We create freedom

Lagoon is the world leader in the construction of cruising catamaran sailboats. Lagoon has built more than 6,000 catamarans since 1984 and has never stopped developing its offer with boats ranging from 40 to 78 feet in length. Lagoon’s intent is to offer comfortable and self-sufficient catamarans, produced in a sustainable way, equipped with the latest technologies, all for the satisfaction of today’s sailors.

Generosity and pleasure are our raison d’être. Our passion for open spaces and comfort on board is part of our genetic makeup.

Designed to offer a unique lifestyle on the water, Lagoon catamarans are the result of dreams of voyaging and a desire for freedom.

Lagoon is committed to sailing pleasure through simple and safe sail trimming. We put our know-how to work in the service of user-friendliness.

In 1987, Lagoon invented a new vision of comfort at sea, and thus the Lagoon 55 was born. This year, Lagoon has revisited this iconic model. With more than 30 years between them, these two models are a perfect reflection of their time.

An impeccable combination of innovation and seafaring spirit with attention to detail and creativity. A living space with multiple possibilities. An uncompromising opening to the sea. A model conceived by passionate designers for lovers of the sea in search of freedom.

Presentation

The LAGOON 570 is replacing the 55/57 in the new range, on the basis of the same tried and true waterlines. There has been extensive restyling of the deck layout, net and interior arrangement. The most visible part of this restructuring is certainly the new design of the roof that imposes a functional vision of this architectural element regardless of any pseudo-racing aesthetic compromise. The advantages are rational: maximum space, thermal comfort and, in the absence of fore slope, a running rigging at the mast foot with perfect ergonomic qualities. From the subjective standpoint: the avant-garde treatment of this volume may not be to everyone’s taste. The great majority of 570, delivered or on order, are owners’s boats destined to sail around the world.

The construction process

The heir to “Jeanneau Techniques Avancées”, the shipyard in Nantes where Bruno Belmont developed in particular GROUPE PIERRE Ier for Florence Arthaud and all the FLEURY MICHON craft for Philippe Poupon as well as formula 40s and other trimarans for “Water World”, the new production unit for large LAGOONs was obliged to set up a top-quality construction process. The general principle i...

Lagoon 60 Launch and Some History

We spent some time recently at the Lagoon shipyard in Bordeaux, where they build their bigger catamarans (over 50 feet). It was great to hear some of the history behind the yard and meet some of the team behind this successful multihull manufacturer.

Here are some snippets from the day. With thanks to Thomas Gailly, LAGOON Brand Director, Clément Himily, CEO and Quentin Beraut, Lagoon Product Manager.

Celebrating 40 Years

2024 is going to be a big year for  Lagoon Catamarans . This year they celebrate their fortieth anniversary and they’ve decided not to celebrate once but to celebrate all year long.

Two weeks ago in Miami, at the boat show they had a big party, had a great time and are now holding another one here in Bordeaux at their HQ. Lagoon is the  biggest catamaran producer  in the world. For the first time, they are presenting the full range from 40 to 78 feet with the entire team. It’s a big challenge. They have been organising different boats at boat shows for 40 years, but doing it during the week in the shipyard with hundreds of clients visiting: that’s something different. They have people coming from all around the world Mexico, Norway, Thailand, Sweden, France, everywhere.

Lagoon Cares

One of the drivers for the company is a desire for responsible growth under the banner “ Lagoon Cares “. Lagoon is on a mission to prove it cares about the environment, and it cares about the ways its boats are built and used.

In addition to a focus on using ever more sustainable materials, they have entered into a long-term partnership with  Coral Guardian , a French NGO that aims to protect and restore coral reefs globally through the empowerment of local communities. They replant corals everywhere in the world. Lagoon is financing this NGO together with many of its clients.

Lagoon has more than 400 clients coming to see the new 60 and the whole range in Bordeaux. Some of them are Lagoon owners, some of them have their boat in build and some of them have a project of buying a boat. They want to have them talk together and get the alchemy working.

