Luxury brands move deeper into all-inclusive and honeymoon territory

Waldorf Astoria Riviera Maya and Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya are now branded as Distinct All-Inclusive Resorts, putting two Hilton luxury names directly into the Mexican all-inclusive segment. For advisors, this widens the high-end AI choices for destination weddings and honeymoons in Mexico, alongside Hyatt Inclusive, Excellence and Palace.

The source does not give commission terms, wedding or group policies, or rates. Before pitching these to couples, confirm the agent commission, the minimum-night and room-block rules for weddings, any comp-room concessions for groups, and how rates compare with the existing luxury AI set. Those answers will decide whether these properties fit wedding-party bookings or work better as honeymoon-only options.

The Luxury Hospitality Group has announced its global debut in the Maldives. The Maxx Royal Maldives resort is planned across five islands and is due to open in autumn 2027. It would be the Turkish luxury brand's first property outside Türkiye.

This is a pre-opening announcement, so there are no rates, commission details or room counts to work with yet. Advisors who sell Maldives honeymoons can add it to their watch list as a possible 2027 to 2028 option. Ask the brand about agent programs and pre-opening rates, and about overwater inventory, before quoting it to clients planning that far ahead.
