The best luxury and all-inclusive resorts in Bangladesh are Sea Pearl Beach Resort & Spa on Inani Beach in Cox's Bazar, The Palace Luxury Resort in Habiganj and Grand Sultan Tea Resort & Golf in Sreemangal, with Pan Pacific Sonargaon for a city stay in Dhaka. True all-inclusive resorts, where one price covers every meal, drinks and activities, are still rare in Bangladesh. What the country does have is a growing set of luxury and resort-style properties that sell full-board or package stays: room, breakfast, often lunch and dinner, pool access and a few activities bundled into one rate. This guide covers 24 of them across eight districts, from five-star beach resorts on the Marine Drive in Cox's Bazar to tea-garden retreats near Sylhet and day-trip resorts around Dhaka.
Each entry gives the area, the setting, who the property suits and what to ask about packages. Room rates in Bangladesh swing sharply between weekdays, weekends, Eid holidays and the winter peak from November to February, so this guide does not quote fixed prices; ask each resort for a written package quote for your dates.
How we selected these resorts: The list mixes established five-star properties and smaller resorts already featured on BookingMentor, spread across beach, hills, tea country, haor wetlands and the outskirts of Dhaka. Locations and core facilities were checked against booking listings and Bangladeshi press coverage in October 2026. Where a property's details could not be confirmed independently, the entry keeps to its location and setting.

24 best luxury and all-inclusive resorts in Bangladesh: full guide
The 24 resorts below are spread across eight districts, from five-star beach resorts on the Marine Drive in Cox's Bazar to tea-garden retreats near Sylhet and day-trip resorts around Dhaka. Most sell full-board or package stays and few offer true all-inclusive rates, so each entry gives the area, the setting, who it suits and what to ask.
Sea Pearl Beach Resort & Spa, Cox's Bazar
Sea Pearl is a large luxury beach resort on Inani Beach at Jaliapalong, Ukhia, about 40 minutes south of central Cox's Bazar along the Marine Drive. The setting is quieter than the Kolatoli and Laboni hotel strip, with direct access to Inani's wide sand and rock-dotted shallows.
Guests come for the pools, spa, gym and several restaurants on site, which makes a full-board or package stay practical: once you arrive, there is little reason to drive back into town for meals. Families, honeymooners and luxury travellers are the main market. During Eid and the winter school holidays the resort fills up and the pools get crowded, so book well ahead and ask whether your package includes lunch and dinner or breakfast only.
For a self-contained beach stay it is hard to beat. Request a sea-facing room on a higher floor for the Inani sunset.
Pan Pacific Sonargaon, Dhaka
Opened in 1981 on an 8-acre site on Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue in Kawran Bazar, the Sonargaon is one of Dhaka's oldest five-star hotels and a city classic. The building is government-owned and managed by Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts, with roughly 270 to 280 rooms depending on the listing.
It is a city hotel, but its outdoor pool, children's pool, health club and restaurants give a resort-style stay inside central Dhaka. It suits business travellers, transit guests and couples who want a staycation without leaving the city. Weekend room-and-dining packages are the closest thing to all-inclusive here, so ask about them when booking.
As a central Dhaka base with a pool it works well; just allow extra time for traffic on airport transfers.
The Palace Luxury Resort, Habiganj
Set on about 150 acres of hills and lakes at Putijuri, Bahubal, on the Dhaka to Sylhet N2 highway, The Palace opened in December 2014 and is often described as one of the largest resorts in Bangladesh. Press coverage lists 111 tower rooms, 22 villas and 2 presidential villas.
Facilities include an outdoor pool, Turkish bath, sauna, gym, several restaurants, a cinema and a game room, with boating, angling, trekking and cycling on the grounds. That spread of activities is why it works well for a full-board stay for families, couples and corporate retreats; ask which activities are in the room rate. It is a long drive from Dhaka, so most guests stay two or three nights.
Treat it as a multi-day break between Dhaka and Sylhet, and book villas early for winter weekends.
Grand Sultan Tea Resort & Golf, Sreemangal
Tea gardens surround Grand Sultan on the Sreemangal to Bhanugach road in Moulvibazar, and it is the best-known five-star resort in Bangladesh's tea country. Listings describe a 9-hole golf course, several outdoor pools, a spa, health club and tennis.
Couples, families and golfers who want to see the tea estates, Lawachara National Park and Madhabpur Lake on day trips can come back each evening to full resort facilities. Package stays with meals are common on weekends and holidays, though it is worth asking whether golf and spa are extra. See our guide to resorts in Sreemangal for smaller alternatives nearby.
It makes an easy tea-country weekend: the road from Sreemangal town is short, so day trips are simple.
Ocean Paradise Hotel & Resort, Cox's Bazar
On the Kolatoli hotel strip of Cox's Bazar, close to the main beach and the town's restaurants, Ocean Paradise is a large mid-luxury hotel and resort with rooms and suites, restaurants and a swimming pool.
It suits travellers who want resort facilities with the beach and town within easy reach, which a remote Inani resort cannot offer. It is popular with families and honeymoon couples during the winter season. Packages are usually room plus breakfast, so plan to eat some meals in town, and ask about the sea-view room categories.
You get the beach and the town's restaurants together here, though the beach in front gets busy during holidays.
Sairu Hill Resort, Bandarban
Around 18 km from Bandarban town on the Chimbuk road, this hilltop resort is reached by jeep or CNG in roughly an hour. Its cottages and rooms look out over forested ridges that often fill with cloud in the monsoon and early winter.
