The all-inclusive resort sector in the Caribbean and Latin America has seen major growth in recent years, and 2026 is set to be a blockbuster year. As luxury brands like JW Marriott debut new properties and established names like Moon Palace and Royalton expand their portfolios, the trend for high-end, all-inclusive travel is accelerating. From the jungles of Costa Rica to the beaches of Turks and Caicos, here are the new all-inclusive resorts opening in 2026 that you need to know about.

It will feature 315 guest rooms, 11 dining options, and 17 swimming pools, plus a 16,000 square spa, a fitness center, and ample meeting space.

The new area will also debut new food and beverage offerings, such as Butch’s Island Chophouse, BRU coffee bar, and Pinta Food Hall, a brand-new 32-seat cinema, and an infinity pool.
