Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts has announced that Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica in Runaway Bay will reopen on 1 December 2026, following an extensive year-long renovation and recovery programme. The reopening represents an important step in the continued evolution of Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts, strengthening its premium all-inclusive offering and reinforcing its commitment to a destination where the brand has an established presence.

Set on Jamaica’s northern coastline, the resort introduces transformed accommodation, upgraded facilities and an enhanced all-inclusive experience, with extensive upgrades to restaurants, communal spaces, swimming pools and entertainment facilities. Inspired by the concept of “Roots”, the resort celebrates Jamaica’s vibrant culture, natural beauty and distinctive Caribbean spirit, weaving elements of the island’s heritage into its design, dining and entertainment.

The resort will feature 647 rooms, three swimming pools and seven restaurants, with dining options spanning international, Italian and Mongolian cuisine, the Route 66 concept and more informal choices. Entertainment will be a central part of the experience, with live music, karaoke, beach parties, dance classes and sports, as well as Xaymaca The Show, a celebration of Jamaica’s history, music and rhythms. Families will find an extensive choice of activities, including a dedicated Kids Club, waterpark, creative workshops, cycling tours and patois classes offering an introduction to the island’s language and culture. Bahia Principe Village will provide further opportunities for leisure and entertainment.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica is part of Bahia Principe Explore, the brand’s collection of resorts designed for families, friends and groups seeking a combination of relaxation, entertainment, and opportunities to discover their destination.