Boris Diaw, the NBA Connection

One of their SEVENTY 7 customers is  Boris Diaw  who won an NBA championship with the San Antonio Spurs in 2014. Boris is a great ambassador because he’s a real Lagoon user with his SEVENTY 7. Right now the boat is in Auckland NZ. He’s flying there in one or two weeks joining the boat to do the crossing to Tahiti.

Production & History

Clément Himily, CEO of Lagoon, then shared some fascinating history behind Lagoon and the shipyard.

“We have three shipyards, all in France. Two of them are in Vendee which are specialised in the production of the Lagoon 40 to 46.

Here in Bordeaux, we are focused on the production of Lagoon Catamrans above 50 feet, from the 51 to the Lagoon 78.”

“This shipyard is unique in the world for the production of catamarans of this size.”

A Strong Legacy

“There is more than  150 years of naval history  here”.

“The shipyard specialised in the construction of Cruisers and tankers, but this ceased in 1985.” “Two years after, two guys, Dieter Gust and Olivier Lafourcade, founded CNB which was initially specialised in the production of large aluminium monohulls. This led to the creation of 46 unique one-off yachts building the reputation of the site including the Mari-Cha II in 1989 (Philip Briand custom), and the 117’ Hamilton II.”

“These boats were built here in Bordeaux with many of the team that is here today. That helped build the expertise of this site in the design and manufacture of large sailing yachts.”

JTA “In the meantime, in Vendee, there was a department called JTA ( Jeanneau Technologies Avancees) a legendary workshop for the development of high-tech sailing yachts. Lagoon Catamarans were quickly recognised for their single-hull and multihull off-shore racing boats.”

“JTA was specialised in racing boats, and multihulls, building very famous ones with VPLP at the design helm. Because this team was becoming very famous in the production of multihulls, Lagoon became involved in the Waterworld movie. Lagoon built the boat for the movie production team. The guy behind the wheel in the movie is not Kevin Costner!”

The First Lagoon 55

“Following our Hollywood and Hawaii episode, a lady came to us one day, a lady from Bordeaux. She wanted a one-off yacht, but not a racing boat, a cruising Multihull. She wanted to do some chartering on a big catamaran for cruising- 55 feet and  in 1984 55 feet was a big catamaran .”

“We looked for a good architect, so naturally asked VPLP. Maybe they could also design a Cruising boat? This was how Lagoon built its first cruising Catamaran. The boat was a success, in charter as well and the lady decided to build another one.”

Napkin Contract “So, we thought, maybe we can develop a brand, we can start a nice story? But we needed a name. One name came out on top of the others, and it was the name that the lady gave to her first boat: “Lagoon”. We came to an agreement on the corner of the table in a restaurant, a kind of small contract on a napkin to provide some royalties if we sell a few more of them.”

“Luckily, we make a limit on that. We said that after 10 years we stop. So, that was the history!”

“Today, years later, Lagoon is a world leader with dealers everywhere and seven thousand Lagoon yachts sailing worldwide. And that’s starting from our very passionate team.”

Lagoon Sailing Catamarans

Inovations and performance.

A Leader in Comfort in Choice

About lagoon catamarans.

Originally an extension of Jeanneau, Lagoon began in 1984 with the launch of a range of offshore cruising catamarans . Beneteau Group, the world leader in leisure boat construction, took over in 1996 and their extensive expertise was tapped to further improve build quality and performance through the use of high-tech composites . Over the years, advanced processes and innovation continued and Lagoon established a brand name synonymous with spacious and comfortable sailing catamarans .

Innovations continued with the release of the popular Lagoon 440 – the world’s first sailing catamaran under 45 feet to feature a flybridge . Other innovations included the first cruising catamaran equipped with a hybrid diesel/electric propulsion system, and the moving of the mast step further aft on the Lagoon 52, significantly changing navigation with a self-tacking foresail.

Having now produced nearly 5,000 vessels , the Lagoon catamaran brand continues growth with a current offering of 12 different models of sailing catamaran , ranging from 40- to 70-feet in length. Over 35 years of innovation have solidified Lagoon as the world leader in cruising catamarans, with the widest selection on the market today.

An other perspective of yachting

Why choose lagoon catamaran.

