A destination doesn’t have to be a place…sometimes, it’s just one resort. These private compound megaresorts are supersized for fun on a grand scale. When it comes to good times for the whole gang, bigger is better-make it XXL!
MELIÁ CARIBE TROPICAL RESORT – PUNTA CANA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
All THIS resort is missing is its own zip code.
Ten pools–including exclusive ones just for The Level, the luxury resort within the resort–and two huge spas; a full casino; golf course; shopping center with international brands; children’s area with a zip line, climbing wall, super jumper, and workshops; 1,138 rooms; 13 meeting rooms; and gathering space for up to 1,000 people – all this resort is missing is its own zip code!
RIU HOTELS & RESORTS – PLAYA DEL CARMEN/RIVIERA MAYA, MEXICO
Six resorts + one gate = pleasing the crowd without ever feeling crowded.
When six entire resorts—including Riu Palace Mexico, Riu Palace Riviera Maya, Riu Playacar, and Riu Yucatan—take over part of prime Playa del Carmen beachfront, there’s no denying its mega–status. Shop all day or lay on the beach, then swap flip–flops for dancing shoes at Pacha nightclub. Eat your way through over 30 restaurants and buffets, wait half an hour, then swim in nearly a dozen pools. Big? You betcha.
MOON PALACE GOLF & SPA RESORT – CANCUN, MEXICO
No little prince or princess ever had it as good as yours will at this Palace.
When a resort is big enough to have their own dolphinarium to swim in, 27 holes of Jack Nicklaus Signature golf on premises, FlowRider surfing simulator, 15 restaurants, 39 spa treatment rooms, 11 different themed game rooms in “The Playroom” kids club, 140,000–square–foot convention center, and golf carts to get you from one point to another, there are no other words but “mega” and “wow” to describe it.
ATLANTIS, PARADISE ISLAND – NASSAU, BAHAMAS
Over-the-top begins with “under the sea” at a resort that lives up to its name.
People don’t just travel to Paradise Island in the Bahamas—they go to Atlantis! Over–the–top begins with “under the sea” with Aquaventure, a 141–acre water park with 18 thrilling slides; ruins and coral to snorkel; swimmable 7 million–gallon Dolphin Cay; and 14 lagoons filled with over 50,000 creatures representing over 250 marine species, creating one of the world’s largest open–air marine habitats. The experience on land is no less impressive, with 21 restaurants—including celebrity chef–helmed ones—and 19 bars and lounges, giant casino, and six Atlantis resorts to rest your head in.
HILTON HAWAIIAN VILLAGE WAIKIKI BEACH RESORT – WAIKIKI, HAWAII
With a 10,000-square-foot Super Pool, the ocean’s got a run for its money.
As the only resort destination on Waikiki, this property sets the bar high for anyone seeking to challenge that claim. A 10,000–square–foot Super Pool and multi–layered Paradise Pool are only two of five, and 20 restaurants and bars keep you in full view of 22 long acres of oceanfront, gorgeous gardens, and a private lagoon. Over 90 boutiques and shops beg to be browsed, and if you over–shopped? No worries—it has its own post office.
