It’s time to trade in spreadsheets, endless emails, and Zoom calls with an ultra-relaxing vacation designed to help you recharge—and reconnect with your partner. If you’re looking for a just-for-two escape that helps you heal your burnout, nothing beats a luxury adult-only, all-inclusive resort. Here’s why:
You get to turn your “brain” off—and be pampered for a change.
If you’re always the one in charge at work or at home (or both!), an all-inclusive is the best way to experience a pampering role reversal. Everything is included in your experience, from dining, drinks, and entertainment to transfers to and from the airport. That means all you have to do is show up ready to relax and indulge! No need to make reservations ahead of time, or haggle with a taxi to get you to a restaurant. It’s all right there for you to enjoy, together.
You can make your all-inclusive experience even more effortless by upgrading to a “premier” or “club” level room—this often comes with your own personal butler. From securing you the best sunset view at the resort’s rooftop restaurant to running a bubble bath for you to sink into as soon as you get back to your room, your butler will make your every wish come true, with ease.
It’s an effortless way to revel in romance.
There are some lovely family-friendly resorts out there, but I steer my clients to adult-only properties because they often provide a more sophisticated, romantic vibe. Adult-only resorts often offer elegant, elevated design touches and amenities like infinity pools, whirlpools, and more gourmet dining options—and an overall more intimate atmosphere.
If you really want to lean into the romantic nature of your just-for-two escape, you can choose special accommodation options that give you more privacy, intimacy, and extravagance. Think overwater bungalows (yes, there are some in the Caribbean!), oceanfront villas, swim-out suites, or suites with private plunge pools or jacuzzis.
There are so many all-inclusives to choose from, you can find your perfect fit.
Mexico and much of the Caribbean coasts are lined with all-inclusive resort options—and yes, it can be overwhelming trying to figure out which one is worth checking into. The upside is that an abundance of options means you can “tailor” your escape by choosing a property that aligns with your interests.
For foodies, pick a resort known for exceptional dining and top-shelf drinks (some resorts are known to serve better food than others). If you’re looking forward to lazing away on a pristine beach all day, that also narrows down your options—because many properties aren’t known for their beaches. Some resorts are sophisticated and low-key, others are known for a party-all-night kind of atmosphere. So look beyond the pretty pictures online and let your passions and interests lead the way (of course, as an all-inclusive expert, I can help you with this!).

Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres
This very special property in Mexico ticks a lot of boxes—the beach is stunning, it boasts four different pools, the restaurants are top-notch, and you can opt for butler-level service to boot. Plus, it’s brand-new and pristine! I was lucky enough to tour the property not long after it opened in 2024, and was simply blown away.
