- More Options For Non-Alcoholic All-Inclusive Resorts
Summary
- Discover all-inclusive resorts that cater to non-alcoholic guests, providing unlimited non-alcoholic drinks and a range of exciting activities.
- Some resorts offer packages with and without alcohol, allowing guests to choose based on their preferences and saving non-drinkers from paying for something they won't consume.
- From beachfront resorts in Thailand to secluded getaways in the Maldives, there are options available for those seeking a sober vacation experience surrounded by natural beauty and relaxation.
Unlimited alcohol is typically the selling point for an all-inclusive vacation package. For tourists who arrive at their resorts and realize that drinks aren’t part of the deal, a bad review usually isn’t far behind. Light drinkers and sober tourists face the opposite issue. Being forced to pay for bottles of wine that they don't intend on drinking feels like a total rip-off. Unfortunately, not many resorts look out for these kinds of guests. This list will highlight the ones that do.
How many of the world's best all-inclusive resorts really offer alcohol-free packages? Some of the resorts in this list will exclude all beverages while others simply exclude alcoholic ones. While both are effective solutions for the cost-concerned, the second option serves to give those concerned with sobriety a better (though imperfect) alternative to the usual all-inclusive resort.
