All Inclusive Holidays to Mexico

Choose east or west for top class All Inclusive resorts

Touchdown after just over a 10-hour flight to some truly outstanding 5* All Inclusive Mexican hotels.

You now have three areas to choose from when going All Inclusive in Mexico. Firstly, its east coast houses party-central Cancun and the scenic Riviera Maya. Close to Mayan ruins, this region has Playa del Carmen in its midst for shops, nightlife and plenty of luxury, particularly at the exclusive suburb of Playacar.

Over on Mexico’s west coast, Nuevo Vallarta is a purpose-built resort with miles of tropical coastline, close to the cultured city of Puerto Vallarta. Neuvo Vallarta has dozens of restaurants, a waterpark and three golf courses of its own, plus the shops and attractions of the big city are never far off.

And last but certainly not least, Los Cabos is a stunning region located at the tip of Mexico’s 1,000-mile-long Baja Peninsula. With its luxury hotels, stunning beaches and great nightlife, it’s a hugely popular celebrity getaway for everyone from Adam Levine to Jennifer Aniston. Whether you’re looking for a wild weekend, a romantic break or a family-friendly holiday, Los Cabos has something to offer you, too.

Nearby beaches

Cancun has everything from small but lively Playa Linda with cocktail bars, water activities and a rotating tower for aerial views, right up to the sizeable Playa Delfines, where space on the sand is a given. Heading south, Playa del Carmen’s beach is busy in the north with Mamitas Beach Club for music events, and quieter in the south where there’s a dive centre and caves.

For more secluded and scenic sunbathing, Akumal is a huge beach close to Yal-Ku Lagoon, where you can snorkel in the reef. Or if you’re staying on the west coast, Neuvo Vallarta’s sands are long and the waves are good for watersports but there’s no strong current. Head south for busier beaches in Puerto Vallarta or north for loads of space and quiet times in Bucerias.

What's included in your holiday

As a baseline you can expect to get transfers, buffet meals, local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and a handful of activities as part of your All Inclusive holiday. But as Mexico has some of the world’s top All Inclusive hotels, you often get far more. Check the hotel information for details, and read up on some top hotels below, but we’re talking a la carte dining, free transport, on-site superclubs with drinks, watersports, theatre shows and cooking classes.
