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.
