What’s better than sharing the holidays with your loved ones in a warm and sunny destination? Allowing someone else to do the cooking and cleanup. At all-inclusive resorts, you can leave the headache of planning meals, keeping everyone entertained, and coordinating logistics to the professionals.
From adults-only to family-friendly, these all-inclusive resorts are not only convenient, they also prioritize destination-led experiences, diverse dining, and locally focused activities so you can create new memories while learning about new cultures.
As always, check for travel guidelines and closures before planning your trip.
Plan a Solo or Couples Holiday in Punta Cana
Sanctuary Cap Cana, a Luxury Collection Adult All-Inclusive Resort, Dominican Republic elevates the all-inclusive concept with its refined suites and villas, some with butler service. Here you can relax on a sun lounger with a book on Dominican culture borrowed from the lobby library, take a dip in one of the six pools, or stroll along the pure white sand beach.
The bright and magical Cap Cana Boat Parade held in December is a great reason to stay at the property and get into the island’s festive spirit. Among other highlights is a holiday toast at the Marina Cap Cana with a creamy, aromatic, eggnog-like punch made with local rum, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
If you’re flying in, getting to the resort is a breeze, too — it’s conveniently located about a 15-minute drive from Punta Cana International Airport.
Enjoy the Calm in Costa Rica
The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa is ideal for travelers who want a tranquil retreat surrounded by ivory beaches, azure waters, and lush green forests. At this Costa Rican all-inclusive, live in the moment as you practice sunrise yoga on the beach, do breath work at the spa, and float your cares away in one of the largest freshwater pools in Central America.
The resort typically offers a wide array of activities to inspire you and help you celebrate the holiday season. Channel your creative energy making holiday picture frames, decorating cookies, and wrapping presents for kids. Visit the Tropical Christmas Alley by the main pool to enjoy live music, sparkling lights, and Christmas characters, as well as seasonal cocktails for adults.
Finally, embark on a culinary journey at the Christmas dinner and celebrate a magical New Year’s Eve with food and dance at Mitra Market.
Treasure Family Moments in Brazil
If you are looking to create holiday memories with the family with a magnificent backdrop, journey to The Westin Porto de Galinhas, an All-Inclusive Resort. The resort is perched along the Porto de Galinhas beach on Brazil’s northeast coast — and since December kicks off the summer season, an end-of-year holiday vacation is the perfect opportunity to experience sunny days spent by the water.
You can expect a robust holiday events calendar curated for all ages. The beachfront resort also has two pools for lounging and splashing (one main pool and one for families), as well as exciting excursion opportunities, like Catamaran tours and beach buggy rides. An on-site Kids and Teens club is a big draw for families, too.
Adults who could use some rest and relaxation should also check out the resort’s Heavenly SPA by Westin.
