Most luxurious Hyatt all-inclusive resorts in the world - The Points Guy

The all-inclusive Resort space can be a little confusing, as the brands aren't always as well known as, say, a Hyatt Regency or Park Hyatt.

We're here to change that with this collection of our favorite Hyatt all-inclusive resorts.

The company's all-inclusive resort footprint grew exponentially in recent years thanks to a $2.7 billion acquisition of Apple Leisure Group, the owner of brands like Secrets and Dreams. However, Hyatt also has all-inclusive resort options from before this takeover, with offerings like the Alila Ventana Big Sur, the Ziva and Zilara brands and even Park Hyatt's posh outpost in the Maldives.

Ready to pack your bags? We sure are.

Alila Ventana Big Sur

Big Sur, California, USA

ALILA VENTANA BIG SUR/FACEBOOK

Best for: Romantic weekends away or disconnecting in nature while surrounded by world-class amenities.

Why stay here: Alila Ventana Big Sur is arguably one of the best Hyatt properties in North America, perhaps even the world, thanks to its one-of-a-kind location in California's coastal redwood groves and the value you can get from your Hyatt points.

Best way to book: Book through our partner Skylark for elitelike perks and on-property credits, or book using World of Hyatt points for one of the best redemptions in the program. It's also available through American Express' Fine Hotels + Resorts and Chase's Luxury Hotel & Resort Collection, where you can get valuable perks like credits to use on the property, room upgrades and late checkout, depending on the program.


Consider Alila Ventana Big Sur the grande dame of Hyatt resorts (and points redemptions) in the U.S.

Perched off the Pacific Coast Highway about a half-hour south of San Francisco, the West Coast resort is the pinnacle of all-inclusive luxury travel with a dose of seclusion. Alila Ventana Big Sur only features 59 guest rooms and suites, as well as 15 tented cabins spread out across 150 acres.

Travelers may not typically associate Hyatt's Alila brand with "all-inclusive" like you would with Zilara or Secrets. However, the California resort includes all meals and snacks with a nightly room rate. Alcoholic beverages are sold separately.

The vibe is glitzy glamping, with a lot of wood paneling and working fireplaces in guest rooms and suites. Leather chairs and earth tones complement the California redwood forest outside.

Head to The Sur House, Alila Ventana Big Sur's main restaurant, for breakfast and dinner with a Pacific Ocean view and locally sourced ingredients. Lunch can be delivered poolside to your chaise lounge. Spa Alila is a must-splurge, with alfresco treatments offered from outdoor cabanas — clarify and cleanse with an 80-minute facial or unwind in a copper soaking tub with an impeccable view of the redwoods beyond. The great outdoors were never so decadent.

Miraval Berkshires

Lenox, Massachusetts, USA

MIRAVAL BERKSHIRES/MIRAVAL

Best for: Couples who simply need to unwind.

Why stay here: This luxury wellness retreat is the place to trade the fast pace of the modern world for a tranquil retreat ... and use Hyatt points to do it.

Best way to book: Book through our partner Skylark for elitelike perks and on-property credits or book directly with Hyatt to earn or redeem points. Go through Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts for extra perks like guaranteed late checkout and a $100 property credit.


This luxe wellness retreat exudes a contemporary atmosphere in Massachusetts' otherwise rustic, woodsy Berkshires region. Miraval Berkshires is a magnet for city dwellers (it's driveable from New York City and Boston) looking for a little R&R — but perhaps without all the dietary (and drinking) limitations of other wellness retreats in the area. Keep in mind: While alcohol is served at Miraval, it is not included in your nightly rate like all other food and drinks.

Sleek, clean and bright designs dominate throughout the resort, including the modern Carriage House suites and Cottages. However, the 10 recently renovated rooms and suites found in the Wyndhurst Mansion are a worthy splurge. Named for legendary artists and prominent families of the Gilded Age, suites include the Vanderbilt Suite (the largest, as you might expect) and the cozier Wharton and Hawthorne rooms — all include modern fixtures and furnishings and upgraded bathrooms. Larger rooms and suites include decorative fireplaces, which are great for unwinding and reflecting following a day of treatments.

Speaking of treatments, the Life in Balance Spa at Miraval Berkshires is a major draw and, at 29,000 square feet, a focal point of the entire resort. We're fans of the 80-minute Manuka Honey Quench body treatment to give the skin some ultraluxurious moisturization and glow.

TPG loved the food and beverage offerings at Miraval when we checked in. 1894 Restaurant, named for the year Wyndhurst Mansion wrapped construction, is the resort's fine dining option serving a four-course tasting menu that features scrumptious offerings like Maine lobster risotto and Hudson Valley duck.

Rates start at $804 or 40,000 World of Hyatt points per night.

Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos

San Jose del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico

HYATT ZIVA LOS CABOS/FACEBOOK

Best for: Families wanting an upscale and memorable experience where everything is taken care of for you.

Why stay here: Hyatt's Ziva brand is one of the best all-inclusive experiences money (or points) can buy.

Best way to book: Book directly with Hyatt to earn or redeem World of Hyatt points.

Fun in the sun is easy to access at Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos, on the outskirts of San Jose del Cabo but only a 20-minute drive from Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) in Mexico.

While Ziva is the family-friendly option of Hyatt's Ziva and Zilara all-inclusive brand siblings, TPG found the property to have plenty of options for visitors of all ages (including those who are looking for a little more seclusion away from children).

