NAMALE RESORT & SPA- SAVUSAVU, FIJI
In the luxury vacation world, most people hear “all-inclusive” and steer clear. They’re not for everyone and it has unfortunately acquired somewhat of a bad stereotype- crowded commercial resorts, packed swimming pools, and mediocre food. I am here to tell you it’s not always the case and that there are exceptions to this “rule”. I discovered an all-inclusive gem! Namale Resort & Spa is set amidst over 500 acres of lush tropical land on Fiji’s Northern Island of Vanua Levu in Savusavu. This adult-only boutique hotel redefines the meaning of all-inclusive in a luxurious intimate setting. All-inclusives do have its advantages- it’s a package deal and you know what you’re getting yourself into beforehand cost-wise, giving you less to think about while you’re on vacation (who wants to worry about money in paradise!) Namale allows you to customize your vacation with different packages and activities with all food and drink included, still giving you the option to add special activities on after you get there. Namale is a beautiful 5-star property offering 19 luxury villas …
HARBOR ISLAND, BAHAMAS
In December I spent a few nights on the quaint and charming Coral Sands resort in Harbour Island, Bahamas. I flew into North Eleuthera from Miami, which was an easy 55-minute flight (there are direct flights into North Eleuthera from Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Nassau). Harbour Island is located off the Northeast Coast of Eleuthera Island and is just a short boat ride from the airport. I had only been to Nassau before so was excited to experience a different part of the Bahamas this time around. Coral Sands is a boutique hotel situated on their famous pink sand beach. It’s small and privately owned, with only 38 rooms. There is charm that comes with staying at a smaller boutique hotel. The vibe was intimate–the main lobby felt as though you were in a friend’s cozy living room. My room was in the newly-designed and renovated main building above the lobby. It had double balconies and a comfortable living room area. It was beach chic and airy with lots of natural light–perfect for a romantic …
VICEROY, RIVIERA MAYA
A 45 minute drive from Cancun, at the end of a few hidden roads, lies the Viceroy Riviera Maya—a beautiful lush sanctuary in paradise. The resort has an open-air lobby and their beautiful villas are surrounded by the lush jungle of the Riviera Maya. Just a moments walk away from the beach, The Viceroy property gives you the best of both worlds. The resort is set on the beautiful sand beaches of Playa Del Carmen. The poolside beach bar is where I spent most of my day soaking up the sun with a pina colada in hand. The resort is located just a quick 10-15 minute drive from the heart of Playa Del Carmen, but I felt no need to leave the property throughout my stay. The food at the Viceroy was excellent. Every morning I enjoyed fresh fruit juices and an authentic Mexican breakfast—the huevos rancheros, chilaquiles, and carne asada were amazing. For dinner I indulged in mojacuete, tacos and fresh guacamole. I kept lunch light with appetizers like seafood ceviche, shrimp quesadillas and …
