I always get asked about the best affordable all-inclusive resorts and it’s difficult to answer, but there are options!!!
My first thoughts are Reethi Beach Resort in the Maldives, Elix, Mar-Bella, or BlueBay Villas Doradas in the Dominican Republic. but then I remember that ‘affordable’ is so objective. What I find relatively affordable might be really cheap or really expensive to you.
While budget-friendly all-inclusive resorts can be found, and I’ve found you some great ones, they are still expensive by a lot of people’s standards.
And when you have been around all-inclusive resorts as long as I have you will know all-inclusive tends to mean different things at different hotels. Hotels are also always changing their offerings.
My advice to you is to decide what part of all-inclusive is the most important to you. Is it the food, is it drinks, do you want liquor included and what are trips and activities? When you are clearer it is easier to discern which are the best economical all-inclusive resorts for you.
So grab a drink, get comfy, and let me walk you through some of my favorite cheap luxury all-inclusive resorts.
15 Best Affordable All-Inclusive Resorts
Reethi Beach Resort – Maldives
If you are after paradise at a slightly more affordable price then Reethi Beach Resort is for you. Set on its own island surrounded by a lagoon and a perfect beach. Life doesn’t get much better.
Due to the very nature of Maldives accommodation, you really have to go all-inclusive. Most of the resorts are remote and on their own islands so options to eat outside the resort are pretty non-existent.
Here all inclusive means all inclusive. All food, all drinks including spirits, and excursions and activities. There are some things not included but they tend to be things outside of what you would want every day.
This resort is beautiful and perfect for a Maldives honeymoon. It has everything you could wish for including a wellness and fitness center, a massage parlor, and 5 restaurants. They also offer a wide range of water and sporting activities.
This is one of the best and most affordable all-inclusive beach vacations in the area. To keep the cost I would perhaps choose the most affordable accommodation option.
