1. Premier Le Reve – Hurghada, Egypt

A good sign you’ve bagged yourself a boujie spot is when your hotel has its own sunglasses cleaning service… this is no joke. You’ll find this hotel right on the edge of a private golden beach on Egypt’s glamorous Red Sea Coast and, with constantly clean specs, you’ll see why we love it. The Premier Le Reve‘s sitting pretty with a five-star rating, huge gardens and secluded cabanas on the sand. There’s an impressive total of seven restaurants in the mix, serving Italian, Chinese and sushi, to name a few. You’ve also got a chic spa, fancy indoor pool area – complete with domed glass ceiling – and a quartet of outdoor pools. The main swim spot gets uninterrupted views across the Red Sea, while the others are dotted around the grounds. Every night there’s always some sort of show going on, from soul singers to belly dancers. Plus, the Long Bar’s got some games available for your own fun.

2. Margaritaville Riviera Maya by Karisma Adults Only – Puerto Morelos, Mexico

This pick is a Mexican fiesta of a place and tropical tribute to the musical legend, Jimmy Buffet – Alexa, play Margaritaville… Named after the song, Margaritaville Riviera Maya by Karisma Adults Only is all chic white walls and pops of bright primary colours that are classic along the Caribbean Coast. It’s just a 30-minute drive from Cancun, the beach is right there, and you’ve got three pools to perch yourself by. Two have got swim-up bars, where you can sit in the water or pick a swing seat, and there’s still another pool bar as well as, of course, a margarita bar to set the scene. The restaurant and bar tally totals up at nine hotspots – the grill even brews its own LandShark lager right on site. Get involved with a game of volleyball, football or work out at the gym. Then, there’s regular live music in the evenings from local bands and DJs, which you can take in from one of the grill’s two terraces overlooking the sea.

3. Be Live Collection Marrakech Adults Only – Marrakech, Morocco

Be Live Collection Marrakech Adults Only’s peaceful setting will leave you wondering how this hotel can be just 20 minutes’ drive from the heart of Marrakech. That’s the beauty. You can even hop on the free shuttle bus into the city if you want to head out and explore the bustling souks and market life this city’s known for. The Atlas Mountains are also just a daytrip away. But you can always return back to your own little oasis every eve. You might not even want to leave the grounds though, with two pools, a spa with steam baths, saunas and fancy hydrotherapy treatments on offer. The whole style of this place reflects a real Moroccan feel – it’s all earthy tones, palm trees and ornate patterns. If you seriously want to treat yourself, go for a swim-up room… you get a set of loungers and your own private strip of water to cool off facing the gardens. For food, try traditional dishes at the Moroccan à la carte, or tuck into international faves at the buffet spot.

4. Marmaris Bay Resort – Marmaris, Turkey

Marmaris Bay Resort is tucked away into the trees along its own private patch of coastline, so you’ve literally got 360 degrees of natural scenery all to yourself. The sea is on one side, forest on the other and there’s a little yacht marina down the road. With all the action a 20-minute taxi ride away in Marmaris, it’s guaranteed peace and quiet. You’ve got two swimming pools that come with their own bar set-up and stylish loungers, surrounded by shady olive trees – plus sea views, of course. Food-wise, the rooftop restaurant makes the most of this location, but there’s other Turkish, Lebanese and seafood places to pick from, too. Certain spa facilities are also included, like the sauna, hammam and hot tub, or you could opt in for a massage – the cabana-style treatment rooms are worth it alone. It’s a real pinch-me kind of place, so if you need an excuse to go, take this as your sign…

5. Riu Montego Bay – Montego Bay, Jamaica

This is Jamaica at its finest. Riu Montego Bay has a huge line-up of five pools, complete with in-water loungers, parasols and don’t worry, one has that swim-up bar you’re after, too. You can catch a tan without even leaving the pool, lay back, order your go-to cocktail and chill out to the occasional reggae band set for the ultimate Caribbean feel. The palm trees, the private stretch of beach, the Renova Spa –it’s got all the bucket-list clichés of an All Inclusive escape. As it’s adults only, you can look forward to evening pool parties once a week with DJs and performances, as well as the hotel’s own Pacha nightclub. A couple of things to know about Riu hotels… they offer daily exercise classes, rooms come with locally branded spirits on tap, and they LOVE their food. Dinner is served on the sand at one of the restaurants here, or you can try the classic Jerk Grill, Italian place, steakhouse and others.

6. Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar – Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar is a properly high-class, luxurious spot – it’s been voted one of Tripadvisor’s top All Inclusive resorts. They don’t do rooms here, they do suites… that says it all. They all come with a balcony or terrace and the all-important bathrobe and slippers, or you can upgrade to a swim-up version. Huge gardens wrap around the place and it’s right on a white-sand beach, where you can find flowy cabanas and shady sunloungers. Gazebos are also set up here for massages or you can hop over to the Bahia Spa. Then, the lake-style pool lines up right by the sand, with its own swim-up bar, whirlpools and water pilates sessions. Other activities available include kayaking, snorkelling and diving – this is the Dominican Republic after all. The hotel has its own tennis courts, volleyball, paddle-boarding and dance lessons on offer, too. Plus, a huge bonus, you get a six-for-one deal here – there might be three à la carte restaurants on site, but you get access to the rest at the other five Bahia Principe hotels in the resort with your stay. Fill your bellies and find yourself dancing away at the live music events.

7. Globales Santa Lucia – Palma Nova, Majorca

Globales Santa Lucia isn’t just on one sandy beach, it’s straddled between two, and only five minutes’ walk to Palma Nova. As a result, rooms come with sea views as standard here. And, if you’re travelling solo – an All Inclusive stay is the ultimate bit of me-time – they even offer single rooms, as well as the classic superior and twin set-ups. With a superior upgrade though, you’ll also get access to the rooftop terrace and sundeck with the best views over Son Matias beach. The main pool is right next to the sand and comes with a pool bar with all your classic cocktails on tap. Only a glass screen separates you and the beach, so the scenes are completely uninterrupted. There’s also an indoor pool with a whirlpool bath open from November to April, so you can pick to swim there if you travel out of season when things tend to be a bit cooler – and cheaper. The restaurant’s a buffet and there are sometimes themed nights to shake it up a bit. The Lounge Bar also has regular evening entertainment, featuring quiz nights, bingo, comedy acts, and cabaret shows.

8. Cooks Club Corfu – Gouvia, Corfu

Cooks Club Corfu nails the five-star feel. The natural tones, use of wood, hanging lantern lights and palm trees bring a touch of Bali to this Greek Island. Double rooms come with a big balcony, or you can pick to have views of the pool and bay, or a terrace with swim-up access. A large, freshwater pool sits sunken into the sun terrace and is surrounded by sunloungers and stylish, striped umbrellas – there’s a bar and live DJ that plays here, too. If you prefer something quieter, there’s a chill-out pool away from the main action just for you. The gym has views of the pool, where you can unwind with a yoga or pilates class, there are tennis courts to practise your serve, and you can head to the spa for a treatment. To eat, the Cantina serves big American-style breakfasts and then the menu’s always changing for lunch and dinner. Campiello offers traditional Corfiot food with a twist and the Smoke Grill does an epic BBQ – All Inclusive guests can dine at both of these places once per stay. If you fancy a little explore, you’re walking distance from the local shops, bars and restaurants or just a 10-minute drive to Corfu Town, too.

9. Leonardo Plaza Cypria Maris Beach Hotel and Spa- Paphos, Cyprus

Paphos in Cyprus is the birthplace of Aphrodite, so get ready to fall in love with Leonardo Plaza Cypria Maris Beach Hotel and Spa. You can stroll into the city centre within half an hour but there are still restaurants and bars a couple of minutes’ away from the hotel. You’ll find a sandy beach right outside and a massive, curvy pool, complete with waterfalls, a whirlpool bath and sea views. Yep, there’s a swim-up bar and even if you visit in winter, they open a heated indoor pool as well. The in-water loungers are a real luxury and days spent chilling here, followed by sunset on the terrace with a pre-dinner drink is how holidays are done right. When you pick a deluxe room here, you also get access to the Executive Lounge – how fancy! They’ve got snacks, premium drinks and the lure of exclusivity here. Eat at six different restaurants, serving everything from Greek to Italian, Middle Eastern and Asian, and have a boogie at Erato Club Bar after. They’ve got a dance floor there, comfy seating and a decked terrace to enjoy some live music.

10. Princess Inspire Tenerife – Costa Adeje, Tenerife

Princess Inspire Tenerife got the memo for a boujie summer white party. A long, rectangular pool is decorated with chic white loungers, stripey umbrellas and grand pillars – think a modern-day, Greek Parthenon, turn five-star hotel. It’s sat in the popular resort of Costa Adeje on Tenerife’s south-west coast and there are two beaches less than a five-minute walk away. The bigger Playa del Duque isn’t much further either and is backed by seafood restaurants if you fancy eating out. You walk down from the columned reception area to the main pool first, which is heated and has a bar. But there are two smaller pools on a different level too, and a pair of sunbathing terraces with Balinese beds and waiter service – you can’t be getting your own drinks! Health is wealth, so Bar 1999 serves smoothies, but then also life is about balance, so Lyon Club brings the cocktails and dancing after dark. If you fancy Christmas or New Year’s Day here, they put on gala dinners with a formal dress code so you can feel a bit fancy. Of course, there’s also a spa, gym and beauty centre, so it’s safe to say, you’re sorted.
