The healing benefits of incorporating spa services into your life are more relevant today than ever before. Even better is experiencing spa services at a relaxing all-inclusive spa resort.
The spa scene in Mexico and the Caribbean has been evolving over the years and they’re known for holistic therapies such as Thalassotherapy, Hydrotherapy, Mayan and Island-inspired treatments. Enhancing treatments with natural essential oils can help with stress relief, better sleep, mood and overall well-being. Calming colors. Calming scents. Calming touch.
Tranquility is possible….let’s explore these top all inclusive spa resorts.
Marriott Paraiso de la Bonita, Riviera Maya, Mexico
Marriott Resorts has taken over the former Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita and is making a number of renovations, including making this property officially adults-only. Currently scheduled to re-open in late 2024, between now and then everything will get upgraded and refreshed. Plans include keeping many of the touches that made the former Zoetry so unique and hip – along with its relaxing ‘zen’ vibe and intimate, boutique-resort feel. The fabulous 22,000 sq. ft. Spa remains (yay!) a haven for guests seeking rejuvenation, but Marriott is adding an even more VIP experience by designating a separate building within the property that will act as an exclusive enclave, with 10 suites featuring private plunge pools and beach access, an intimate exclusive pool, and two dedicated restaurants with a private chef.There are several dining venues, and to enhance your Spa experience they also offer organic and heart-healthy options using locally grown ingredients. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are also available, and when the new Marriott Paraiso de la Bonita reopens there will also be a new Sushi & Ceviche bar, sweet!
Editor’s Pick: Consider experiencing the Thalassotherapy treatments, which utilize mineral and nutrient rich seawater, marine mud and seaweed. These are believed to remove toxins and enhance well-being. The Thalassotherapy seawater pool with hydrojets is great for relaxation.
For those who love to explore, Puerto Morelos is a small and quaint fishing village that still caters to tourists with a plethora of cafes and shopping venues, but without much of the crowds and noise of Cancun.

And given its location on the Pacific side of the Baja Peninsula, the sunsets are simply unbeatable….be sure to watch out for the famous “green flash“!There is so much to share about this resort including the opening of The Towers at Pacifica. These two new towers offer 47 rooms and suites with private terraces and some have plunge pools. The third tower, reached by a Sky Bridge, has an oceanfront VIP Lounge.
With so many options for dining, it may be challenging to decide where to go so my first stop would be at the newly opened Peninsula Restaurant. An elegant option for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner serving local organic ingredients. Tip: Try their refreshing Santo Domingo Tiradito.
Calling all Foodies – be sure to spend time in the new Market at Quivana for items to go or dine there. The best part is that this is also included in your all-inclusive Pueblo Bonito stay.
