An all-inclusive stay is more than just a hotel: It’s lodging, dining and activities all wrapped into one straightforward price package. This makes it easier to plan and budget for your trip — and easier to enjoy your vacation because there’s no extra research, no separate bookings and you’ll rarely (if ever) have to reach for your wallet.
Even better, you don’t have to leave rewards on the table when you stay at an all-inclusive with Iberostar Beachfront Resorts when booking on IHG.com.
Spanish hotel and resort company Iberostar has an exclusive alliance with IHG Hotels and Resorts, allowing IHG One Rewards members to leverage all the benefits of IHG One Rewards membership at some of Iberostar’s best all-inclusive resorts. That means you can earn and redeem IHG One Rewards points, accrue nights toward elite status and use elite status perks — all by booking your Iberostar Beachfront Resort stay through IHG’s website or app.
What makes Iberostar Beachfront Resorts different
Through the exclusive alliance with IHG, Iberostar Beachfront Resorts expands IHG’s growing all-inclusive portfolio. The collection spans dozens of beachfront properties across desirable destinations from Mexico, Brazil and the Caribbean to Europe and Africa, with three distinct brands — JOIA by Iberostar, Iberostar Selection and Iberostar Waves — giving travelers more choice within IHG’s all-inclusive offering, spanning luxury, premium and more activity-driven stays.
There are three brands to choose from:
JOIA by Iberostar: A collection of luxurious adults-only resorts set on some of the world’s most standout beaches — think Riviera Maya, Punta Cana and Montego Bay. Highly personalized service makes JOIA resorts perfect for couples celebrating a big milestone or solo travelers seeking a restorative getaway.
Iberostar Selection: With premium touches, extra amenities and no shortage of style, Iberostar Selection resorts cater to all types of travelers. You’ll find diverse dining options and activities for all ages — from water sports to game rooms — so you can easily customize your dream trip.
Iberostar Waves: These self-described “vacation playgrounds” are designed for families and couples looking for an active vacation, with a menu of daily activities almost as long as the food menu.

For a quick and easy wellness retreat: Iberostar Selection Coral Cancún
This adults-only all-inclusive resort is designed with wellness in mind, whether you’re traveling alone, as a couple or with friends. The Iberostar Selection Coral Cancún is a luxury tower within the broader Iberostar Selection Cancún property, with each room facing the ocean and just steps from a private beach and pool.
At the spa, guests can choose from a menu of relaxing spa treatments, including massages, body wraps and hydrotherapy, plus access to the thermal circuits, saunas and steam rooms. Beyond the spa, Coral level guests still have access to the amenities on the Selection side, including a gym, yoga and fitness classes, multiple pools and a golf course. And sitting in Cancún’s Hotel Zone, you’re never far from the action beyond the resort when you want it. Plus, Mexico’s proximity and abundance of nonstop flights from the U.S. make it easy to come here for a long weekend — no jet lag needed.
For all-inclusive family fun: Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites
For a fun vacation for the whole crew, head to the family-friendly Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites in Montego Bay, Jamaica. With plenty of restaurants and diverse dining options, there’s something to please every palate, from casual beachside lunches to sit-down dinners. Parents can unwind at one of the six bars or book a treatment at the spa while the kids splash in the outdoor pool or join Star Camp, the resort’s supervised kids program packed with curated games, activities and entertainment.
For a luxurious couples getaway: JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar
On the soft sands of Playa Bávaro along Punta Cana’s Coconut Coast, this adults-only, all-suite resort is ideal for a romantic retreat. Every suite at JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar features a hammock and a hot tub, and personal butler service is available in select room categories for the ultimate luxury. Leave real life behind while you stroll through lush botanical gardens, enjoy a treatment at the world-class spa, and sip mai tais in a bar in a replica Spanish galleon.
For a quiet vacation away from the crowds: JOIA Aruba by Iberostar
Escape the crowds at JOIA Aruba by Iberostar, one of the newest and most luxurious additions to the Iberostar Beachfront Resorts portfolio, set on Aruba’s famed Eagle Beach. Aruba’s great year-round weather means more flexibility when choosing your travel dates, making it an appealing vacation option year-round.
