Holiday & Christmas

For travelers who want to skip the cold and celebrate the holidays with sun, sand, and zero stress, all-inclusive resorts offer an incredible alternative. From Beaches and Sandals in the Caribbean to Hyatt Inclusive Collection, Royalton, Iberostar, and Experiencias Xcaret in Mexico, the options are stunning.
Beaches Turks & Caicos is particularly popular for families, with Santa arriving by boat, kids' holiday programs, a massive New Year's Eve beach party, and gala dinners included in your stay. In Mexico, Hyatt Ziva and Hyatt Zilara properties host spectacular holiday galas, while Xcaret offers unique cultural celebrations blending Mexican tradition with resort luxury.
Royalton Riviera Cancun and Iberostar Selection resorts also go all-out for the holidays, with family-friendly NYE parties, special dining menus, and festive entertainment. The beauty of an all-inclusive holiday is that everything is handled for you -- the decorating, the cooking, the entertainment, the cleanup. You show up and enjoy.

Insider Tips
Book by September for the best room selection -- holiday weeks are peak season at every all-inclusive resort
Beaches Turks & Caicos is the top pick for families; Sandals for couples; Hyatt Ziva for families in Mexico; Hyatt Zilara for adults-only
Xcaret resorts offer a uniquely Mexican holiday celebration that stands apart from traditional Caribbean properties
The week between Christmas and New Year's is the most expensive -- consider Dec 20-27 or Dec 27-Jan 3 to save
Pack dressy outfits for the gala dinners -- most resorts require resort casual or better for holiday events
Bring small stockings and gifts if you want a Christmas morning tradition in your suite
