All Inclusive Luxury Island Resorts

Ready to get away? Luxury island resorts are the perfect way to do that. The ones listed here are our favorites and known around as the best there are. Many are on private islands. 

My favorite island family vacation ideas usually have an element of ease and an element of challenge. Family bonding is enhanced when the group is challenged and inspired enough not to become bored and with opportunities to bond.

These spots below are all great for resorts. Follow the links to find out more about these amazing island locations and the luxury resorts that live on them.

Bali Island Family Vacation Ideas

Bali is a culturally rich tropical island paradise within easy reach of the Pacific and Asia. Then if you are planning a Great Barrier reef adventure Bali is well worth the addition to your travel itinerary for this part of the world. Your dollar will also go further in Bali and you may find your family living like kings and queens of old and learning to live responsibly from within another culture. Although you may find Bali is more like a western country in many regards. Bali is well accustomed to tourists with a constant stream of mostly Australian but also visitors from around the world to this truly international destination.

Picaresque with Oak Grass and palm lined, beaches with a gentle scattering of resorts with their associated sporting facilities. Many head for the popular Coligny Beach but there are other options. to enjoy miles of bike paths, para-sail or enjoy the nearby historic cities of the South.

Corsica

Corsica is a French island commonly known as being situated within the French Riviera. As such, there are miles of shimmering coastlines with white sandy beaches, and also bustling towns with small harbors where you can dine to the chinking of the masts of the many boats bobbing in the bay. Two thirds of the island is mountainous, making this island a must-visit for hikers as well as beach lovers, divers and culture lovers. Ecologically endearing, you can see wild boar wandering and turtles padding in the sun. Culturally, Corsica is fascinating; boasting relics from the medieval period when it was occupied by the Roman Empire and home to a museum in the house of the infamous Napoleon Bonaparte; the French Emperor. After a satisfying day lying by the sea, you can head to the hilltops for some gourmet dining. The food in Corsica is some of the best you will ever be served. The Corsicans take their food seriously and devotedly use the plethora of sun-loving fruit and vegetables available to them, in addition to fine cheese and cured meats. The wine is also unique and divine. Add to this a wonderful selection of fresh seafood available on the coast, and some delectable Corsican lamb, and you are guaranteed to be gastronomically content. There are some exquisite venues to be sought too; you can find wonderful havens amidst orange trees as the sun sets over the azure sea and enjoy an almost Tuscan feel as you wile away your evenings.

Sardinia

Sardinia is an Italian island in the Mediterranean Sea. It is the second largest of the Mediterranean islands offering some dramatic scenery from high, rocky headlands, to long white beach shorelines punctuated with deep bays, small inlets and salt water lagoons. Sardinia too, is mountainous, so, good for hiking. There are also major rivers, the Coghinas and Flumen Dosa, which offer some impressive walking and picnicking territory. Aside from this, Sardinia is coveted for the Costa Smerelda. Here there are secluded white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. There are also designer boutiques; prestigious fine dining and you may spot a celebrity or two. Costa Smerelda is popular with the rich and famous so expect elegant dining and serious style.  Like Corsica, Sardinia is bursting with historical relics with remnants of prehistoric temples and artifacts dating from Byzantium rule and as far back as 1600BC. All the resting, walking and sight-seeing can be hungry work. Fortunately, there are large numbers of restaurants both beside the water and in the cozy mountains oozing with charm in which to enjoy the warm Mediterranean evenings and delight your taste buds. With its Italian influence, expect large sumptuous meals with plenty of olives and olive oil, fresh herbs and lemon. Antipasti of cured meats and fine cheeses, clams, mussels and octopus can be devoured and the traditional Sardinian dish of barbequed pig is a must-have for all non-vegetarians.

Cyprus

Cyprus, the third largest island in the Mediterranean, is an enchanting mixture, once again, of beautiful coastline and wonderful mountains. Legend has it that Cyprus is the birthplace of Aphrodite (the Goddess of Love). Unsurprisingly, it oozes decadent, natural beauty. It’s a popular holiday destination with bustling fishing towns such as Ayia Napa, famous for its vibrant nightlife and also rich with tempting gift shops. However, there are areas of seclusion and peaceful resorts in the mountains should you prefer a more exclusive getaway. Like the other islands mentioned, Cyprus has a dense history having been ruled through the years by major empires such as the Assyrians, the Egyptians, the Persians, the Roman Empire and then the Ottoman Empire. This gives Cyprus a unique blend of culture and heritage with wonderful things to see, exquisite souvenirs and a variety of evening entertainments. You can choose to dine in small, secluded restaurants or noisy tavernas where there is often music and dancing for your enjoyment. Expect your appetite to be tempted by a mixture of Greek and Turkish cuisine. Mediterranean grown vegetables and herbs, olives and oil with barbequed meat and feta cheese are enough to start anyone salivating. Mint is commonly used in much of the cooking, honoring the Turkish influence and there are traditional dishes from both Greece and Turkey to please you.

Exploring the Med 

These are just three examples of the gems that lie in the Mediterranean Sea. Imagine exploring these and more all for yourself. If you're looking for some of the most luxurious and decadent resorts Europe has to offer, you'll find them in the Med.

The Magic of the Med

The beauty of the Mediterranean (the sun and sea aside) is the rich diversity in culture that each of the neighboring countries and their islands contain. Not only do you have the choice of some beautiful beaches, some delicious food and everything conducive to rest and relaxation, you also have activities to entertain you and history to entice you. No island or country is the same although many have histories and culture that intersect. The Mediterranean truly is a marvel.
