What comes to mind when you hear the words ‘All-Inclusive Resort’? Perhaps a big-box hotel with long lines and bland food? I hear ‘cookie-cutter’ a lot. And I completely understand. But if you completely cross off every all-inclusive off your possibilities list, you will be missing out. They have evolved! There is a new breed of inclusive that cater to people with refined tastes and sensibilities. This new breed combines style, comfort, and opulence. Lusting after an intimate mountain getaway, luxury safari, sunbathing on a fantastic beach or soaking in the culture of a foreign land? There’s an all-inclusive for that. Here are the Best Luxury
All-Inclusive Resorts in the World!
Unico 20 87 in the Rivera Maya
Mexico
The newbie in already crowded adults-only all-inclusive area. But this is a step above the older resorts. Great food, lovely beach, impeccable service, and outstanding mixologists await you at Unico.
andBeyond Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge in Botswana
Located near Botswana’s Moremi Game Reserve, its 12 earth-toned suites bring the beauty of the savannah indoors. Imagine safari tours and sailing down the river during the day. Afterward, you will relax by the fireplace.
Ikos Oceania in Nea Moudania, Greece
Perched on a private bay, Ikos Oceania offers breathtaking sea and mountain views. It also provides an endless list of activities. Explore the island on a bike, climb to the top of nearby peaks, or kayak the glistening waters.
Fowl Cay Resort in the Bahamas
A mere 90-minute flight from Fort Lauderdale lies the luxe yet laid-back private island resort called Fowl Cay. It provides you with everything you could ever desire. Want to explore the ground? Do so in your golf cart. For people who want to take to the high seas, use your private boat.
The Brando, French Polynesia
A private island resort once owned by the late Marlon Brando. Therefore, guests at the stellar Brando Resort become A-List celebrities. Spend your time swimming with sharks or sipping champagne at the bar. Don’t miss the spectacular treetop spa!
Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur, India
A shower of rose petals awaits your arrival at the Taj Lake Palace. Are you impressed yet? Want to feel like Bond, James Bond? Ask to take the 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom used in Octopussy for a spin. Follow that with dinner on the hotel’s 150-year-old boat, which used to belong to royalty.
Petit St Vincent in St Vincent & Grenadines
Located in the Southern tip of the Grenadines, the Petit St Vincent is a boutique beach resort. Yes, there are only 22 beachfront villas, hence the ‘Petit.’ But there’s nothing petit about the hike up Marni Hill, the 3,000-bottle wine cellar, or the 49-foot sailboat.
Lizard Island Resort on the Great Barrier Reef
As the northernmost resort on the Great Barrier Reef, Lizard Island Resort is truly a secluded paradise. Add 24 private beaches, and with only 40 suites and villas, that means a private beach for every guest, couple, or group.
Spice Island in Grenada
On world-famous Grand Anse Beach lies the sprawling eight-acre Spice Island Beach Resort. A private stretch of powder-fine sand frames the 32 beachfront suites. The suites feature exterior terraces and private gardens.
Time + Tide Miavana in Madagascar
Stroll through the incredible forests and play with the lemurs at Madagascar’s stunning, luxury eco-resort, Miavana. But what truly makes it an out of this world experience are the next-gen adventures: lemur trekking, helicopter sightseeing, and whale watching.
Grand Velas Los Cabos in Los Cabos, Mexico
Perched along the stunning sea, Grand Velas Los Cabos is an all-inclusive luxury resort with an array of amenities and services.

Twin Farms in Barnard, Vermont
Nestled in the middle of a lush, Vermont landscape lies the delightful Twin Farms. Three hundred acres of wildflowers and pine and maple trees. But the real draw is dinner. It is a gourmet experience that begins with a champagne cocktail hour and launches into a multi-course feast made using locally sourced ingredients as well as produce from the farm itself. Twin Farms is also featured in Best Resorts in the USA for Romantic Fall Getaway.
Hermitage Bay in Antigua
The ultimate in barefoot luxury, Hermitage Bay as a five-star resort that has transformed how most of us view all-inclusive resorts. Nestled into 16 acres of tropical gardens are 25 adorable cottages. Each cottage surrounded by white, powdery sand with excellent views of the beach.
Song Saa Private Island in Cambodia
It takes a four-hour drive and a 45-minute speedboat ride to get from the bustling streets of Phnom Penh to the remote sanctuary of Song Saa. But the resort is worth the trip. Its private island in Cambodia’s pristine Koh Rong archipelago. There you have it! Part 1 of the Best Luxury All-Inclusive Resorts in the World.
