The all-inclusive boom in the Caribbean continues to evolve—and Kimpton Hotels is officially joining the movement. Best known for its stylish boutique city hotels, Kimpton is making its first bold foray into the all-inclusive space with Kimpton Tres Ríos, now set to open on January 1, 2026 in Mexico’s Riviera Maya.
A Strategic Move Into All-Inclusive Luxury
This debut marks a major milestone for the IHG-owned brand, which is stepping into a competitive market increasingly filled with global names like Hyatt, Hilton, and Marriott. Kimpton Tres Ríos isn’t just the brand’s first all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean—it’s their first anywhere.

Situated just north of Playa del Carmen, the resort is nestled within the 326-acre Tres Ríos Nature Park, where freshwater rivers wind through lush mangroves before meeting the Caribbean Sea. This unique setting promises an immersive, eco-conscious guest experience, designed to blend natural beauty with the elevated aesthetics and service Kimpton is known for.
Suites, Sustainability, and Signature Design
The beachfront resort will feature 355 suites, including options with private plunge pools, soaking tubs, and expansive views of either tropical forest or ocean. The architecture and interiors embrace regional materials and textures, creating a grounded, upscale vibe that feels both luxurious and locally inspired.
All-Inclusive With a Culinary Edge
Kimpton Tres Ríos aims to raise the bar on all-inclusive dining. The resort will offer seven restaurants and five bars, spotlighting regional Mexican cuisine with global accents. Guests can expect a variety of dining experiences—from casual beachfront fare to refined, chef-driven dinners.
Complementing the culinary offerings is the Kej Spa, a modern wellness center with treatments rooted in local traditions. Multiple pools, a state-of-the-art gym, and a thoughtfully curated wellness program round out the resort’s amenities.

Family, Nature, and Cultural Immersion
With family-friendly activities, on-site nature adventures, and a strong focus on sustainability and culture, Kimpton Tres Ríos is designed to appeal to a wide range of travelers. From eco-explorers to culinary seekers, the resort aims to provide a seamless, inclusive experience that captures the spirit of Riviera Maya.
Kimpton’s Caribbean Footprint Expands
The launch of Tres Ríos will follow Kimpton’s recent Caribbean expansion, including the opening of its first Dominican Republic hotel in Santo Domingo’s Colonial Zone, and existing properties in Roatan and Grand Cayman—the latter considered the brand’s regional flagship.
While bookings have yet to go live on Kimpton’s website, the January 1, 2026 opening is confirmed. Once launched, this resort could represent a new benchmark for boutique luxury within the Caribbean’s evolving all-inclusive landscape.
