From the cobbled streets of Portugal to the beaches of Southeast Asia, I've compiled some of the best long-stay holiday destinations for Canadians in 2025 and beyond, each offering a unique balance of comfort, culture, and connectivity.

Whether you're dreaming of the soft white sands of the Riviera Maya or the golden sunsets of Puerto Vallarta and Huatulco, here are my favourite all-inclusive resorts in Mexico to book for families that deliver serious fun and plenty of relaxation for everyone in your crew.
