Luxury Redefined: Marriott Bonvoy’s All-Inclusive Offerings
In 2023, All-Inclusive by Marriott Bonvoy made waves by launching its first luxury all-inclusive property, the Sanctuary Cap Cana, a Luxury Collection Resort in the Dominican Republic. Since then, the brand has been on a mission to expand its portfolio, introducing properties that are redefining the luxury all-inclusive experience for discerning travelers around the globe. Let’s dive into the standout locations that are pushing the envelope in hospitality.
Hacienda-Style Luxury in Riviera Maya
At the forefront of this expansion is Paraiso de la Bonita, which opened in January 2025 in Puerto Morelos, Mexico. This resort takes inspiration from hacienda-style architecture, skillfully blending heritage with modern luxury. Boasting 100 oceanfront suites, each with private balconies or terraces, this adults-only sanctuary is nestled between lush mangroves and the breathtaking Caribbean Sea.
What makes Paraiso de la Bonita truly remarkable is its commitment to wellness and culinary experiences. The resort features an open-air Thalasso therapy center, a rare find in the Caribbean. Guests can indulge in 24/7 in-suite dining, savor premium spirits, and explore a variety of curated culinary offerings across six restaurants.
In addition to luxurious accommodations, the resort presents opportunities for hands-on engagement through chef-guided workshops and tastings of wine and tequila. For those seeking a more relaxed atmosphere, the Bonita Piano Bar brings together haute mixology and live music, making it a perfect spot for socializing.
Mayan Heritage Meets Modern Elegance
Another gem in Marriott’s crown is Almare, set to open in October 2024 on Isla Mujeres. This boutique-style resort features 109 rooms that pay homage to local designs and Caribbean vistas. Almare aims to infuse the experience with deep cultural connections to Mayan heritage and Ixchel mythology.
The property is designed with relaxation in mind, showcasing a rooftop infinity pool alongside serene beachfront areas where guests can partake in water sports. Dining options include the acclaimed Seasalt rooftop restaurant, which offers panoramic views of the ocean, elevating every meal into a feast for both the palate and the eyes.
Wellness takes center stage at the Alma Spa, whose circular design symbolizes fertility and life cycles in Mayan culture. With seven treatment rooms, the spa focuses on nature-integrated treatments, allowing guests to unwind amid beautiful surroundings.
A World-First W Experience
As the newest addition to this impressive portfolio, W Punta Cana represents a groundbreaking milestone as the first W-branded all-inclusive resort worldwide. Set to open in August 2025, this property is designed for adults seeking a vibrant, dynamic experience.
The resort features bold, playful designs complemented by private pools and an energetic nightlife scene. With the "Whatever/Whenever" service approach, guests can expect personalized care that extends to 12 restaurants and bars, 24/7 in-room dining, and a rich lineup of daily entertainment.
Dining highlights include Trade Market, known for its live cooking stations, and Scena, which offers a delightful blend of Dominican and Caribbean cuisine. For those looking for a more exclusive experience, the 33 1/3 Speakeasy Bar promises intimate vibes and specialty cocktails.
Elevating the All-Inclusive Experience
Together, these luxurious properties underscore Marriott’s unwavering commitment to elevating the all-inclusive experience beyond traditional expectations. Travelers can now immerse themselves in unique cultural connections, indulge in exceptional culinary programs, and enjoy personalized luxury service, all set against the stunning backdrops of some of the Caribbean’s most desirable destinations.
From the serene landscapes of Riviera Maya to the vibrant energy of Punta Cana, Marriott Bonvoy’s offerings are not just about indulgence; they represent a cultural voyage that invites guests to discover and appreciate the rich heritage of the locations they visit.
