Paradisus by Meliá, the all-inclusive luxury hotel brand of Meliá Hotels International, has introduced a series of new experiences designed to connect guests with local culture called Destination Inclusive®. This new program encompasses the entire resort – from design and amenities to dining, leisure and activity opportunities for guests both on and off property.
Guests will be more connected than ever to the local culture of the destination in which the hotel is located, transforming the way travelers experience all-inclusive hotels. As part of this program, beginning April 1, 2023, guests will have access to Destination Inclusive® experiences: unique activities outside of Paradisus’ facilities.
Destination-Inclusive® experiences will only be available to guests in the new Nikté and The Reserve suite categories. Included in the daily rate of these categories, each Destination Inclusive® experience is carefully selected by local experts to connect guests with the nature and beauty that surrounds each hotel.
At Paradisus’ Riviera Maya properties, which include Paradisus Cancun, Paradisus La Perla and Paradisus Playa del Carmen, guests will visit a local cenote guided by a Mexican shaman to enjoy a private meditation and yoga class designed to cleanse energies and connect guests with the natural environment. At Paradisus Los Cabos, guests will explore the unique beauty of an ancient canyon located near the hotel. During the visit, they will participate in a spiritual yoga and sound healing practice led by a local instructor. Finally, at Paradisus Palma Real in Punta Cana, guests will board a private catamaran that will transport them to a quiet, secluded beach where they will participate in a seaside class to connect with nature and the magic of the destination. These unique experiences will change throughout the year with the assessment of local curators.
Nikté, recently launched at all resorts, offers an enhanced experience for guests who want a special touch during their stay. Designed to cater to guests seeking luxury and comfort, Nikté at Paradisus by Meliá provides a superior suite experience through a series of exclusive services and benefits including premium room categories, turndown service, premium mini-bar, a personal destination concierge, priority dining reservations and an included dinner at the premium Sal Steak Cave restaurant when applicable, as well as a hydrothermal circuit at the resort’s YHI Spa. Travelers seeking a more intimate stay and staying at any Paradisus by Meliá resort can experience The Reserve: an adults-only oasis. The Reserve at Paradisus by Meliá offers guests access to the resort’s adults-only spaces, including private beach areas, pools, lounges and adults-only activities.
“At Paradisus by Meliá, the destination plays a key role in creating a unique travel experience,” said Susanna Mander, Global Brand Marketing Director for Paradisus by Meliá. “We are thrilled to take our guests to discover the infinite pleasures of a vacation like they have never experienced before. These new offers give them the opportunity to find secret corners, enjoy authentic cuisine, meet local artists and explore destinations, providing them with a deeper understanding of their culture.”
