The Andaman Resort & Spa, Langkawi

If you’re looking for an all inclusive holiday resort that really has everything you need, look no further than the Andaman Resort & Spa. The resort is located in a secluded, tropical setting on Malaysia’s Langkawi island. It is one of our larger resorts with 186 rooms and offers a wealth of activities including nature walks, coral reef walks, cruises and even the bamboo Cineplex, a cinema under the stars. The all inclusive upgrade is perfect if you’re looking to relax in your resort and not worry about the cost of meals and drinks on top of your holiday price. It even includes items in your mini bar, a nice added extra. 

Melati Beach Resort & Spa, Koh Samui

The Melati occupies a fabulous beachfront location on Thongson Bay, on the northwest tip of Koh Samui in Thailand. Those who want to sample the hustle and bustle of Chaweng can hop on the hotel’s shuttle for the 15 minute trip to the famous resort. The hotel offers an extensive array of facilities and activities including Thai boxing lessons and authentic cooking courses which give insight into the secrets of amazing flavours of the region. If you're in the mood to see the area on a scenic route, hire a bicycle and explore some of the hidden beauty of this incredible island in the fresh open spaces.

Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita, Riviera Maya

The “Endless Privileges®” package at this wonderful hotel offers fantastic all inclusive value in an uber-luxury setting. Private chauffeured transfers, a daily bottle of champagne, 24-hour room service, a one hour catamaran sunset cruise, a Thalasso Seawater Experience, daily shopping excursions by boat and gourmet dining are just some of the benefits of this superb package. It also offers unlimited premium brand beverages which you won’t see too often at all inclusive hotels. We are particularly fond of the Bvlgari® amenities in the bathroom. Apart from being wowed by the all inclusive option, we think you’ll love the resort for other reasons too. The Zoetry is regularly named as one of the most exceptional boutique resorts in Mexico and is set on a 500 yard private beach amid 14 acres of gardens. For a bite to eat, consider the resort's award-winning restaurants which are more than likely to leave a great taste in your mouth after a day of utter relaxation. 

LUX* Belle Mare, Mauritius

With its comprehensive ‘Pure Discovery’ all inclusive upgrade option featuring a dine around programme, a number of spa treatments, cooking lesson, tennis coaching session to improve that all important back hand, catamaran excursion and many other special additions for all ages, we think LUX* Belle Mare is a great option if you like the all inclusive style. The hotel is located on a stunning stretch of beach and if you ever get tired of sun bathing, there’s a vast array of other activities to keep you busy including water sports, tennis, mini golf and mountain bikes. It’s a very family friendly hotel too, so certainly one to consider if you’re taking the little ones or even the big ones with both kids' and teens' clubs. It also has a 2000 square metre pool, one of the largest on the island. For an all round great place to stay with everything included, we think it’s a winner. 

Jumby Bay, Antigua

Jumby Bay is an exclusive and luxurious all inclusive private island resort in Antigua. If you’re looking for fine dining, the exquisite cuisine offered in delightfully Caribbean settings include the original Estate House. You will also find an unlimited open bar, non-motorised water sports and sunset cocktail cruises included in your price. Although the private island that the hotel calls home is some 300 acres, it’s one of the smaller all inclusive resorts, with just 40 rooms, so it never feels too crowded. This is a tranquil and restful retreat where almost everything is included.

The BodyHoliday, Saint Lucia

Although not bearing the most traditional name, The BodyHoliday really does live up to its name. It’s the ultimate in all inclusive resorts and has just re-opened after a $20 million dollar refurbishment programme to the public areas of the resort. Not just all inclusive, this luxury hotel offers a holiday for your mind, body and soul. Spa bunnies need look no further then the resort facilities where you'll get one treatment every day of your holiday (except on arrival and departure days) included in the price. If that is not enough, the range of sporting activities will keep the biggest of the active holiday goers engaged. That’s why The BodyHoliday makes our top 10 in all inclusive hotels.