A Unique Merging of Expertise

With both Jeanneau and Beneteau having a hand in its creation, some of the greatest minds, with the longest-running expertise in shipbuilding , came together in the production of Lagoon catamarans. Construction Navale Bordeaux , an affiliate of Beneteau Group based in France, is a known world leader in the yacht construction sector and is the shipyard responsible for the production of Lagoon boats. 

A Quality Build by the Best in the Business

Lagoon’s expertise uses time-tested production methods , rigorous attention to detail and high-quality materials , including weight-saving composites and vacuum injected deck and hull structures, to produce vessels of certified long-lasting durability . 

Committed to Environmental Responsibility

Even before the ground-breaking release of the Lagoon 420 Hybrid , equipped with 2 electric engines, Lagoon yacht leadership was dedicated to the continual development of renewable energy . The use of onboard solar panels is another example of their long-standing efforts. Inside, furniture panels are constructed of reconstituted wood , an eco-responsible alternative that offers a range of long lasting and attractive finishes.

Tour The Factories Of France’s Top 3 Catamaran Builders

Tour the factories of france’s top 3 catamaran builders, bali | fountaine pajot | lagoon.

April 22nd – April 28th, 2017

Catamaran Guru Offers Buyers An Exclusive Opportunity To Tour The Factories Of France’s Top 3 Catamaran Builders! Join Us As We Guide You On A Tour Of These 3 Famed Catamaran Factories And Share With You The Building Processes And Unique Features Of Each Brand. Take Advantage Of This Exclusive Opportunity To Learn Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Catamarans & Boat Ownership, Right At The Source!

Get Educated By The Experts At The Source!

Our readers have loudly voiced a desire to come along with us as we explore the catamaran factories in France. In response, we have teamed up with Dream Yacht and now offer this unique opportunity for guided factory tours of the famed catamaran builders in La Rochelle, France.

The French builders, Bali, Fountaine Pajot and Lagoon have turned out a lot of exciting and innovative new catamarans in the last few years. As catamaran specialists, we find ourselves collaborating daily with our clients about what to look out for and how to choose the right catamaran.

We wanted to share with you each brand’s unique features, building processes and give you the opportunity to meet the designers & builders. This is your opportunity to engage with us and the builders and learn everything you ever wanted to know about catamarans and yacht ownership.

Enjoy Paris, French Cuisine & A Glass Of Bordeaux!

It’s not all going to be hard work and learning! Meeting in Paris, the journey starts off with some shopping & sightseeing (and a few “selfies” at some of the most iconic landmarks in Paris). We then travel into the countryside by luxury bus down to the coast and end up in the city of La Rochelle, a gourgeous old walled coastal city situated in the southwest part of France.

We will meet in Paris on October 30th, 2016, where we will stay in a charming and elegant 4-star hotel located near the Arc de Triomphe and Place de l’Etoile in the chic 16th arrondissement. The hotel is a couple of minutes walk from the world famous Avenue des Champs-Elysées.

In La Rochelle we will stay in an exquisite hotel, located in the heart of the old town, between the cathedral and the 19th-century market hall, only an 8-minute stroll from the Vieux Port. We will dine as a group mostly but you are also free to explore on your own. We will send you suggestions for some fabulous restaurants in La Rochelle.

Finally, we are putting a wine tour together in the medieval wine village of Saint Emilion, a Unesco World Heritage Site. It will be a great and enjoyable adventure and with three factory tours and seminars in between, it will be very busy but informative and will be well worth your time!

Included In The “Tour de France”

**With the purchase of a boat within 18 months of the tour, the cost of this tour will be refunded in full

“When the Excess 14 first came out, it seemed almost perfect. The main advantages of this catamaran are its perfect size for two people, and its ease of sailing. With the boom being low, it’s easy to handle.”

Tony & Heather - EXCESS 14

“We loved the family atmosphere. Excess is like one great big family to us, and we're really glad to be part of it! They're always there to listen to us and advise us.”

Jeniffer and Cédric - EXCESS 14

“I love both the profile and the “hybrid” concept, halfway between a traditional monohull and a very cruisey catamaran such as a Lagoon. It's comfortable and easy to sail, with no more water on deck... And ladies prefer a boat that doesn’t heel!”

