Apple Vacations Expands 'Pages in Paradise'

Apple Vacations has announced an exciting expansion of its Pages in Paradise program, a unique collaboration with the Belletrist Book Club and Penguin Random House. This initiative transforms the typical vacation experience by offering guests at its Dreams Resorts & Spas the opportunity to indulge in a curated selection of literary works during their stay.

The program, which first launched at Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana in 2024, will now extend its offerings to eight additional Resorts across Latin America and the Caribbean, making it easier for book lovers to relax and unwind surrounded by stunning tropical landscapes.

An Enriching Literary Experience

With the Pages in Paradise program, guests will have access to a carefully curated library featuring a diverse range of books in both English and Spanish. This collection, carefully assembled by experts from Belletrist and Penguin Random House, is designed to appeal to a wide audience. Whether guests prefer thrilling mysteries or heartwarming romances, the selection promises something for everyone.

In addition to the library, participating resorts will introduce the Pages Pour. This themed cocktail or mocktail is inspired by the Pages in Paradise Book of the Month selected by Belletrist. For example, this month guests can sample “The Untold Promise” inspired by Lisa Ko’s novel Memory Piece. This creative addition enhances the overall vacation experience, pairing refreshing drinks with delightful reads.

The resorts will also host Poolside Pages Happy Hours, where guests can mingle, enjoy a signature drink, and pick from a curated book cart. This setting not only encourages reading but also creates a relaxing atmosphere for guests to socialize and unwind.

Dana Studebaker, Vice President of Marketing for Apple Vacations, remarked, “We are thrilled to see the Pages in Paradise program become a fan favorite following the success of the first library at Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana.
