Why AVA Resort is changing the all-inclusive experience in Cancún

30 January 2026

All-inclusive resorts come in many forms, but AVA Resort Cancun sets out to do things a little differently. This newly opened property focuses on space, flexibility, and experiences that work just as well for couples as they do for families or groups. With a prime location just ten minutes from Cancún International Airport, it’s an easy arrival and an even easier place to settle into holiday mode.

Why AVA Resort is changing the all-inclusive experience in Cancún

Spacious stays with a modern edge

Accommodation sets the tone straight away. Rooms are sleek and contemporary, with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame views of the Caribbean Sea, and every balcony comes with its own hot tub. It’s the kind of setup that invites slow mornings and long evenings, with plenty of room to relax between beach time, dining plans, and everything else the resort has on offer.

Dining without limits

Food is treated as an experience rather than a schedule here. Six fine-dining restaurants showcase flavours from Mexico, the Mediterranean, Asia, and France, while eight casual venues keep things relaxed throughout the day. Coffee shops, an ice-cream parlour, and round-the-clock room service mean guests can eat when and how they like, without feeling tied to set times or more formal settings.

Pools, lagoons, and time well spent

At the heart of the resort is AVA Bay, a vast natural saltwater lagoon created using Crystal Lagoon Technology. It’s designed for all ages, with space for non-motorised water sports and an inflatable obstacle course, alongside six additional pools, including an adults-only day club and a lively family pool with a swim-up bar. Younger guests are well catered for too, with a dedicated kids’ pool and small water park adding to the fun.

Wellness, entertainment, and everything in between

Beyond the pools, AVA Resort Cancun leans into entertainment and wellbeing in equal measure. The spa features 55 treatment rooms and a hydrotherapy circuit, while the fitness centre spans two floors with group classes on offer. Families can take advantage of the kids’ and teens’ clubs, bowling alley, arcade, and escape rooms, while evenings bring theatre shows, cocktails, and late-night dancing at the on-site nightclub. With a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course right next door, it’s an easy place to fill every day - or do absolutely nothing at all.

Three ways to stay at JA The Resort, Dubai

Stretching along one of Dubai’s longest private beaches, JA The Resort offers a refreshingly flexible way to holiday. Instead of a one-size-fits-all experience, you’ll find three distinct hotels sharing the same shoreline, dining scene, and activity offerings. Guests can move freely between restaurants, bars, and experiences, choosing days that are as full or as slow as you like. Whether you’re travelling with children, craving space and privacy, or want a modern resort with plenty to do, each hotel brings its own personality to the stay.

Chasing the sun: where to go for sunshine, season by season

If sunshine is non-negotiable when you travel, choosing the right destination at the right time makes all the difference. Some places are at their best when others are off-season, giving you warmer days, clearer skies, and a better overall experience. From southern-hemisphere summers to autumn escapes that keep the heat going, here’s where to plan your trip for sunshine throughout the year.