Guest rooms and suites fit the Baja California feel with terracotta tiles, light decor and dark wood accents. Ocean views are a must, and the Master Suite tier of rooms affords extra space as well as Hyatt club-level amenities.

On the food front, TPG recommends the poolside bars, which serve up delicious fish tacos and ceviche with service that is both friendly and fast. Bon Vivant, the resort's French restaurant, is another winner with salad nicoise and duck breast — and it's worth splurging on the wine list that isn't part of the all-inclusive offering.

Rates start at $320 or 25,000 World of Hyatt points per night.

Hyatt Ziva Cancun

Cancun, Mexico

HYATT ZIVA CANCUN/FACEBOOK

Best for: Teens with a sweet tooth.

Why stay here: The resort has a teens club with virtual reality experiences and an array of water sports, plus a candy room that's part of the all-inclusive rates.

Best way to book: Book directly with World of Hyatt.

Family-friendly Cancun might not be as stunning as Hyatt Ziva Cancun, an all-inclusive resort with spectacular views and sprawling beaches in the heart of Cancun. Don't miss the expansive pool deck with chaise lounges, swim-up bars and hot tubs.

TPG favors rooms in the Ziva's 17-floor Club Tower, which includes the hotel's guest rooms and suites with Hyatt Ziva Club access. Ziva Club access includes things like private check-in and checkout and personalized concierge services. While the resort is family-friendly, couples will likely want to look into a stay in the adults-only Turquoize Tower. The Turquoize building includes rooms and suites with extras like private infinity pools or hot tubs.

The dining lineup is extensive, to put it mildly. A few of our favorites include El Mercado, Hyatt Ziva Cancun's all-day buffet, and Pasteles, a dessert parlor to satisfy the sweetest of sweet teeth. Food carts even regularly circle the pool, so if you leave here hungry, it's your own fault. The alcohol selection is also surprisingly highbrow for an all-inclusive resort and features spirits like Johnnie Walker Black whisky, Belvedere vodka and Don Julio tequila.

Rates start at $460 or 35,000 World of Hyatt points per night.

Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall

Montego Bay, Jamaica

HYATT ZILARA ROSE HALL/PARK HYATT

Best for: Couples looking for a traditional all-inclusive experience where they can redeem points.

Why stay here: Stay here if you're craving a classic sun, sea and sand getaway with a warm Jamaican welcome and access to an array of amenities.

Best way to book: Book the Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall directly on Hyatt's website to earn or redeem World of Hyatt points and take advantage of elite status benefits.

Hyatt made a major push into all-inclusive resorts in recent years, but one of TPG's favorites has been around since the more recent expansion. Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall manages to feel secluded yet is mere minutes from Montego Bay's Sangster International Airport (MBJ).

This adults-only resort features attentive service, a slew of amenities and a litany of dining options that makes this one of TPG's favorite all-inclusive resorts. Guest rooms and suites offer airy, light environs perfect for a seaside vacation — we particularly love the swim-up suites. The Grand Butler Suite with personalized butler service is an ideal splurge for those looking for particularly attentive care.

On the activity front, spend time ranging from a plunge in the resort's three-level pool to getting adventurous with surfing on Montego Bay. Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall's spa features treatment rooms and a beachside cabana to indulge in a massage on the waterfront. Who doesn't love getting rid of knots with crashing waves serenading you?

Dining options can satisfy a wide variety of taste buds. The resort's upscale French restaurant, Petit Pariz, is ideal for a romantic date night, while Jamaican RootZ by HoriZons is great for all-day alfresco dining with a waterfront view.

Rates start at $492 or 25,000 World of Hyatt points per night.

Zoëtry Paraiso de la Bonita Riviera Maya

Riviera Maya, Mexico

ZOETRY PARAISO DE LA BONITA RIVI

Best for: Travelers wanting the ease of an all-inclusive resort without too much of a party scene.

Why stay here: Splurge on an oceanfront Butler Suite for a tailor-made experience with gorgeous views steps from the sand.

Best way to book: Book directly with Hyatt to earn or redeem World of Hyatt points and enjoy any elite benefits.

If you're a little confused by the various all-inclusive brands under the Hyatt umbrella these days, have no fear. Zoetry is an all-inclusive brand targeting "holistic experiences" with "exceptional service." Basically, you will almost certainly leave feeling pampered and more in tune with your wellness-oriented self.

Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita Riviera Maya is one of our favorite ways to do just that. The Riviera Maya resort features a remarkable stretch of beach and attentive service, luxe accommodations and dining options galore. Tranquility is the name of the game here: less bottomless-well vodka and disco and more top-shelf liquor and soothing guitar music to ocean sounds.

Rooms and suites are sprawling. The resort's smallest room is 800 square feet (essentially, the size of a two-bedroom apartment). Oceanfront views are a mainstay, as well as indoor-outdoor layouts, private balconies and decor featuring local art.

On the dining front, be sure to indulge in the fresh grilled seafood with waterfront views at El Chiringuito or the top-rated international cuisine at La Canoa, which is also known for its wine list (available at an added cost beyond the all-inclusive rate).

Of course, the holistic brand standard that Zoetry is known for, the Thalasso Center & Spa, is the draw here. Signature offerings include a Temazcal ancestral treatment to cleanse mind, body and soul, and a simpler Mayan massage encompassing cup treatment and reflexology.

Rates start at $396 or 25,000 World of Hyatt points per night.
