Sun Palace

Cancun All-Inclusive, Adults Only

Is your daily reality getting the best of you? Remember there is life beyond your office cubicle– live your best life at the Sun Palace Cancun. The exclusively adults-only resort will bring that light straight back into your eyes as you indulge yourself — a bit of surf & turf poolside while enjoying umbrella-topped premium alcoholic beverages including Grey Goose and Tanqueray will cure any woes. Inside your spacious room, you’ll find opulent amenities like double whirlpool tubs. Slip into your bathrobe and slippers for some primping and priming in the bathroom using included amenities like CHI hair products and flat iron. 

Book tours that take you beyond resort life to uncover ancient Mayan civilization at Chichen Itza, sailing to Isla Mujeres or snorkeling in a mangrove jungle. Or simply savor the moments of doing nothing more than enjoying the view of the Caribbean from the comfort of your sun lounger at any of the three infinity pools.

Other memorable vacation moments can include taking up Latin dance, tequila tasting with the pros or dance your heart out in your bathing suit at a pool party.

Secrets Aura Cozumel Grand Resort

Cozumel All-Inclusive, Adults Only

When a resort goes as far as to trademark the term ‘Unlimited luxury,’ you can expect it to apply to every aspect of your stay, as showcased by Secrets Aura Cozumel. The adults-only resort is the only one on the island of Cozumel. Included in your stay is access to some top-shelf drinks, food at 11 restaurants, a private sunset dinner on the docks, four swimming pools,  and a white sand beach that leads into some awe-inspiring snorkeling. You’ll run out of fingers to count your blessings. 

While the room concept here is decadently all-suites for everyone, an upgrade can get you your own private rooftop swimming pool with an ocean view. The adults-only resort is also home to a spa and activities galore– kayaks, live open-air shows, and hobie cats are just a few options among the offerings.

Zoëtry Paraíso de la Bonita Riviera Maya

If food is the way to your heart, the hotel offers an all-inclusive meal package for their three onsite restaurants.

Hotel Mousai

Quiet time in Puerto Vallarta

Perched on a hill overlooking the Banderas Bay, the Hotel Mousai is a lavish, adults-only experience nearby charming Puerto Vallarta. We spy a setting made for honeymooners and canoodlers as the suites seem to be designed for those looking to maximize on private time; furnished terraces with sweeping views of the bay are decked out with hammocks and gold-tiled plunge pools ensuring you never miss out on the endless sun. If you decide it’s time to leave the lock of your lover’s embrace, the rooftop infinity pool or private beach with loungers are the perfect place to indulge in some unlimited cocktails and gourmet snacks.

Meals at any of the five onsite restaurants are included and with tantalizing choices of Japanese and innovative Mexican among others, the hotel goes beyond the resort standard buffets by miles. With a host of activities including the likes of snorkeling, jungle hiking tours, and yoga on your choice of beach, mountain deck or down by the river, you’ll have a hard time finding any logic to leaving at the end of your trip. 

Villa La Estancia Riviera Nayarit

Reclining out in your Puerto Vallarta Hacienda

Just a bit northwest of Puerto Vallarta but sharing the same sparkling views of the Banderas Bay, Villa La Estancia Riviera Nayarit is far from the stresses of everyday life. It’s practically impossible to remain immune to the hypnotic relaxation of the resort where your days are filled with spa treatments aimed to detox or rejuvenate, cocktails served from the swim up bar at the unbelievable two-story pool.

Rooms are decorated in either a classic hacienda or colonial style. Overlook the ocean or the lush gardens from your balcony or terrace and dive into the L’Occitane bath products (best enjoyed in the whirlpool bathtub). Meals can be taken at either the poolside grill or Mexican steakhouse onsite or wander over to the sister property for a taste of Italy or to try out the locally-inspired ceviche. You’ll find that inner zen quicker than a year’s worth of meditation instruction.
