Top All-Inclusive Resorts in Florida for 2024

The only thing better than a Florida vacation is an all-inclusive Florida vacation.

By Gwen Pratesi and Amanda Norcross | Jan. 5, 2024

Yes, there are all-inclusive resorts in Florida (and other destinations in the U.S.), albeit few and typically pricier than their counterparts in the Caribbean.

Select Florida resorts, such as the adults-only Bungalows Key Largo, are truly all-inclusive, while others offer all-inclusive packages or nearly all-inclusive rates that include overnight accommodations plus some meals and activities. Read on to discover the best all-inclusive resorts in Florida.

Bungalows Key Largo: Key Largo

Best for: Adults

Top perk: Bungalows with outdoor soaking tubs

This adults-only all-inclusive resort features 135 private waterfront and garden bungalows with bougainvillea-covered verandas, soaking tubs and outdoor garden showers. All-inclusive rates at Bungalows Key Largo cover unlimited dining, top-shelf alcoholic beverage options and nonalcoholic drinks at five restaurants. You can also enjoy complimentary cocktails and small bites while relaxing poolside. Dinner at Bogie & Bacall's, the resort's fine dining venue (which also offers in-room dining), comes with an additional charge for those staying less than four nights.

Rates at this all-inclusive Florida resort also cover access to yoga classes, water sports equipment like paddleboards and kayaks, Peloton equipment at the fitness center, and special events such as trivia and karaoke. For additional fees, guests can float on a tiki boat, enjoy a sunset cruise, go fishing or diving, or even try island hopping by seaplane. Treatments at the Zen Garden spa, which features Himalayan salt treatment and eucalyptus steam rooms among other amenities, come at an added cost as well. Recent guests praise everything about this Key Largo hotel, considered one of the best resorts in the Florida Keys.

Little Palm Island Resort & Spa: Little Torch Key

Best for: Adults

Top perk: Private island locale

Another adults-only resort in the Florida Keys is the Little Palm Island Resort & Spa. This Noble House property is located on a private island, where thatched-roof suites with ocean views as well as indoor and/or outdoor showers await couples in search of romance. While the resort is undeniably expensive, previous guests say it's well worth the cost.

Daily rates include motor yacht transfers to the island, welcome cocktails and staff gratuities, as well as other amenities ranging from a swimming pool to rentals for kayaks, paddleboards and sailboats. For an all-inclusive resort experience, couples can book the "Culinary Indulgence" package (with a minimum two-night stay), which covers daily breakfast, a daily three-course lunch and a four-course dinner each evening. Those who opt for this package will also receive a bottle of Champagne upon arrival to the resort and a nightly $100 spa credit per person. Alcoholic beverages, however, are an additional cost. For an extra-special experience, book a day trip to Dry Tortugas National Park via seaplane.

You can also take advantage of a variety of adults-only and kid-friendly pools and whirlpools, more than a dozen dining options, and a spa.

Many recent guests of the resort have raved about their experience, though some note the guest rooms are a bit dated. Luckily, Tradewinds Island Resorts is expected to undergo major renovations over the next few years.
