The standout among them is Naviva, an adults-only tented camp on Mexico's west coast, which opened in December of 2022. It has just 15 rooms (actually, tents) squir- reled away amid an almost 50-acre tropical forest on a private peninsula. The goal is for guests to fully disconnect from the world—so nightly rates include anything you might wish to enjoy on property. Book a massage using locally sourced tepezcohuite, a type of mimosa known for its anti-aging and healing abilities, or a workout in the al-fresco gym, where the dumbbells are hewn from stones found on the property rather than steel; all food and beverages are included, as are the resort's surprising bonuses, which might include a spontaneous picnic in the jungle. AIRELLES RESORTS France This under-the-radar French f irm is slowly establishing itself as a power player in the ultra- luxe, all-inclusive space, with properties around the country and soon also in Venice, Italy. Its focus is on gestures of generosity to guests, and a feeling that its premium rates are great value for money. There's no additional charge for sunbeds at its private beach in St Tropez, for instance, or for an exploratory excursion in its mini Mokes, while inclusive rates at the property at Versailles include multiple exclusive tours. Guests can opt for old-school full board, with all meals included in the rate, and every night's turndown gift is more impressive than a chocolate or two. At its Courchevel or Val d'Isère outposts, for example, that's a jacket produced in collaboration with Fusalp, while those who stay at the Versailles property will leave with a liquette, the nightshirt traditionally worn at that cour t. No wonder there's even a full-time sta'er who, in addition to managing the boutique, is also responsible for wrangling those turndown treats. TORDRILLO MOUNTAIN LODGE Alaska Olympic gold medalist in alpine skiing Tommy Moe co-owns this adventure lodge a 40-minute flight from Anchorage in Alaska's pristine wil- derness, so it's no wonder he wanted his guests to enjoy the outdoors without any constraints. Pick a package depending on the season, and there's an unlimited adrenaline rush on tap. In pea k w inter sea son, expect heli advent ures every day, scouring the landscape for the best places to ski and board, under the auspices of pro-level guides (there are five flight hours per group of four to spend as you wish across your stay). In summer, when the wildflowers and for- ests burst into life, pick the heli excursions to fish, raft, or climb a via ferrata at no extra cost, or choose from a variety of included activities such as surfing, kayaking, and water skiing. During June, there's a special, all-inclusive program: heliskiing on perfectly soft snow in the morning, and fishing for king salmon by night. All meals and a connection from Anchorage by plane are also included, whatever the time of year.
