AVA Resort Cancun, a premium all-inclusive resort led by AIC Hotel Group, has officially opened, setting a new standard for luxury vacations. Located just ten minutes from Cancun Airport, AVA offers 1,600 ocean-facing rooms, 27 restaurants and bars, a world-class 22,000-square-foot spa and wellness center, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, and a custom-designed waterpark.
Known for its exceptional amenities and curated cuisine, AVA Resort is poised to become Cancun's newest vacation landmark. Designed by Boris Pena Architects and Gensler Architects, the resort blends laid-back luxury with a chic coastal aesthetic, reflecting the natural beauty of the Mexican Caribbean. The collaboration with local artisans has resulted in unique finishes, from bespoke tiles to handcrafted woodwork, enhancing the resort's sophisticated atmosphere.
"We're thrilled to introduce AVA Resort Cancun, filling a notable gap in the market for a luxury all-inclusive resort designed for multigenerational guests," said Ash Tembe, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at AIC Hotel Group. "With exceptionally high-quality dining outlets, stunning architecture and design, and unparalleled amenities and accommodations, AVA raises the bar in Mexican hospitality."
Every room in AVA's three categories—guestrooms, suites, and villas—offers direct ocean views and luxury amenities. AVA Villas, the highest category, feature private pools, full bars, kitchens, dining for up to 12, and dedicated butler services.
Dining at AVA is a unique experience with 27 food and beverage outlets, including five-star restaurants, global food markets, and taquerias. Each venue is individually curated, featuring distinctive tiles and Chukum plaster to create warmth and texture. AVA's wine cellar offers an expansive list of international labels, while expert mixologists craft artistic cocktails and host hands-on classes.
Family-friendly activities abound, with a variety of on and off-resort adventures, arts and crafts, marine discovery, and movie nights. Teens can enjoy The Lounge, featuring an indoor pool, AR gaming, a snack bar, and bowling. Childcare and nanny services are available for younger guests.
The resort also offers 90,000 square feet of flexible event space, making it ideal for weddings, family reunions, corporate events, and more. The resort's planners assist guests with every detail to ensure successful events.
Sustainability is a key focus at AVA Resort Cancun. AVA Bay, powered by Crystal Lagoons Technology®, consumes significantly less energy and chemicals compared to traditional pools. Thousands of solar panels and sustainable plaster contribute to the resort's eco-friendly operations, aiming to preserve Cancun's natural ecosystems.
AVA Resort Cancun offers a luxury all-inclusive experience comparable to a five-star resort, providing exceptional value. With meticulously curated design, extensive activities, and unparalleled culinary offerings, AVA is set to become one of Cancun's most celebrated getaways.

Sandals Resorts International has unveiled a transformative global campaign, "Made of Caribbean," celebrating the soul and vibrancy of the islands. Developed by Leo Burnett, the campaign captures the brand's authentic connection to the Caribbean, weaving together its rich traditions, natural beauty, and welcoming spirit.
Narrated by Sandals Executive Chairman Adam Stewart, the campaign showcases Sandals' commitment to championing the Caribbean's essence. Stewart explains, “The Caribbean connects us all. It’s part of our soul, and we want to share these unique experiences and this joy with the world.”
The campaign's centerpiece is a visually stunning brand film and innovative visuals created with Wolff Olins, introducing a refreshed identity that blends typography, color palettes, and motion graphics. The launch emphasizes Sandals and Beaches Resorts' distinction as pioneers in all-inclusive luxury, offering immersive experiences that go beyond standard vacation packages.
Sandals Resorts' new spot, "Three Things," highlights exclusive adventures and soul-stirring experiences across the islands. Meanwhile, Beaches Resorts’ family-oriented spot, "Memories," directed by Tucker Bliss, captures the wonder of travel through a child’s eyes, celebrating connections across generations.
Expanding across television, print, digital, and out-of-home advertising, the multimillion-dollar campaign will reach audiences worldwide throughout 2025. A key highlight includes a spectacular New Year’s Eve presence in Times Square during the iconic ball drop and strategic video displays in New York City and Chicago.
The evolved brand identity aligns with Sandals’ legacy of showcasing the Caribbean’s vibrancy. Wolff Olins' Thomas Wilder shares, “Through ‘Natural Vibrancy,’ we inspire travelers to embrace the richness of the islands, celebrating tastes, styles, and rhythms unique to the region.”
As the campaign unfolds, Sandals Resorts reaffirms its position as a leader in Caribbean tourism. Stewart concludes, “This is more than a campaign—it’s a celebration of our home and a tribute to the transformative power of the Caribbean.”
For over four decades, Sandals Resorts has been at the forefront of delivering world-class, all-inclusive vacations. With this campaign, the brand invites travelers to connect with the heart of the Caribbean like never before.