Giovanni C - EXCESS 11

“I've been seduced by the performance of the Excess range, and that’s really why I've just bought an Excess 14, which for me is the ideal compromise. For me, with my sailing experience, it’s interior space and habitability, it meets all my expectations!”

André G - EXCESS 11

“We spent exactly 365 days onboard of our Excess 11 in both the Mediterranean and the Caribbean and loved the combination of comfort and sailing performance. We never imagined that taking showers or cooking while crossing an ocean would be so much fun!”

Marco and Lizzy - EXCESS 11

“In our opinion, this is the perfect compromise between comfort under way and at anchor, and great sailing sensations with performance that frequently impresses us! It sails very well upwind as well as in light airs. From 7 knots of apparent wind, we move faster under sail than under motor. We don't regret our choice one bit, and enjoy every day spent on board our Silène.”

Marion and Arthur - EXCESS 11

" - About the Excess Factory Tour - A thousand thank-yous for a wonderful day on Saturday. We really enjoyed taking part. The tour of the premises, with perfect commentary, was very interesting and informative. Thank you also for allowing me to see a preview of my own boat. "

“Yes, we were very impressed with the Excess 14. Each year, we teach hundreds of students how to sail on all the latest catamarans in production, from Fountaine Pajot, to Bali, Nautitech, etc..."

Tim G - EXCESS 14

"The boat was really light and fast, the mainsail is laregerand easier to operate. The sails can be hoisted and lowered very quicly... The self-tacking of the foresail, ma,ny catamarans don't have this. This one is especially good for leisure sailing, family outing, for the begginers starters... First of all, it's covenient. That's impportant, it's easy to maneuver, it's easy to get started."

J. Yu - EXCESS 11

The best Secrets Resorts & Spas for a relaxing, adults-only getaway

F rom Mexico to St. Martin, Spain to Jamaica — and quite a few destinations in between, including Bulgaria — Secrets Resorts & Spas have remained a primary player in Hyatt's push toward both luxury and all-inclusive resorts . The luxury brand continues to be one of the best of its kind, impressing Hyatt loyalists and travelers in search of the kind of vacation where you don't have to think about your wallet even once. On top of that, all of the properties are adults-only .

Consisting of 24 resorts across seven destinations (Mexico, St. Martin, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Spain and Bulgaria), Secrets promises to deliver an elevated, worry-free vacation in a picturesque seaside setting, and per its "Unlimited-Luxury" guarantee, everything (including food, alcoholic beverages, room service, most activities, entertainment and even in the in-room minibar) is included in the nightly rate. At Secrets' relatively newer, ultraluxe imprint, Impression, guests can expect the "Endless Privileges" promise, which includes amenities that go above and beyond, like bottles of top-shelf liquor upon arrival, personal butler service, three-times-daily maid service, 48-hour laundry service, a daily bottle of sparkling wine and more.

Fortunately, TPG can actually speak to these promises, as several members of our staff have had the chance to visit and review quite a few Secrets Resorts & Spas (a handful of which you'll see on this list) and can attest to the impressive level of service and comfortable accommodations.

Need help choosing the Secrets getaway of your dreams? We've got you covered. Read on for our take on the best Secrets resorts around the world.

If 500 acres of beachfront along the Yucatan Peninsula sounds like heaven to you, then Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun is your best bet. Just a hop, skip and a jump away from Cancun International Airport (CUN), the resort boasts 412 suites, starting at 624 feet, each with king or double beds and varying views of either the sparkling ocean or the property's lush and manicured vegetation.

Guests can expect mixed wood furnishings contrasted with a muted palette and pops of color throughout the space. Depending on the suite, wooden shutters may open onto a private patio or even a pool or outdoor soaking tub. Luxe amenities include marble bathrooms, 42-inch satellite TVs, Nespresso machines and even a pillow menu. For an even more sumptuous experience, look to the club-level suites, some of which span over 1,000 square feet and have swim-up access. Club-level suites will also get you access to a private beach club, exclusive liquors and a personal concierge.

