Explore Paradisus by Meliá, a New Wellness Brand

At Paradisus by Meliá, wellness is deeply personal, giving guests the freedom to reconnect in ways that feel authentic, whether through relaxation, discovery, or cultural immersion.

Paradisus by Meliá, the Destination Inclusive® luxury resort brand by Meliá Hotels International, redefines the all-inclusive luxury model through immersive cultural connections, and a holistic wellness philosophy that lets every guest reconnect on their own terms. 

In 2026, the collection of tropical destination-style all-inclusive luxury resorts will continue to elevate guest experiences across Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and the Canary Islands, while celebrating its highly anticipated debut in Asia with Paradisus Bali opening December 2025.   

Guests can tailor their stay to support a lifestyle of balance and well-being, to disconnect from daily routines and reconnect with themselves while enjoying the local culture and the beauty of the surroundings. Experiences range from pure relaxation to vibrant entertainment, both within and beyond the resort, all centered around four main wellness pillars including: YHI Spa, offering traditional treatments including hydrotherapy, massages with locally sources products, and rituals led by expert therapists; Biohacking, including infrared therapy and natural optimization practices; Nutrition, sustainably minded menus and personalized nutrition plans; and Entertainment and Fitness, offering curated programming from yoga, Pilates, and sound healing to workshops, cultural destination excursions, and sophisticated events celebrating fashion and high gastronomy.  

Paradisus by Meliá invites guests to discover Destination Inclusive®, the brand’s signature program launched in 2023, featuring exclusive, locally curated experiences that deepen connections to nature and regional culture. These offerings bring each destination to life through design, cuisine, wellness, entertainment, and tailored on- and off-property activities, with select experiences available to guests staying in superior room categories. Within these superior room categories, the resorts feature distinct and luxe offerings for every type of traveler including The Reserve, an adults-only haven offering elevated service, exclusive privileges, and refined facilities; and Family Concierge, a luxury experience thoughtfully designed for families with personalized service and curated amenities for all ages.
