Mexico's leading hotel operator Posadas is accelerating its expansion into the all-inclusive resort market with ambitious plans to add more than 1,300 new rooms by the end of 2025.
The growth strategy reflects the company's confidence in beach destinations and the all-inclusive model, backed by strong operational performance across its existing portfolio.
The expansion comes as Posadas' beach resorts demonstrate exceptional market performance. Over the past year, the company's all-inclusive properties averaged 76% occupancy while commanding rates 31% higher than competitors.
This operational excellence translated into impressive financial results, with the company reporting a 16% year-over-year increase in revenue per available room (RevPAR) during the first quarter of 2025.
"Our experience in the all-inclusive resort space allows us to continue growing with confidence," said Mauricio Elizondo, Vice President of Development at Posadas. "We're introducing properties with unique concepts in key destinations like Nuevo Vallarta, Playa del Carmen, Punta Cana and Los Cabos."

Leading the expansion is the June 2025 opening of Fiesta Americana Nuevo Vallarta, a 229-room family-friendly resort in Puerto Vallarta's North Hotel Zone. The property emphasizes traditional Mexican hospitality in a relaxed atmosphere designed specifically for families seeking an authentic all-inclusive experience.
The crown jewel of the expansion is Fiesta Americana Funeeq Punta Cana, scheduled to open in Fall 2025. This 498-room resort in the exclusive Uvero Alto beach area represents Posadas' largest international project and signals the company's growing confidence in Caribbean markets. The next-generation property will blend hospitality, wellness and entertainment while catering to diverse traveler segments including families, groups and business travelers.

Looking ahead to 2027, Posadas plans to debut Live Aqua Los Cabos, an exclusive 90-room adults-only resort in San José del Cabo. The luxury property will feature premium finishes, Sea of Cortez views, private amenities and experiences centered on wellness and signature gastronomy, marking a strategic investment in the region's high-end hospitality market.
The coastal focus represents a deliberate strategy, with 61% of new rooms under development located in beach destinations. This concentration on waterfront properties aligns with growing traveler demand for all-inclusive beach experiences and Posadas' proven expertise in these markets.
The expansion is supported by strong financial fundamentals, including 13% EBITDA growth in the first quarter of 2025 and a solid liquidity position. With more than 200 hotels and over 30,000 rooms across Mexico and the Dominican Republic, Posadas operates brands including Live Aqua, Grand Fiesta Americana, Fiesta Americana and Gamma.
The ambitious growth plan positions Posadas to capitalize on the recovering tourism sector while cementing its leadership in Mexico's hospitality industry and expanding its international footprint throughout the Caribbean region.
