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

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.

Experience boutique beachfront living in Mexico

14 August 2026

For those who like their Caribbean escape with a little more character, The Fives Oceanfront offers boutique luxury right on the beachfront in Puerto Morelos. This former fishing village has kept a noticeably slower pace than some of the Riviera Maya’s larger resorts, with local restaurants, small shops, and the town’s leaning lighthouse all within easy reach. Back at the hotel, the atmosphere is equally laid-back, with contemporary design, plenty of space to switch off, and the Caribbean Sea taking centre stage.

Experience the adventurous side of Turks and Caicos

14 August 2026

This corner of the Caribbean has all the ingredients for an easy Caribbean escape, from the powder-soft sands of Grace Bay to brilliantly clear water made for long afternoons by the sea. But spend a little more time here, and there’s another side to the islands worth exploring. You can kayak through mangroves, snorkel over coral reefs, venture across to North and Middle Caicos, and seek out local food and music back on Providenciales. Better still, these experiences can easily sit alongside slower beach days, giving you a holiday that feels adventurous without needing to be action-packed from morning to night.

Discover the Dolomites, Italy's ultimate mountain escape

14 August 2026

There is another side to Italy beyond its famous cities, coastlines, and lakes. In the north of the country, the Dolomites rise dramatically above alpine meadows, forested valleys, and villages where Italian, Austrian, and Ladin influences come together. Recognised by UNESCO for their exceptional natural beauty and geology, these mountains are made for anyone wanting to spend their days outdoors without giving up the things Italy does so well: beautiful places to stay, long lunches, and excellent wine. Whether you're an experienced hiker or simply like the idea of cable-car rides, gentle walks, and lunch in a mountain hut, here's how to experience the Dolomites your way.
