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.
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.

Europe is filled with places we return to time and time again, from the sun-soaked Greek Islands to the colourful towns of the Amalfi Coast. But sometimes, discovering somewhere new can make a summer holiday feel even more special. Whether you’re looking for turquoise bays, incredible food, atmospheric old towns, or simply a slower pace, these European destination swaps offer a fresh take on some much-loved holiday favourites.
A winter escape doesn’t have to mean returning to the same familiar resort or travelling for long hours in search of some sunshine. A short flight can bring you to Atlantic islands, Moroccan coastlines, and Mediterranean towns where mild days are made for exploring at an unhurried pace. These places each have their own character, from volcanic trails and harbourfront cafés to ancient landmarks and long, breezy beaches.
Touring holidays come in all kinds of shapes: you might travel solo, follow a planned route by rail, sail between ports, or combine several stops into one trip. The right style depends on how much structure you enjoy, how far you want to roam, and whether you’d rather plan the details yourself or leave them to someone else. Here are five approaches to consider, with destinations that suit each one.
