The new generation of luxury all-inclusive resorts has little to do with the old clichés of mass tourism, mediocre buffets and annoying entertainers. Instead, they focus on exclusivity and carefree living as the highest good: breathtaking locations, culinary flights of fancy, top service, premium programs and privacy - and all that at a fixed price. Here are six sophisticated all-inclusive resorts that leave absolutely nothing to be desired!
