One of four pools at Constance Belle Mare Plage
Constance Belle Mare Plage
Mauritius
Silvery sands, translucent waters, Indian Ocean breezes. So far, so Mauritius. Constance Belle Mare Plage has all of the above and plenty more besides. The five-star hotel is in Belle Mare resort, which extends along the island’s east coast, with pristine beach in both directions and a sea that invites you to don a snorkel. The 278 rooms – from the entry-level Prestige to the Presidential Villa – are serene and secluded, and if yours doesn’t have its own pool, there are four main swimming pools, as well as complimentary water sports, a Padi dive centre, two exclusive golf courses and a spa offering Sisley massages and facials. Appetites are keenly welcomed across the ten restaurants and bars, all of them very different – some serve up à la carte and wine flights, others barbecue fare and chilled beers. The smiling staff work tirelessly to ensure you’ll ‘arrive as a guest and leave as a friend’.

Deluxe garden room at Meliá Punta Cana Beach
Meliá Punta Cana Beach
Dominican Republic
Punta Cana, on the eastern side of the Dominican Republic, has one of the longest white sand coastlines in the Caribbean. But what if you could combine being in this palm-studded paradise with a wellness reboot – one where you can as easily sip cocktails in shady hammocks as you can nurture body and soul? At Meliá Punta Cana Beach, that wish is granted. The first thing to notice at this all-inclusive on Playa Bávaro is the quietude – it’s adult-only, so no splashy-shouty games of water polo. Instead, the focus is on relaxation, reconnection and recalibration. The space is divided into five pillars – social, silent, sensory, culinary and personal – with guests dipping in and out as they please, whether in the light and airy rooms, spa, swimming pools, beach, restaurants or bars. Looking for more? Sign up for daily yoga and meditation – as you’re practicing your sun salutation in the fragrant botanical garden, home will seem a very long way away.

The architecture of Meliá Bilbao pays tribute to sculptor Eduardo Chillida
Meliá Bilbao
Spain
Minutes from Frank Gehry’s iconic Guggenheim Museum and Euskalduna Palace, Meliá Bilbao is perfectly placed for visitors to immerse themselves in Basque culture. Not to be outdone by the city’s energy, the hotel is packed with character, from its Ricardo Legorreta-designed terracotta façade (a tribute to Spanish sculptor Eduardo Chillida) to its geometric furniture and abstract artworks. The 211 rooms are monochrome and sleek, with spacious marble-clad bathrooms and views across the Nervión river to the green hills beyond. Take the riverwalk to the Old Town, with its Gothic-style cathedral and lively pintxos bars, before returning to unwind in the hotel’s heated outdoor swimming pool or one of the saunas on the sixth floor. Enjoy drinks in the stylish Bribone bar or the lobby lounge followed by dinner in Sumendi, where dishes are cooked over flames for a distinctive fire-kissed taste. Bring the fiesta!

Domes Aulus Chania, a Curio Collection by Hilton hotel
Crete, Greece
You want to step off the plane and sink into the sunshine, right? Domes Aulus Chania is a short drive from Crete’s main airport, so you’ll be on a lounger, ordering a post-journey glass of bubbles in no time. The new all-inclusive, adult-only resort perches on the island’s north coast, its elevated position rewarding guests with an endless panorama of Aegean Sea-meets-ombré sky. Book into the Soma Spa for restorative treatments, sound healing and Pilates. The active might also wish to swim out from the secluded beach to work on their tans on the floating sea deck. The 200 rooms are cool and calm (earthy tones, soft textures, floor-to-ceiling windows), while the restaurants embrace indoor-outdoor living, whether it’s Greek meze lunches by the pool, inventive Asian cuisine at Yellow Sea or an Italian feast beneath the stars at Tesoro Mio.

Beachfront swim-up suites at TRS Coral Hotel (also opening image)
TRS Coral Hotel
Costa Mujeres, Mexico
The TRS Coral Hotel sizzles with Mexican-Caribbean spirit. This adult-only, all-inclusive hideaway is just north of Cancun on the Costa Mujeres, a stretch of pristine coastline sandwiched between a jungly wildlife reserve and the neon-turquoise sea. The beachfront hotel, which wraps around a huge main pool, has 496 rooms offering everything from private terraces with swings to personalised butler service. But venture out, as there’s much to do here. The Zentropia Palladium Spa & Wellness centre is one of the best in the region, with a hydrotherapy circuit, sauna, steam and salt rooms, beauty salon, treatment rooms and more – or brush up your backhand at the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre. Classes and workshops at the hotel cover everything from HIIT and aqua spin to salsa-making and mixology. When hunger strikes, the restaurants, cafés and bars cater to all tastes (literally, there are more than 30) from sizzling steakhouses and bold Mexican menus to juice bars and gelatarias.

Grecotel Creta Palace sits on a Blue Flag beach
Grecotel Creta Palace
Crete, Greece
When it comes to idyllic island retreats, Grecotel Creta Palace is a lesson in golden-hour glamour. The award-winning resort looks the part, with guests checking in to whitewashed rooms, bungalows, villas and suites dotted among the bougainvillea and herb-scented grounds. Follow the araucaria tree-lined paths to the freshwater swimming pool, the Blue Flag beach and the Elixir Beauty Spa (one of the largest on the island), where the gazebo is a popular spot for open-air massages and the heated pool has huge glass doors framing the sea. The laidback restaurants and roof bars offer a huge choice, with an emphasis on fresh and seasonal – there’s even a traditional coffee house, while the hotel’s Agreco Farm Taverna serves authenticity on a plate. Travelling with little ones? The kids’ club, waterslides and adventure activities make this one Greek odyssey that the whole family will enjoy.
