Let’s start with one of the most ridiculously luxurious retreats in the world, in one of the most unbelievably beautiful places: The Brando, a private island resort on a tiny atoll just east of Tahiti. Just a handful of one, two, and three-bedroom beach villas dot the pristine white sand here. You’ll just have to decide whether to relax beside your private pool or the calm, clear lagoon. Multiple dining experiences, spa treatments, and atoll excursions are other ways to fill your time in paradise.

Crete is always a top choice of the Greek islands, as its large size provides many advantages – more beaches, more attractions, and more great resorts.

What’s Special About This Resort

The Maldives and its 1,190 islands are synonymous with many things: ridiculously clear water, thriving marine life, super-luxury resorts, and unreal overwater bungalows. While these hotel suites perched on stilts over lagoons aren’t hard to find around the country, LUX South Ari Atoll does it better than most – especially among all-inclusive resorts. Overwater rooms here are better referred to as overwater villas as they are massive in size, luxurious in nature, and offer huge, furnished decks with direct ocean access and individual infinity pools.

You can opt for the all-inclusive package at the LUX South Ari Atoll in order to combine your accommodation package with all meals, snacks, and most drinks. All outlets are included with the exceptions of Umami and Allegria, two à-la-carte dinner restaurants, at which most all-inclusive guests get a discount – however, stays in higher room categories for longer durations may have a dinner at each included.

Plenty of all-inclusive escapes are to tropical islands or beachy destinations, but in the deserts near Dubai, there’s a very different type of experience. Al Maha is a luxury oasis among the sand and sun of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. Enjoy views across the rolling hills of sand with the Hajar Mountain massif in the distance from the cooling comfort of private swimming pools by day. Step outside of your traditionally appointed suite to gaze at the expanse of stars at night. Desert activities like camel riding and falconry are a part of this unique experience, too.

Al Maha is considered an all-inclusive resort by most, as it includes all meals in the rate package plus more, but there is one major difference from most others: alcoholic drinks are not included. However, Al Maha makes up for this by including two activities per night in the rate, which can include great excursions like archery, falconry, desert walks, or wildlife drives, among others.

For nature lovers, there is no other experience in the world as unique as an African safari. Deep in the Maasai Mara, the best place to see exotic wildlife in Kenya, the Angama Mara is a high-end, all-inclusive paradise that puts you right in the middle of that very nature. The resort’s name comes from the Swahili word for ‘suspended in mid-air’, and that’s a good way to describe it, as its two camps of 15 tented suites each are perched high on a hill above the Great Rift Valley floor. Beautiful luxury and panoramic views await after days filled with game drives and nature walks.

Your stay at Angama Mara is all-inclusive of accommodation, meals, and drinks, with the exception of French champagnes.

Located on the southwestern side of the Jamaican island, the Bluefields Bay Villas all-inclusive resort gives you a front-row seat to some of the most spectacular sunsets on earth. The resort is the epitome of privacy, with its own private pool, beach, deck, and more. The villa feels less like a villa and more like a Georgian estate.

Despite the large unit sizes, this resort is comparatively small for a Jamaican all-inclusive. The guest experience seems to benefit from its boutique size, as you have a surplus of attentive staff for whatever you may want or need. Your stay comes with a butler service and a personal chef for your individual villa.

There is very little to complain about when it comes to the Bluefields Bay Villas, but there are a few things worth noting. The private beach is not a sandy beach but a rocky one, so water shoes are a must. Additionally, while it is suitable enough for children, families with kids may have a better experience at a larger resort with more kid-specific activities to offer.

A private pool, 3 meals/day, an open bar, use of a butler, private chef, housekeeper, seaside staff, child/adult care (up to 9 hours/day), resort-wide wi-fi, use of sea kayaks, sailboat, hydrobikes, standup paddle boards, snorkel gear, tennis court, staffed seaside lounging areas, airport services (4-night minimum), and complimentary laundry services are all included with the price of your stay.

Cayo Espanto may not carry a big brand name, but this four-acre private island resort in Belize is certainly among the most aspirational in the country.

Its seven bungalows are located just three miles off the western coast of Ambergris Caye, and each offers a private heated plunge pool – with the exception of one, which is completely surrounded by the warm Caribbean Sea instead.

In between lounging by the water, guests can go to the spa or partake in a variety of ocean excursions. It’s just up to you to decide on the balance of relaxation and adventure.

Cayo Espanto isn’t advertised as a traditional all-inclusive resort, but it essentially is. Three meals per day, snacks, and drinks are included in your room rate, and they’ll be custom-made and served in private rather than chosen off a restaurant’s buffet or menu.
