Meliá Hotels & ResortsEvery resort, ranked
Meliá Hotels International is one of the world's largest resort operators, a Mallorca-born, family-founded group whose all-inclusive footprint spans the Caribbean and the Spanish Mediterranean. The name on the gate matters: the group runs a ladder of brands — Sol at the value end, Meliá in the middle, Paradisus as the luxury all-inclusive flagship — plus city-oriented lines that rarely touch all-inclusive at all.
Meliá-branded beach resorts are the versatile middle: solid four-to-five-star properties, strong in Spain and the Canaries and present across the Caribbean, with 'The Level' as the premium-floor upgrade that buys private lounges and pools. If you're comparing against the Paradisus flagship experience, see our separate Paradisus page — same parent, meaningfully different product.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Meliá and Paradisus?
Same parent company, different tiers. Paradisus is the luxury all-inclusive flagship brand; Meliá-branded resorts are the mainstream tier, often with all-inclusive as one of several board options rather than the default.
Are Meliá resorts all-inclusive?
Many beach properties offer all-inclusive plans, but it's not universal — some run breakfast/half-board models, especially in Europe. Check the specific resort's plan on its page.