When it comes to dining, as with most all-inclusive resorts, there are plenty of options to choose from, including a buffet, a grill, a casual cafe and three cuisine-specific restaurants (Bordeaux for French fare, El Patio for Mexican and Oceana for fresh seafood).

Wellness lovers will be happy to know that, true to form, this Secrets outpost has a Spa by Pevonia, perfect for a post-sun-and-sand relaxing treatment (for an extra fee). For those looking forward to outdoor activities, plenty are included in the nightly rate. Other than swimming in the two beautiful pools, you can participate in excursions like kayaking, fitness classes like yoga or unique experiences like a taco-making class.

All-inclusive rates at Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun start at $620 or 25,000 World of Hyatt points per night for two guests.

With its striking design and beachfront perch, Secrets The Vine Cancun is just the spot for those looking for a luxurious, adults-only experience in the heart of Cancun's vibrant Hotel Zone.

Ideal for enjoying both sunrises and sunsets, the 497 accommodations — both rooms and suites are available — at Secrets The Vine Cancun start at 475 square feet. Sleek touches like Italian porcelain floors, teak room furnishings and white glass in the bathrooms make these spaces feel particularly elevated. We think that suites with ocean views and private balconies are worth the splurge, given the waterfront location.

Of the nine restaurants on the property, five are a la carte, and there is also a buffet, a grill and a more low-key cafe. Dragons offers Far East cuisine in an elegant setting; Nebbiolo, an Italian restaurant, has both indoor and outdoor seating options; and Sea Salt Grill is the place to go for fresh seafood with a Peruvian twist.

Three infinity pools (one of which is for Preferred Club access only) ensure that there is ample space for guests to soak up the sun and splash about in the crystal-clear water for hours on end. However, those who want to try something a bit different could opt for dance lessons, scuba diving or a craft cocktail class. And, of course, the signature Spa by Pevonia is always a safe bet for ultimate relaxation — after all, isn't that what a vacation in the sun is all about?

Rates at Secrets The Vine Cancun start at $540 or 21,000 World of Hyatt points per night for two guests.

With the enticing vibrance of Playa del Carmen just a quick drive away, Impression Moxche by Secrets is an idyllic place to call home for those who want all the conveniences — and the privacy — of an exclusive all-inclusive property while still being close to the action. Plus, TPG even dubbed this resort one of the very best all-inclusive options on the map. With access to the entire Secrets Moxche Playa del Carmen property (adjacent to this one), this resort-within-a-resort takes luxury to the next level.

One of the biggest selling points of this Impression outpost is that every guest gets to stay in one of 198 enormous suites (starting at nearly 1,000 square feet), their very own butler, and access to exclusive restaurants, bars and luxury amenities (in addition to everything that the adjoining Secrets Moxche Playa del Carmen — a wonderful property, as well — has to offer). Suites feature rustic earth tones and cozy beds, spacious outdoor areas that may include private plunge pools or hot tubs, chic bathrooms with soaking tubs and rainfall showers, and sweeping ocean vistas.

Elevated and elegant restaurants are the norm at Impression Moxche, and guests can choose from a whopping 14 places to eat. Favorites include Allora, an upscale Italian eatery, and Teodoro, a chef's table-style restaurant with a seven-course menu. Of course, more casual spots are available, too, like the Barefoot Grill, fitting for a toes-in-the-sand lunch, or Dark Horse, where you can sip a craft cocktail while you catch a football game from the comfort of a leather couch.

When it comes to activities, there is plenty to keep guests occupied on-site, from relaxing at the rooftop infinity pool to snorkeling or venturing around the corner to explore the cenote-style pools at Secrets Moxche. Classes are also available (fitness, cooking and more), and of course, a rejuvenating treatment — or two — at the spa is the best way to unwind between dips in the ocean.

Rates at Impression Moxche by Secrets start at $850 or 42,000 World of Hyatt points per night for two guests.

The hustle and bustle of Cancun feels a world away at the ultraluxe Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets, located about 30 minutes by boat from the coast. The top-tier service begins the second guests step foot on the property, starting with a warm greeting from their personal butler.

