Some islands have beautiful beaches. Some islands have great all inclusive resorts. These two things don’t always come together — but sometimes, you find places with both. Indeed, a big part of the all-inclusive experience is having everything you need — and there’s no more important element than a great beach. That’s where these all inclusive resorts come in, combining great hospitality with world-class beaches.
Palm Island – This resort is one of the most beautiful locations in the entire Caribbean — the private, 135-acre Palm Island in the heart of the Grenadines chain. There are five white-sand beaches here, all with stunning views and, more importantly, all of which you can often have entirely to yourself.
Grand Velas Riviera Maya – This hotel is known as one of the beacons of luxury in the Caribbean (and gourmet food), but it’s also home to one of the best stretches of beach in all of the Mexican Caribbean. It’s a combination that’s pretty hard to beat.
Curtain Bluff
It’s equal parts luxury resort and private club, an exquisite, charming resort that’s everything you want in a Caribbean hotel. And then there are the perfect white-sand beaches, some of the best in Antigua.
Hard Rock Punta Cana – Punta Cana’s world famous beach is great for everything from watersports to jogging to yoga to just about anything you can think of. Couple that with an incredibly energetic, fun resort and you really get the best of both worlds — with everything included.
It’s one of the most beautiful beaches in all of the Caribbean: Long Bay, the exotic, seemingly endless white-sand strand in Tortola. And the Long Bay Beach Club is the perfect castaway retreat, with on-the-sand beach houses and bungalows that are the perfect gateway to enjoying the beach.
Galley Bay, Antigua – Antigua’s signature all-inclusive resort combines outstanding food, service and enchantment. The best part is that so many of the rooms are right on the beach, meaning that highly-sought-after toes-in-the-sand Caribbean experience few properties truly deliver.
Occidental Aruba
Barcelo Aruba Resort – When it comes to beaches, there’s nowhere better than Aruba, and this all-inclusive institution is smack in the heart of all of the action on one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful patches of sand, Palm Beach.
Couples Negril
Jamaica’s legendary Seven Mile Beach is home to an oasis: Couples Negril, a romantic, adults-only property that marries modern luxury with an old-fashioned Jamaican sensibility.
Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana
This is set on a seemingly endless stretch of beach in the Bavaro area of Punta Cana. That also makes it one of the Caribbean’s best places for jogging and walking — that is, if you want to get up from your chair underneath the swaying palms.
Beaches
Grace Bay Beach is among the top beaches in all of the Caribbean, a perfect strand of impossibly white sand home to all of the activities any family could ever want. It’s no surprise that one of the region’s leading family resorts is right here.
