The Best All-Inclusive Hotels for a Luxury Vacation

Forget the clichés that come to mind when you think of an all-inclusive hotel vacation... Travellers Society has selected the best all-inclusive spots for you, luxury hotels that transcend this concept by offering stays focused on elegance, service, and well-being.

1- Kappa Club Thai Beach Resort 5-star in Thailand

Nestled in the vegetation of a coconut grove, in the preserved region of Khao Lak, north of the Phuket peninsula, this All-inclusive hotel 5-star living in osmosis with the generous nature that surrounds it. Its very harmonious contemporary architecture was inspired by the villages and traditions of the Moken, those nomadic fishermen of southern Thailand. The 338 rooms, suites, and villas stretch along a beach whose white sand seems to melt into the clear waters of the Andaman Sea. Elegantly appointed in a modern Zen style, the latter offer views of the open sea or gardens, with some having direct access to the resort's swimming pools, which meander through the exotic vegetation or spill onto the beach equipped with sun loungers. 

One could easily be content with this postcard-perfect setting, indulging in an all-inclusive getaway... But the Kappa Club offers much more than its luxurious and exotic surroundings. It provides superb gourmet buffets blending Asian and international specialties, a refined Thai restaurant, and a beach restaurant serving delicious Italian dishes. Numerous sports activities are available on-site, and all sorts of themed evenings are organized to transform the beach into a dance floor, a cinema, or even a pop-up casino. But the resort's main asset is its offering of immersion into authentic Thailand through exciting activities like visits to Buddhist temples, Thai cooking classes, or mountain biking excursions through the jungle. All these «Kappa» moments allow for a truly immersive experience in the country...

It's south of Casablanca, along an endless beach near the historic village of El Jadida, that you'll find the Magazan Beach Resort, a superb riad hotel nestled between the ocean and an 18-hole golf course. On this immense estate – a whopping 250 hectares! – the all-inclusive offering is on a pharaonic scale, yet with all the warm charm of Morocco. Both seaside and golf-focused, this exceptional resort boasts 492 opulent rooms and suites that blend Eastern tradition with contemporary design, local craftsmanship, and high-end comfort.

You can breathe in deeply in these spacious surroundings where you can just as easily lounge by the XXL pool, gallop on the beach, or improve your swing, as you can play tennis on one of the three clay courts, try surfing or windsurfing. Luxurious and refined, Mazagan Beach Resort also boasts a 2,000 m² spa enhanced by marble and mosaic, a temple of well-being where relaxing massages and other traditional treatments like black soap scrubs or rhassoul wraps are offered. We take full advantage of it while the children burn off energy at the Kids Club, under the watchful eyes of the animators.

3- Club Med in Tignes

Expect a top-tier all-inclusive experience at this Club Med imagined by Jean-Philippe Nuel, the star architect and designer of Luxury hotels and palaces. This last one created an incredible building of glass, wood, and stone, a sort of modern cathedral dedicated to the mountains, skiing, and hiking. This brand-new flagship from the trident brand offers you the chance to strap on your skis, boots, or snowshoes to take on the hundreds of kilometers of slopes and trails in the Tignes-Val d'Isère area, which reaches altitudes between 1,550 and 3,450 meters.

It's a true paradise for athletes who can enjoy advantageous services such as a ski room with access to the slopes, the option to pre-book skis and boots from Rossignol and have them delivered upon arrival, or access to instructors for group or individual lessons through a partnership with the ESF. After sports, you can find comfort in a warm, colorful, and spacious environment that includes the lobby, a bar, a theater, and a large lounge area with ottomans, benches, and sofas, featuring large bay windows, a fireplace, and big blonde wood bookshelves. While the atmosphere is very convivial in the common areas, tranquility can be found in the sauna and hammam of the hotel spa signed Sothys, by the 25-meter lap pool, or in one of the 430 cozy rooms and suites, each with a balcony and most offering mountain views.

4- Nile Cruise with The Oberoi Zahra

The most beautiful ship on the Nile is named Zahra, and it sails under the flag of a luxury hotel group renowned worldwide for its refinement: Oberoi. This is not an all-inclusive hotel, but rather a floating oasis as luxurious as a palace, gracefully covering the 300 km separating Luxor from Aswan in seven days. But everything is, of course, included on this grand 5-star yacht, where suite space has been prioritized over their number. Thus, The Oberoi Zahra offers the most spacious cabins of all ships cruising on the Nile. Cabins measuring between 25 and 50 m², stylishly decorated in an elegant monochrome of beige and brown. All promise you the most refined stay, suspended between the blue waters of the river, the green of the palm groves, and the ochre of the desert. 

Few cruises offer the Luxor to Aswan 7-day route, and it's safe to say that here, supreme luxury lies in taking the time to admire the Nile's beauties, its ever-changing landscapes, its ancient temples, its mysterious tombs, its peaceful islands, and its lively villages. The magic unfolds during guided land tours and continues on board, in the spa or jacuzzi on the upper deck, during evening performances of dance and classical music, and at meal times in the ship's restaurant, whose gourmet cuisine has nothing to envy to the great chefs... Unique!

5- Amankora in Bhutan

For an inspiring all-inclusive vacation, fly to the peaks of Bhutan where Amankora promises an immersive and almost spiritual experience in the heart of a majestic country. Far more than a stay at a luxury hotel stamped with the Aman name, it's a true retreat offered in several charming lodges scattered across five valleys covered in forests, orange groves, or terraced rice paddies. You can move between them, transitioning from a lodge incorporating a traditional farm to a contemporary refuge resembling a fortress, all while enjoying the calm and soothing elegance of a suite designed as a sanctuary at each location. 

From Paro, at 2,250 meters, to Thimphu, in the heart of a pine forest, through the tropical Punakha Valley or Bumthang, the cradle of the Bhutanese monarchy, each lodge is a gateway to a region of Bhutan. From the moment you disembark to the end of your stay, you will be carried away by Aman's sense of refinement and organization. A guide and driver will accompany you through the ruins of Drukyel Dzong monastery, hiking in the Jigme Singye Wangchuck Nature Reserve or to Tiger's Nest, the first Buddhist temple built in the kingdom. Pure moments of bliss in prospect for a weekend nature…
