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.

5 Whistler Ski experiences you didn’t know about

28 September 2026

Whistler is well known for its scale, snow, and lively village, but there is more to a ski holiday here than simply working your way around Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. For UK visitors, it also works well as part of a wider Canada trip; you can spend a few nights in Vancouver before or after the mountains, try something different on the slopes, and make the most of local knowledge once you arrive. Here are five Whistler ski experiences worth knowing about when planning your visit.

Snow, onsens, and ramen: Discover skiing, Japan style

25 September 2026

Japan puts a very different spin on a ski holiday. Days on the mountain might be followed by a soak in a steaming onsen, dinner in a tiny ramen restaurant, or an evening wandering through a traditional snow-covered town. And there’s plenty of choice when it comes to where you ski. From Hokkaido’s famous powder to the hot spring villages of Nagano, the easy Tokyo connections of Niigata, and the winter landscapes of Tohoku, each region offers its own reason to head to the mountains.
