In the crisp embrace of autumn, Paradisus by Meliá, the crown jewel of Destination Inclusive luxury resorts under the expansive umbrella of Meliá Hotels International, extends a warm invitation to globe-trotters and aficionados of opulence. Their siren call echoes across seven coveted locations around the world, and in each, they've distilled the essence of lavish leisure into something altogether extraordinary. Picture yourself strolling through the paradisiacal embrace of Paradisus Gran Canaria – one of their latest offerings – and you're already on your way.
Paradisus has long been renowned for rewriting the script of all-inclusive vacations, and this fall, they've decided to add more exhilarating chapters to their story. With lavish sanctuaries in Los Cabos, Playa del Carmen, Cancun, Punta Cana, and now the sultry shores of Spain, this brand continues to redefine the art of pampering.
Let's start our global escapade with a visit to Paradisus Los Cabos. This luxurious five-star haven, a distinguished member of Leading Hotels of the World, is in the throes of transformation into an adults-only paradise. By January 2024, it will stand tall alongside its adult-focused siblings, Paradisus La Perla and Paradisus Salinas Lanzarote. Fear not, for all reservations with children will be lovingly honored until January 7, 2024. The metamorphosis brings forth a fresh bouquet of adult-centric experiences, including revamped suites in The Reserve. Here, guests are granted access to secluded treasures – private beachfront, pools, lounges, and the exclusive allure of Destination Inclusive moments. One such marvel is a nearby canyon, steeped in history, that whispers tales of millennia past, and all of this is included in your nightly sojourn.
Now, let's jet off to the white-sand shores of Playa del Carmen, where Paradisus La Perla awaits. This adults-only sanctuary has unfurled 49 newly-renovated suites in The Reserve, each adorned with a vibrant, locally-inspired design and stocked with tantalizing amenities from Biology and local Mexican treasures. And it doesn't stop there; they've also summoned the spirits of renewal for their bars and restaurants – South Avenue Bar, Twelvet, Nespresso Corner, and Blue Agave Restaurant are all dancing with fresh energy.
But what truly sets Paradisus apart is their culinary symphony, The Epicure. It's a sensational culinary carousel that cavorts with the finest culinary maestros from the U.S., Mexico, Spain, and the Dominican Republic. This autumn, prepare your palate for a treat as Paradisus Punta Cana welcomes the illustrious Spanish Chef German Ortega, ready to indulge your senses with his Michelin-starred wizardry from November 2-4. And later in the month, it's a date with Mexican Chef Josephina Lopez at Paradisus Cancun from November 17-19. She'll take you on a flavorful journey through the diverse tapestry of Oaxacan cuisine.
Our journey wouldn't be complete without acknowledging the newest stars in the Paradisus constellation – Paradisus Salinas Lanzarote and Paradisus Gran Canaria. The former, a dreamy adults-only retreat, boasts 282 rooms and villas, a vast 19,000-square-foot swimming pool, and lush tropical gardens designed by the visionary César Manrique. It's an architectural marvel by Fernando Higueras on the UNESCO-acclaimed island of Lanzarote, surrounded by the beguiling beaches of Costa Teguise and charming, culture-rich villages.
This year, Paradisus wove a thread of connection between its resorts and local communities, redefining the very essence of all-inclusive vacations. Guests of The Reserve and Nikté suites now have the privilege of immersing themselves in Destination Inclusive experiences, which include enchanting off-property escapades. From guided visits to ancient cenotes with local shamans in Cancun to the timeless beauty of a canyon in Los Cabos, the stories are as diverse as they are unforgettable.
