to strengthen our leadership in the region and address ongoing consumer demand for luxury, all-inclusive experiences.”
Located just 10 minutes from Puerto Vallarta International Airport, the adults-only resort will feature impressive amenities, such as four swimming pools, a scenic rooftop, and culinary options, including seven à la carte gourmet restaurants, two cafés and two snack areas.
Breathless Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa will feature more than 450 rooms and suites exclusively for adults.
The property will also boast nine dining venues, unlimited spirits at five bars, 24-hour room and concierge services, daily activities, daytime and nightlife entertainment, a spa, events inspired by local culture, art, and fashion, and more.
With more than 10,000 square feet of dedicated meeting and function space, the Breathless resort is positioned to become a top destination for conferences, weddings, and special events, with a range of custom packages to take celebrations to the next level.
“It’s a true honor to collaborate with Grupo Hotelero Santa Fe on their sixth Hyatt property following the success of Hyatt Centric Campestre Leon, Hyatt Place Aguascalientes, Hyatt Regency Mexico City Insurgentes and Secrets Tulum Resort & Spa,” Hyatt senior vice president Camilo Bolaños said.
“Together, we will continue exploring opportunities to expand Hyatt’s brand footprint in extraordinary destinations that matter most to guests, customers, and World of Hyatt members,” Bolaños continued. “Our growth strategy in Mexico continues to be driven by strong relationships with existing owners and we’re excited to witness this resort come to life.”

I’m scooped up by a golf cart and whisked along a palm-tree-lined pathway to Paradisus La Perla, an adults-only all-inclusive Meliá resort on the sandy shores of Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I’m taken to the inner sanctum of the Reserve members lounge for check-in, a perk for upgraded guests. I’m surrounded by marble flooring, wall art, and a welcome-snack area. Through the glass doors straight ahead, there’s a sweeping view of the main pool area. This is the start of a relaxing getaway that’s focused equally on wellness and adventure.
