A new generation of luxury all-inclusive wellness resorts is transforming premium hospitality as major hotel groups introduce adults-only escapes, private enclaves, destination-inspired dining and increasingly sophisticated wellbeing programmes.
Upcoming and recently opened properties including Amàre Cancun, MGallery Rhodes, JW Marriott Costa Elena, Paraíso de la Bonita and Miraval The Red Sea demonstrate how resorts are moving beyond traditional package holidays. Instead, operators are targeting travellers seeking privacy, cultural authenticity, personalised service and meaningful wellness experiences within a simplified all-inclusive model.
The trend is unfolding across Mexico, Greece, Costa Rica and Saudi Arabia, linking established coastal destinations with new resort developments designed around higher-value, experience-focused tourism.
Amàre Cancun Expands Adults-Only Hospitality
Amàre Cancun Adults Only All-Inclusive Resort, Curio by Hilton, is scheduled to open on October 31, 2026, marking the Spanish Amàre brand’s first expansion beyond its established properties in Marbella and Ibiza.
Owned and managed by Fuerte Group Hotels, the Cancun resort will feature 429 rooms and suites, nine restaurants, nine bars, a coffee shop, three outdoor pools and dedicated spa and fitness facilities. The beachfront property will combine Amàre’s Mediterranean-influenced identity with Mexican culture and Cancun’s Caribbean setting.
Its addition to Curio Collection by Hilton will also connect the independently styled resort with Hilton’s international distribution and Hilton Honors network. This illustrates how regional hospitality businesses are using global brand partnerships to gain wider market visibility while retaining distinctive concepts.
MGallery Rhodes Brings Boutique Luxury to Greece
Accor and Greek hospitality company Colossos SA are developing the first MGallery Collection property in Rhodes, scheduled to welcome guests in spring 2027.
Located in Kallithea, the adults-only resort will include 222 guestrooms, suites and bungalows overlooking the Aegean Sea. Accor has positioned the hotel around privacy, personalised hospitality, contemporary architecture, gastronomy and local storytelling inspired by Rhodes.
The project will add a new boutique luxury experience to one of Greece’s most established island destinations. Its adults-only positioning may help Rhodes attract travellers seeking quieter premium stays beyond the island’s traditional family and package-tour markets.
New accommodation investment can also support restaurants, local suppliers, tour operators and cultural attractions while strengthening the island’s competitiveness during the European shoulder seasons.
JW Marriott Costa Elena Redefines All-Inclusive Travel
JW Marriott Costa Elena Resort & Spa, All-Inclusive, is scheduled to open in Costa Rica on September 10, 2026. The property will represent JW Marriott’s entry into the all-inclusive resort segment.
Located within the Costa Elena destination in Guanacaste, the resort will accommodate couples and families through curated dining, wellness, recreational and nature-focused experiences. Marriott describes the concept as a stay centred on connection, tranquillity and thoughtfully included activities.
Its development shows that the premium all-inclusive movement is no longer limited to adults-only hotels. Some properties are creating separate spaces and enhanced services that allow affluent couples and families to share a resort while maintaining different guest experiences.
Costa Rica’s natural environment also creates opportunities for resort programmes connected with wildlife, conservation, outdoor exploration and mindful travel.
Paraíso de la Bonita Advances Riviera Maya Wellness
Paraíso de la Bonita, a Luxury Collection Resort, Riviera Maya, offers an adults-only, all-inclusive experience built around 100 spacious oceanfront suites with private balconies or terraces.
The property’s wellness identity is supported by its Thalasso Spa and temazcal experiences, while its dining portfolio includes Mexican, Mediterranean, Latin American and Asian concepts. Marriott has also introduced an experience offering guests access to an ocean-inspired thalassotherapy pool as part of the all-inclusive stay.
This combination of wellness, gastronomy and destination culture reflects growing demand for resorts where relaxation programmes are integrated into the holiday rather than treated as optional additions.
Miraval The Red Sea Sets Wellness Benchmark
Miraval The Red Sea has opened on Saudi Arabia’s Shura Island as the wellness brand’s first resort outside the United States.
The adults-only retreat features 180 guestrooms and suites alongside the 40,000-square-foot Life in Balance Spa, which includes 39 indoor and outdoor treatment rooms. Hyatt has positioned the resort around transformative wellbeing, mindfulness and immersive programming in the Red Sea destination.
Its international debut signals the growing importance of wellness-led tourism within Saudi Arabia’s expanding luxury hospitality sector.
Together, these resorts reveal a broader shift from volume-driven all-inclusive holidays towards personalised, design-conscious and culturally connected escapes. By combining accommodation, dining, wellness and destination experiences, global hotel groups are creating a new premium model capable of attracting travellers seeking convenience without sacrificing exclusivity or authenticity.