There are 125 suite-style accommodations spread across the resort's manicured grounds — you may pick up on Grecian vibes, as seen in the towering white stone archways throughout. Calming, neutral tones, chic furnishings and ample natural light in the suites pair beautifully with spacious bathrooms and furnished terraces or balconies.

Gourmands can look forward to eight on-site restaurants offering varying cuisines and vibes. Book a teppanyaki table at Sake for an up-close experience with the chef, or enjoy global cuisine alfresco at ocean-facing La Vista. Casual options include Parisian cafe Cacao and Mercado, the perfect place to enjoy tacos by the pool. There's even an aptly named swim-up pool bar, Sharks, which serves up craft cocktails under the sun.

The crown jewel of the property may be the impressive multitiered infinity pool, which overlooks the vast ocean and reef below. Here, guests can lounge and sip cocktails on a chaise lounge or head down to the beach for a snorkel around one of the world's largest coral reefs. There are plenty of opportunities for wellness endeavors, too, at the fitness center and the relaxation spa. Those searching for an adventure should ask their butler about class offerings, such as cocktail courses and dance classes.

Rates at Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets start at $1,218 or 42,000 World of Hyatt points per night for two guests.

Known for its soft, white-sand beach, Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya places guests right in front of tranquil Caribbean waters. The area is known for its thriving green sea turtle population, so those with an eye toward marine life should certainly make time for a snorkeling excursion.

Winding pathways and undulating pools connect the resort's facilities with the 434 suites. Starting at 544 square feet, accommodations feature rich wooden accents, pops of bright pink, tropical patterns and thatched headboards, all reflective of the surrounding environment. Depending on the type of suite, you may have an ocean-facing view, a terrace or a private balcony. Chic bathrooms with marble touches feature hot tubs for two, separate showers and double vanities.

The nine on-site restaurants span the globe in terms of cuisine, from Bordeaux, a moody and upscale French restaurant, to Portofino, which transports you to Tuscany for authentic Italian fare. Casual bar options include Rendezvous, a lobby bar that offers panoramic ocean views, and Showtime, where guests can enjoy cocktails or a glass of wine while catching a movie.

As mentioned above, this is a particularly special destination when it comes to the local marine life, so carve out time for a snorkeling trip or a guided tour, which the concierge will happily arrange. Otherwise, there is plenty to keep guests busy around the property, from relaxing by the three pools to rounds of oceanfront golf or leisurely afternoons spent at the 18,000-foot signature Spa by Pevonia. Daily and nightly entertainment, like live music, theme nights and beach parties, will make the trip all the more memorable.

Rates at Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya start at $1,140 or 42,000 World of Hyatt points per night for two guests.

At Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica, guests can enjoy both a waterfront setting and the lush rainforest, thanks to the resort's hillside location above the stunning Arenilla Beach. With 202 suites starting at 398 square feet, this is a resort made for slipping into a state of total tranquility in one of the most beautiful pockets of Costa Rica.

Light and airy accommodations feature an earth-tone color palette, textured wooden accents and views of either the surrounding tropical vegetation or the glimmering bay below. Depending on the suite type, you may get to enjoy a private balcony or terrace. Bathrooms are sleek, with warm lighting, showers and double vanities.

The property has four restaurants that serve a la carte menus, like the pan-Asian Himitsu and Italian Portofino, as well as a poolside grill, a buffet, a casual cafe and multiple indoor and outdoor bars. (Yes, there is a swim-up bar here, too!)

There are two beautiful pools and the signature Spa by Pevonia to enjoy here, but exciting activities span far beyond the resort's thatched-roof facilities. Adventuresome guests should consider local guided hikes, a motor ATV excursion through the nearby mountains or even a canopy tour. As with all other Secrets resorts, daily and nightly entertainment is a given, including theme nights, musical tribute shows and special cocktail parties.

All-inclusive rates at Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica start at $499 or 25,000 points per night for two guests.

Because Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa is nestled into a gated resort community, it feels particularly private. It's also known as one of the more romance-centric Secrets outposts, as one of our staff members experienced , so this property may be an ideal choice for couples looking for the ultimate Caribbean escape for two. Perched in front of Juanillo Beach, famous for its sugarlike sand, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy this little slice of paradise in an adults-only style.

