How Hyatt Resorts are redefining luxury
With their dazzling waterfront locations and Unlimited-Luxury® concept (more on that later), Dreams® Resorts’ family-friendly and Secrets® Resorts’ adults-only properties in Corfu and Lanzarote have it all – and then some…
Dreams Corfu Resort & Spa – Inclusive Collection, Part of Hyatt
Known for its blissful beaches, the Ionian Island of Corfu is a playground for travellers with great taste, and so is this all-inclusive resort facing Gouvia Bay in the pretty fishing village of the same name. Just a ten-minute drive from UNESCO-protected Corfu Town, it’s the first Dreams property in Greece to offer the Unlimited-Luxury® concept, which means that pretty much everything is included: cocktails at its five bars, live entertainment and unlimited dining at its four restaurants serving Greek, Italian, seafood and more international fare (to name just a few).
There’s also the Explorer’s Club for ages four to 12, and daily activities in the Core Zone for teenagers – not to mention water sports for the entire clan. Adults in need of some holiday Zen can get a dose of soothing hydrotherapy at the spa or take a dip into the bay’s calm, cobalt waters (also perfect for little swimmers). The hotel’s three swimming pools are also up for grabs. There’s even one for the exclusive use of guests of the Preferred Club – an even higher level of all-inclusive luxury. Other Preferred Club perks include personalised check-in, afternoon snacks and a pillow menu.
Dreams Lanzarote Playa Dorada Resort & Spa – Inclusive Collection, Part of Hyatt
This beachfront spot in the tranquil town of Playa Blanca is just a five-minute walk from Marina Rubicón, where sparkling waters reflect luxurious yachts, and a local market on Wednesdays and Saturdays is all the rage (and the place to pick up some of Lanzarote’s famous volcanic wine). Room views are more impressive still – especially when a lavish breakfast in bed is involved – with Preferred Club quarters overlooking Lobos and Fuerteventura islands. Pull yourself away for a vitamin C facial at the spa or a dip in the pool – there are nine to choose from, with four serving refreshing cocktails – or race down the slides at the on-site aquapark.
There’s another Explorer’s Club for little ones and a Core Zone for teens, offering everything from a poolside disco to state-of-the-art VR headsets, plus a large range of water sports, such as jet skiing. You’ll reenergise at one of five restaurants, perhaps kicking off with burrata salad at Portofino or tucking into casual favourites at Barefoot Grill. You can go half board or indulge in it all with Unlimited-Luxury® (hello, free-flowing cocktails and daily restocked minifridge).
Secrets Lanzarote Resort & Spa – Inclusive Collection, Part of Hyatt
Lanzarote’s OG marina, Puerto Calero, sets the yacht-studded scene of this adults-only resort on one of the most beloved Canary Islands, famous for its volcanic beauty (don’t worry, the last eruption was in 1824). Timanfaya National Park, a landscape of lava fields, craters and the ‘Mountains of Fire’, is a 15-minute drive away, while the legendary Papagayo beaches are just 25km south. Swim in the curaçao-blue waters of the Atlantic or admire them from your suite’s decked-out terrace (be warned: even that view won’t be able to keep you too long from your king-sized bed or whirlpool bathtub).
For next-level pampering, treat yourself to a rejuvenating seaweed treatment at the spa, followed by a dry martini at the piano bar and dinner at one of six stunning restaurants. The resort offers the same Unlimited-Luxury® concept with options for dining and drinking all day long, half board, and bed and breakfast for Preferred Club room categories. All options include sun worshipping at the four outdoor pools and a feeling of complete decadence, so you can’t go wrong.
