The Best All-Inclusive Resorts in Mexico You’ll Want to Book
Whether you're planning a stress-free family vacation, a romantic adults-only escape, or a soul-refreshing solo trip, Mexico’s all-inclusive resort scene delivers more than just margaritas and mariachi. These resorts are where five-star luxury meets cultural depth—where everything is taken care of, but nothing feels cookie-cutter.
As a luxury travel agency that sends hundreds of clients to Mexico every year, we’ve stayed at these resorts ourselves, sent VIP guests, and collected every behind-the-scenes detail—so you know exactly what’s worth it.
Palmaïa, The House of AIA
Riviera Maya
Best For: Wellness-seekers, mindful travelers, and plant-based foodies
Vibe: Secluded, serene, spiritual luxury
Hidden in a lush pocket of Playacar just outside Playa del Carmen, Palmaïa is not your typical resort, it’s a transformational retreat disguised as a beachfront paradise. Think open-air architecture, incense-scented lobbies, and staff that greet you like old friends.
Here, meals are plant-based by default (but meat and seafood are available), and daily rituals like sound baths, gratitude circles, and breathwork are included. You won’t find a noisy kids club or party bar—this is barefoot luxury for people who want to unplug and reconnect with themselves.
Resort Girl Tip: The oceanfront swim-up suites are amazing, and the jungle spa (next to a real cenote!) is one of the most peaceful we’ve ever experienced.
AVA Resort Cancun
Cancun
Best For: Families, multi-gen groups, couples who want it all
Vibe: Sleek, new, designed to wow
A fresh entry on the Cancun scene, AVA Resort is a bold, ultra-modern resort that checks every box. Every suite has floor-to-ceiling windows with ocean views, and the sheer size of the resort means you’ll never run out of things to do.
With 17 dining options, including a steakhouse, sushi bar, and healthy café, plus a multi-story spa and rooftop adult-only zones, it’s designed for both play and peace. The kids club? Massive. The nightlife? Popping. The spa? You could lose a whole day there, happily.
Resort Girl Tip: Book an oceanfront Elite Suite for exclusive perks, a separate check-in area, and access to the best rooftop pool in Cancun.
Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort
Punta Mita
Best For: Adults-only nature luxury, off-the-grid honeymooners
Vibe: Wild, intimate, luxuriously minimalist
This is one of the most exclusive and soul-stirring resorts in Mexico. With only 15 tented villas on a cliffside jungle reserve in Punta Mita, Naviva is designed for total disconnection. No screens. No noise. Just hammocks, healing rituals, and the sound of crashing waves.
Inspired by the legendary Four Seasons Tented Camp in Thailand, Naviva delivers the same over-the-top service in an earthy, Mexico-rooted setting. Your days might include a spiritual cleansing ceremony, private beach yoga, a temazcal, or reading under a mango tree with mezcal in hand.
Resort Girl Tip: This resort is a journey. Come when you need to reset, reflect, or just remember who you are.
Grand Velas Los Cabos
Los Cabos
Best For: Luxury travelers, foodies, spa lovers
Vibe: Sophisticated, elegant, all-inclusive at its peak
If you think “all-inclusive” means buffet lines and watered-down cocktails, think again. Grand Velas flips the script entirely. You’ll be greeted with champagne and caviar (seriously), escorted to your oceanfront suite by your personal concierge, and encouraged to try every one of their seven fine-dining restaurants.
The spa? Unreal. The kids and teens clubs? Best in Mexico. The rooms? Oversized with designer touches and top-shelf tequila restocked daily. It’s high-end without being stuffy—perfect for celebrating something big or just treating yourself.
Resort Girl Tip: Don’t miss the signature blue agave treatment at SE Spa. You’ll walk out reborn.
Hotel Mousai
Puerto Vallarta
Best For: Couples, modern design lovers, adults-only escapes
Vibe: Bold, artful, unapologetically stylish
Hotel Mousai is what happens when a design magazine and a luxury resort have a baby. This adults-only spot sits on Puerto Vallarta’s lush south shore, with panoramic views, rooftop infinity pools, and a high-energy vibe that feels fresh and flirty.
Each suite has a smart system that opens your curtains to the ocean view, spa-inspired bathrooms, and terraces with private jacuzzis. Dining is a highlight, with inventive dishes served across five on-site restaurants, and guests can access even more options at its sister property Garza Blanca next door.
Resort Girl Tip: The rooftop pool is reason enough to book. It’s one of the most Instagrammed spots in PV for a reason.
Palafitos Overwater Bungalows
El Dorado Maroma
Best For: Honeymooners, adults-only luxe
Vibe: Private, iconic, bucket list-worthy
Mexico’s answer to Bora Bora is right here in the Riviera Maya. These 30+ thatched-roof overwater bungalows sit above the Caribbean Sea, complete with glass floors, private infinity pools, and direct ladder access to the ocean.
But it’s not just pretty, it’s indulgent. Butler service handles everything from unpacking to cocktail delivery, and the overwater restaurant is one of the best in the region.
Resort Girl Tip: Wake up early at least once, you’ll see the sunrise through your floor.
Garza Blanca Cancun
Cancun
Best For: Luxe families and friend groups
Vibe: Contemporary, fun, elevated family-friendly
Bright, stylish rooms, top-tier service, and thoughtful family amenities set Garza Blanca apart. It’s located on Playa Mujeres, a quieter stretch of Cancun, and feels upscale without losing approachability. The Kids Club is exceptional, the restaurants are standout, and the rooftop pools offer views you’ll daydream about later.
Resort Girl Tip: Book a swim-up suite if you want to feel spoiled and keep an eye on the kids from your lounger.
