Hilton Hotels & Resorts has entered into a strategic alliance with Playa Hotels & Resorts in an effort to extend its all-inclusive resort portfolio.

Through the partnership, the two companies plan to welcome two new all-inclusive resorts in Caribbean and Latin America by the end of 2018. It will be managed by Playa, a statement revealed. Currently, Playa owns and/or manages a total portfolio consisting of 20 resorts (7,769 rooms) located in Mexico, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic according to its website.

Additionally, Hilton and Playa have plans to open eight all-inclusive resorts together by 2025. No information has been provided on the location of these properties.

By the end of this year, Hilton and Playa Hotels & Resorts will introduce Hilton La Romana and Hilton Playa del Carmen, both all-inclusive resorts, adding 1,269 new Hilton guest rooms to its existing global portfolio.

Commenting on the alliance, Hilton president and chief executive officer Christopher J. Nassetta said: “Today we are pleased to begin our ambitious expansion journey with Playa Hotels & Resorts. Together we are responding to our shared guests, who are seeking attractive resort offerings. And as our all-inclusive portfolio grows, so too does our commitment to world class hospitality in the Caribbean and Latin America.”