The 457 suites, which start at a generous 592 square feet, feel warm and inviting thanks to rich wooden furnishings and pillows in various shades of blue and pink. Furnished balconies, soaking tubs and rainfall showers make the spaces feel all the more decadent and romantic. Those who want to indulge a bit more should consider one of the club-level rooms, which boast extra space, sweeping ocean views and the opportunity for a private plunge pool.

Around the property, guests will find seven a la carte-style restaurants, a buffet, a grill and a laid-back cafe. However, couples should take note that a private dinner on the beach can easily be arranged. Six bars and lounges offer plenty of opportunity for relaxing and imbibing day and night, and there's even an exclusive lounge for those who splurge for Preferred Club, which comes with exclusive privileges, like access to a private pool and beach area.

Those hoping to relax poolside or dip their toes in the ocean won't be disappointed by the lush stretch of sand at Juanillo Beach and the large infinity pool. If you'd like to explore farther afield, consider booking a bike tour or deep-sea fishing adventure. Of course, there's nothing wrong with passing afternoons at the signature Spa by Pevonia — or trying out something different, such as a painting class or an aqua pole dancing lesson.

Rates for Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa start at $854 or 25,000 World of Hyatt points per night for two guests.

Included in our curated list of Europe's best all-inclusive resorts , Secrets Lanzarote Resort & Spa is located on the sun-soaked shores of the Canary Islands.

The 335 accommodations include both room and suite options. Desert-inspired, muted colors set a tranquil tone in these spaces, each of which features a private furnished balcony or terrace, as well as convenient amenities like coffee machines and rainfall showers.

Six restaurants, a buffet, a grill and a cafe give guests plenty of dining options, including cuisines ranging from Italian to sushi. Multiple indoor and outdoor bars provide ample space for trying out unique local cocktails, socializing and enjoying live music and performances day and night.

Four outdoor pools offer an ideal place to perch under the sun for hours, sipping cocktails and enjoying sweeping Atlantic Ocean views. One thing that makes Lanzarote particularly special is its proximity to stunning natural attractions like the volcanic Timanfaya National Park and nearby Papagayo Beach, known for its crystal-clear waters, so guests who like to explore the local area will have plenty of opportunities to do so here.

Wellness seekers can enjoy treatments at the Secrets Spa, which offers everything from hydrotherapy to massage and facial or body treatments.

Rates for Secrets Lanzarote Resort & Spa start at $296 or 17,000 World of Hyatt points per night for two guests.

Situated very close to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef — one of the world's largest — Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres is one of TPG's top picks for all-inclusive resorts in Cancun . Though it's only 12 miles north of the bustling hub, this special resort feels much farther away from the energy of Cancun's popular (and oft-frenzied) Hotel Zone. The pristine white-sand beach is certainly one of the biggest draws, though the opportunity to explore local gems, like nearby Isla Contoy National Park, is a close second.

Guests can relax in one of 507 suites, starting at 581 square feet, featuring modern hardwood furnishings and a mix of cream and brown earth tones. Some suites have private furnished balconies, while others have swim-out pools or private terraces. All of them, lucky for guests, have hot tubs and spacious bathrooms with soaking tubs and double vanities.

In terms of dining, true to form, this Secrets resort features plenty of options to experience a variety of international cuisines and lots of space for drinking both indoors and outdoors. Nine restaurants include six a la carte options, a buffet, a grill and a cafe. Of particular interest may be the lush Jungle Pool Bar, which offers poolside tropical drinks, or Desires, which hosts a DJ, dance floor and outdoor fire pit.

With two large infinity pools and one jungle-inspired pool, there is plenty of space to spread out, sunbathe and swim. Guests can also enjoy nonmotorized water sports like kayaking and catamaran rides or snorkeling around the nearby reef. The signature Spa by Penovia, with its sauna rooms and hydro massage pool, is the cherry on top of this relaxing oasis.

Rates at Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres start at $560 or 25,000 World of Hyatt points per night for two guests.
