Paradise The Easy Way: Paradisus by Meliá

It’s a common dream that is thankfully easy to make true: Imagine a luxury escape where the beauty of the surroundings merges seamlessly with enriching experiences and personalized service. That scene describes Paradisus by Meliá, a collection of all-inclusive havens set in some of the world’s most inspiring destinations. From the sun-drenched shores of the Dominican Republic to the vibrant vistas of Mexico and the picturesque panoramas of Spain, each Paradisus resort invites sophisticated travelers to discover a world of wellness, cultural immersion, and memorable moments.

Paradisus by Meliá has the spot, whether it is about seeking romantic seclusion, family adventures, or just escaping to a rejuvenating retreat. The range of curated experiences to be found is designed to nourish mind, body, and soul.

Destination Inclusive®: A Vacation Beyond

Destination Inclusive®, introduced in 2023, flips the script on the traditional vacation experience. The program weaves the unique character and culture of each locale into every aspect of the guest experience, turning a stay into an immersive journey, turning travel into what it was meant to be.

Guests experience what is beyond the resort, to engage with the local community through curated experiences that go beyond the ordinary. Guests might find themselves participating in artisanal workshops or taking private cooking classes. Getting a taste of the destination also extends to culinary offerings that showcase regional flavors and ingredients within the resort’s restaurants.

The Reserve & Family Concierge, Paradisus’ suite category, takes the concept further with exclusive off-site activities. Guests go beyond the buffet and off the beach, to explore the heart and soul of a destination. Notable experiences include yoga in a private cenote in Riviera Maya, a sunset cruise at the Nichupté Lagoon in Cancun, or a visit to San Jose and a chocolate factory tour in Los Cabos. These become the kinds of experiences that transform a vacation into a story worth telling.

But the immersion doesn’t stop there. Each resort in the Paradisus by Meliá portfolio brings designs and amenities that reflect the destination’s spirit, from locally sourced materials to works of art created by regional artisans. It’s a holistic approach to leisure travel that transcends the typical all-inclusive model in hospitality.

Adults-Only: Where R&R Means Romance and Rejuvenation
