Say Farewell to the Ordinary

The first SLS all-inclusive may only be 30 minutes from Cancun International Airport, but it’s a world away from the well-trodden tourist paths. The sprawling gated resort is a wonderland of indulgence that sparkles on the unspoiled shores of Playa Mujeres, Mexico. Known for its chef-led, palette-piquing cuisine, luxe accommodations, extensive wellness programme and singular energy, SLS Playa Mujeres has quickly become the go-to choice for friends’ trips, retreats for two and family fun alike. Select ground-floor rooms feature swim-out pools, while the top floor is lined with two-level suites, each topped with a jacuzzi on a private rooftop deck. The resort is also home to SLS Elite premium rooms and suites, which include butler service, private check-in and exclusive beach and pool areas. With 18 restaurants and bars, four pools – including an adults-only pool and a splash zone for the kids – vibrant entertainment and all-ages recreation, no two days will ever be the same. Who says you can’t have it all?

Just a short drive from the city centre, SLS Barcelona brings the city’s trademark energy to a dazzling coastal setting that is a destination unto itself. This five-star stay begins with lavishly appointed rooms and suites, each with a balcony or terrace, that are steps from the beach and minutes from top cultural attractions. Embracing the electricity of the Catalan capital’s culinary and nightlife scene, six world-class restaurants and bars captivate with a mix of local flavour and unexpected delights. A lively tapas bar with sunny interiors, L’Anxova Divina, and Lora, a Mediterranean kitchen powered by open fire, set the tone with tantalising menus. Just upstairs, Kyara presents some of the boldest cocktails in town. When in season, the pools transform into the hotel’s social heartbeat – sun-soaked, sparkling, and scene-stealing. Two of the three sea-facing pools crown the rooftop, offering sweeping views across the city and sea. Enter SLS Barcelona’s unique blend of Mediterranean glamour and cosmopolitan flair, and discover the coolest hotel in the city.
