Meliá Hotels International is the leading hotel brand in Spain and one of the largest in the world. Boasting 9 brands and 362 hotels across four continents, it’s at the cutting edge of hospitality. Its luxury all-inclusive arm, Paradisus by Meliá, launched a Destination Inclusive® Program in 2023 which transforms each resort into its own destination. With local-inspired décor, cuisine, and curated on-site activities and off-site experiences, Paradisus by Meliá helps guests authentically celebrate the unique culture and beauty of their destination.
The off-site experiences are made possible through booking the Family Concierge or The Reserve services. The Reserve is an adults-only oasis offering private pools, exclusive lounges, and serene adults-only spaces. Family Concierge is tailored for families and groups with spacious accommodations and specialized activities for all ages. No matter whether you’re traveling alone or with the whole family in tow, Paradisus by Meliá is your key to unlocking authentic travel.
The Best Family Vacations with Paradisus by Meliá

To you, a good vacation may mean recharging beneath fanning palms, flicking through a murder-mystery as you soak in the Riviera rays. To the little ones, the bigger the splash, the better. Paradisus Playa del Carmen and Paradisus Grand Cana are two delightful destinations designed to fit everyone’s idea of paradise – kids included. The former is set in Mexico, in a spectacular mangrove forest. Flanked by white sandy beaches and imbibed with a laidback Caribbean spirit, it’s the perfect place to let loose.
The latter is a five-star all-suites resort in Punta Cana, complete with an exclusive water park and countless in-house activities. Grand Cana is also pet-friendly, so no member of the pack is left behind. Both gems are available with the Family Concierge service, which includes extra-large suites with luxury amenities, a private lounge for VIP check-in and check-out, priority reservations, and exclusive access to pool, beach, lounge, and restaurant areas, and more.
Adults-Only Havens

For those seeking a more private oasis, Paradisus Los Cabos and Paradisus La Perla are two adults-only options on the Meliá menu. As part of the Leading Hotels of the World®, Paradisus Los Cabos epitomizes superior luxury, with an unmissable Mexican-inspired menu. Paradisus La Perla is an idyllic beach escape on the glamorous Riviera Maya, offering a uniquely indulgent experience with elegant swim-up rooms.
Whichever you choose, your trip can be upgraded with The Reserve service to enjoy exclusive off-site adventures. For example, The Reserve guests of Los Cabos can enjoy an exclusive visit to downtown San José, while The Reserve at La Perla unlocks a special yoga class in a private cenote. Both destinations are pet friendly, too.
Family-Friendly Resorts with Adults-Only Areas

Paradisus Palma Real combines the joy of family getaways with the serenity of adults-only trips. Based in Punta Cana, this five-star golf and spa resort exhibits beautiful ocean views, swim-up rooms, delicious dining opportunities, and a wealth of wellness activities. Booking with The Reserve delivers an ultra-indulgent adults-only experience including VIP resort access, spacious suites, and a complimentary water ritual at YHI Spa.
Paradisus Cancun is another immaculate option tailored to both families and adults. Choose between The Reserve and Family Concierge services to unlock exclusive perks, like a dreamy sunset cruise in the Nipchuté Lagoon. This resort is undergoing remodeling in June and will reopen April 2026.
These hotels host events throughout the year to immerse guests into the local lifestyle, enhancing the vacation experience at no extra cost. Events range from culinary shows like The Epicure, where guest chefs curate a unique dining experience inspired by the destination, to SUDA, holistic wellness classes, and Fashion and Travel Escapade, a Dominican resort fashion show. Refer to the Paradisus by Meliá events calendar to stay up-to-date with the latest showcases in each property.