When you’re ready to venture beyond its famed beaches, this resort delivers on all fronts: unwind with a spa session, explore the culinary offerings across a spectacular buffet, three specialty restaurants, four bars and the Star Café or tee off at Tierra del Sol, Aruba’s only professional 18-hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones II.
For a European beach-city combo trip: Iberostar Selection Llaut Palma and Iberostar Selection Albufera Playa
Looking to pair a beach retreat with European adventures? Mallorca, a sun-soaked Spanish island in the Mediterranean, is an ideal base and has several stunning Iberostar Beachfront Resorts to choose from, and they are easily reachable via a short flight or ferry from mainland Spain.
Iberostar Selection Llaut Palma is designed for couples, with spacious rooms and balconies with some of the most spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea. For families and multigenerational groups, the recently renovated Iberostar Selection Albufera Playa sits right on the seafront of one of Mallorca’s best beaches, surrounded by the stunning Albufera Nature Reserve, offering guests the rare combination of beachfront access and unspoiled natural scenery.
Step 2: Understand what’s included in your stay — and what you can add
The beauty of an all-inclusive stay is simplicity—and savings. When booking Iberostar Beachfront Resorts on IHG.com, you don’t have to worry about budgeting for food and drinks in addition to lodging. Your stay comes with an impressive range of dining options, from delicious buffets and specialty restaurants to casual poolside bites, so every meal is an experience rather than another line item in your budget. Most all-inclusive packages also cover specialty dining, resort access, entertainment and nonmotorized water sports.
What should you plan to pay for? Some activities, like spa treatments and excursions, are a la carte, but with so much already included, these additions are easy to plan for in advance,
Step 3: Use IHG One Rewards to get more value
More than 65 qualifying Iberostar Beachfront Resorts are bookable through IHG, meaning you can discover, compare and book participating properties through IHG.com and the IHG app, all within the loyalty ecosystem you already know and use.
On cash bookings, IHG One Rewards members (it’s free to join) earn 10 points per dollar spent on stays at participating Iberostar Beachfront Resorts, as well as elite night credits toward the next status tier. Plus, you can earn bonus points if you hold IHG elite status, and even more if you pay for your stay with an IHG cobranded credit card.
You can also redeem IHG points for your Iberostar Beachfront Resorts stay. Since IHG uses dynamic award pricing, rates may vary depending on your destination and dates. On any property page, the IHG site lets you toggle between points and cash rates.
When you redeem points for an all-inclusive stay, you’re not just getting a room — it includes all food, drinks and activities in your nightly rate. This is particularly valuable because there are currently few ways to get good value from points and miles when redeeming them for purchases outside of travel. Booking with IHG One Rewards points at an Iberostar Beachfront Resort means meals and activities are covered, with no additional out-of-pocket costs.
IHG One Rewards members also receive additional benefits during their stay. Club members and above receive free Wi-Fi and 2 p.m. late checkout (when available; not available at all Iberostar properties) — while Silver Elite, Gold Elite, Platinum Elite and Diamond Elite members receive additional benefits based on their tier
Step 4: Book through IHG channels — here’s why it matters
There are countless ways to book hotels these days, but your best bet for Iberostar Beachfront Resorts is to book directly through IHG’s website or app.
Booking directly also maximizes your rewards through the IHG One Rewards program. Generally, booking elsewhere won’t allow you to earn IHG points, accrue elite night credits or take advantage of member benefits like free Wi-Fi.
You can find participating Iberostar Beachfront Resorts on the IHG site here.
Bottom line
All-inclusive vacations can be a great fit for any type of traveler — and with three distinct brands and over 65 properties across Europe, Africa and the Americas, Iberostar Beachfront Resorts has something for everyone.
Plus, you can easily find a resort, book your trip and maximize your rewards through the IHG website or app. That’s almost as easy as your all-inclusive vacation will be.
