Simply put, all-inclusive resorts make vacationing easy-breezy.
You simply book your lodging and find the best flight deals, and then once you arrive at the resort, practically everything is included. You can have as much or as little food and drink as your heart desires without having to pull out your wallet at every meal (or even once).
In the past, all-inclusive resorts may have gotten a bad rap for sacrificing quality in order to provide the all-inclusive experience while still turning a profit. And, for years, there weren’t many options to use points for this type of vacation.
Now, all that’s changed. Many high-end properties around the world have made their entire luxury experience all-inclusive or at least offer all-inclusive packages as an option for guests. Most major points brands have made a play at all-inclusive properties, too, such as Marriott, Hilton and Hyatt.
Here’s a look at which all-inclusive properties TPG thinks are worth saving up for — and how you can redeem points to stay there.

Rates at Alila Ventana Big Sur start at around $2,000 or 45,000 World of Hyatt points per night for double occupancy.
Miraval Arizona Resort and Spa
Hyatt’s small lineup of Miraval wellness resorts has proved to be a popular option for redeeming World of Hyatt points. While the first (and possibly most popular) Miraval resort is the Miraval Arizona in Tucson, there’s also Miraval Berkshires Resort and Spa in Massachusetts and Miraval Austin Resort and Spa. Miraval The Red Sea is set to open in Saudi Arabia in the fall of 2025.
The Miraval brand provides a place to get away from the stresses of everyday life in abundant style. In addition to most food and beverages, you’ll get yoga, workout and meditation classes and more included in the price of a stay. Also, when booking a rate with points, you’ll receive a $175 credit per guest to spend on spa services, activities with a fee or private sessions.
And while the Miraval properties are adults-only, there are a few times a year when the resorts run a family weekend, allowing families to also experience a wellness retreat.
Rates at Miraval Arizona start at around $840 or 40,000 World of Hyatt points per night for single occupancy and $1,500 or 57,500 World of Hyatt points per night for double occupancy.
Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana and Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana
For some of the best all-inclusive resort experiences on the beach, look no further than Hyatt’s Ziva and Zilara brands. Often — but not always — co-located at the same spot, Ziva caters to families while Zilara is reserved for those 18 years old and up.
Two of our favorites are the Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana and Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic. Between the two resorts, there are 12 restaurants, complimentary nonmotorized watersports, beach volleyball, and a plethora of activities and entertainment all day and night. And while adults have free reign of restaurants and amenities at both resorts, kids are bound to just the Ziva side.
Kids and adults alike will love the Canapolis Water Park, where you can float along a lazy river or enjoy the thrill of five waterslides. Little ones can also adventure over to the splash pad with more toddler-friendly slides.
In addition to Cap Cana, there are plenty of other Ziva and Zilara properties throughout the Caribbean and Mexico. You’ll find family-friendly Ziva properties in Rose Hall, Jamaica; and Cancun, Riviera Maya, Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Meanwhile, adults-only Zilara properties can be found in Rose Hall, Riviera Maya and Cancun.
Rates at Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana start at around $640 or 42,000 World of Hyatt points per night for double occupancy and $860 or 84,000 World of Hyatt points per night for a family of four (kids 2 and under are free; additionally, you can instead pay for the two adults with points and the cash rate per child per night). Rates at Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana start at around $650 or 80,000 World of Hyatt points per night for double occupancy.
Al Maha, a Luxury Collection Desert Resort and Spa, Dubai
Get out of the hustle and bustle of Dubai and enjoy your own desert oasis at Al Maha. As one of the most desirable properties in Marriott’s entire portfolio, the hotel features 42 suites with their own plunge pools and private decks. You might also see gazelles and Arabian oryxes roaming around.
Guests will receive three full meals and two desert activities included each day. These sand-and-sun adventures include guided nature walks, camel treks, wildlife drives, falconry and more. Of course, there are also many add-on options and a full spa.
Rates at Al Maha start at around $719 or 98,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night for double occupancy.
Impression Moxche by Secrets
Located within the Moxche complex in Playa del Carmen, Impression Moxche by Secrets is one of the best adults-only all-inclusive resorts in the area. With only suites over 1,000 square feet being offered, it’s easy to spread out and unwind.
The resort offers plenty for individual travelers, couples and friends traveling together, such as snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, pickleball and beach volleyball. Or, if you’re just looking to relax, you can book a treatment at the spa or take a class at the fitness studio after a nice day of sunbathing by one of the tranquil pools.
Rates at Impression Moxche by Secrets start at around $1,000 or 42,000 World of Hyatt points per night for double occupancy.
