Apple Leisure Group® Development Strengthens European Presence with Two Resort Deals

Apple Leisure Group (“ALG”), a leading North American resort brand management, leisure travel and hospitality group, part of Hyatt, and Hotel Investment Partners (HIP), the largest owner of resort hotels in Southern Europe owned by Blackstone real estate funds, announced the recent openings of Dreams Calviá Mallorca and AluaSoul Zakynthos in May 2022 after extensive renovations.

• Located in one of the most popular tourist areas of the Balearic Islands, the recently refurbished, family-friendly, 4-star Dreams Calviá Mallorca features 391 luxuriously appointed rooms just 100 meters from the sea. Designed by the renowned interior designer Jaime Beriestain, the resort underwent a complete renovation of existing facilities in addition to the construction of two new buildings.

Guests of all ages can enjoy an upgraded wellness area, gym, four swimming pools, Balinese beds, several terraces, an Explorer's Club for kids, a Core Zone for teens, a solarium and new adults-only areas. New gastronomy offerings include live cooking and recipes with local produce at four gourmet à la carte restaurants featuring Mallorcan and international cuisine, two all-inclusive buffets, two snack bars and a food market.

Following its renovation in May, Dreams Calviá Mallorca received the BREEAM^® sustainability certification with a "very good" rating, an international benchmark for sustainability in the field of building construction.

• The new AluaSoul Zakynthos began welcoming guests on May 1, 2022, with sustainably refurbished public areas and guestrooms. The 4-star, all-inclusive, adults-only beachfront resort is one of the most reputable hotels in Zante offering guests outstanding views of the Ionian Sea and surrounding unspoiled natural scenery.

The resort features 161 rooms, all refurbished, including 48 reserved for "My Favorite Club" guests, offering a higher level of relaxation and comfort for an exclusive experience, access to private areas including an exclusive lounge and pool area, private check-in and check-out, and more. A paradise for food lovers, AluaSoul Zakynthos offers three restaurants serving local and international specialties with special themed nights.