Sairu is the closest thing to a destination resort in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, with a restaurant and pool so guests can stay put once they arrive, which appeals to honeymooners and nature lovers. Because of the distance, a meal-inclusive package makes sense, and it is worth asking whether jeep transfers are arranged. See Bandarban resorts and hotels for other options in the district.
The draw is the cloud-and-hills scenery. Check road and security advisories for the hill district before travel.
Mamata Palli Hotel & Resort, Zirabo
Zirabo in Ashulia, on Dhaka's northern edge near the Gazipur border, puts Mamata Palli within reach of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. It is one of several green resorts in this belt that serve Dhaka residents looking for a short break.
Couples and families use it as a one-night escape or a day trip, with a day package covering meals and pool access; ask exactly what that package includes. Traffic on the Ashulia road decides how far away it feels, so leave early on Fridays.
It is a quick break near the airport. Compare with resorts in Gazipur nearby.
Praasad Paradise Hotel & Resorts, Cox's Bazar
In Kolatoli, about 4 km from Cox's Bazar Airport, Praasad Paradise combines a hotel tower with family cottages and villas set in tree-lined grounds a short walk from the beach. Some rooms have balconies or terraces with bay views, and cottages sleep larger family groups.
The cottages make it a sensible choice for extended families and groups who want to stay together; ask about cottage capacity when booking. Room service runs around the clock. It is a value option, and packages typically cover the room and breakfast.
Big family groups should book cottages early for Eid.
Ratnodweep Resort, Pabna
Out in North Bengal, on the Dhaka to Pabna highway in Pabna Sadar, Ratnodweep sits in landscaped gardens with an outdoor pool. Resort-style properties are scarce in this part of the country.
It suits travellers visiting Pabna, the Hardinge Bridge and Lalon Shah Bridge area, or families from the region who want a weekend away without the long trip to the coast. Breakfast is included in many rates, but confirm it for yours.
As a base in north-west Bangladesh it does the job; confirm parking when booking.
Pebble Stone Resort & Restaurant, Cox's Bazar
Quiet Inani is the appeal of this small resort near Inani Beach, with gardens, outdoor dining and sea-view seating. It markets candlelight dinners and a calm, romantic atmosphere after dark, away from the crowds of Laboni and Kolatoli.
Couples and honeymooners on a budget like it for the setting and the evening atmosphere, and it is worth asking about the candlelight dinner packages. Facilities are simpler than at the big Inani resorts, so treat it as a place to sleep and eat well.
For a quiet Inani night it fits well. Bring cash, as card acceptance can be limited.
Neeshorgo Hotel & Resort, Cox's Bazar
Neeshorgo is an all-suite hotel set back inland, about 2 km from Kolatoli Beach. Suites include work desks, and upgraded units add living areas and balconies, some with themed Asian décor.
A rooftop restaurant, infinity pool, gym and pick-up service give it resort features at a hotel scale; ask about airport pick-up when you book. Its distance from the beach keeps it quieter than seafront properties, which suits couples and small families.
You trade beach access for space and quiet, so plan on a short ride to the sand.
Mawa Resort, Munshiganj
By the Padma River in the Mawa area of Munshiganj, near the old Mawa ferry point and now close to the Padma Bridge approach, this riverside resort offers everything from simple rooms to cottages for groups.
Dhaka families use it for day trips and Padma hilsa lunches, and a day-use package is the usual way to book. It is not a luxury resort, but it is one of the easiest river escapes from the capital.
As a river day trip from Dhaka it works well, provided you avoid the Eid travel rush on the expressway.
Cox Beach Resort, Cox's Bazar
Laboni Beach access is the selling point of this budget hotel, about a minute's drive from the main beach entry, with a 24-hour front desk and restaurant.
It suits budget travellers and small families who want to walk to the beach and eat in the town's restaurants. Expect a simple hotel with basic facilities, and ask whether breakfast is included.
Location wins over facilities here. Ask for a room away from the street.
Jalalpur Eco Resort, Kishoreganj
Roughly 90 to 110 km from Dhaka via the Dhaka to Sylhet highway and Bhairab, Jalalpur Eco Resort sits in Jalalpur Union of Katiadi upazila. It is a village-style haor eco stay on the edge of the Kishoreganj wetlands.
The resort sells day packages that include a boat trip on the haor with lunch, which is the main reason nature lovers and groups go. The haors are at their fullest in the monsoon and early autumn, when the wetlands become open water.
Monsoon haor scenery is the reward, so bring rain gear from June to September.
Himachol Resort, Sreemangal
Among the tea gardens of Radhanagar, outside Sreemangal town, Himachol is a small budget resort and a simpler alternative to the five-star tea-country properties.
It suits budget couples and families who plan to spend the day at Lawachara, the tea estates and the town's seven-layer tea stalls, and only need a quiet bed at night. Ask if meals can be arranged.
It is a cheap tea-country base; book a CNG for day trips through the resort.
Maui Resort, Cox's Bazar
Maui is a budget hotel in Cox's Bazar near the Marine Drive area.
It suits travellers who want a low-cost room and plan to spend the day on the beach and eating in town. Facilities are basic, so confirm the room type and AC.
If keeping costs low is the priority, read recent reviews before booking.
Cox's Bazar Surf Club
This beach stay in Cox's Bazar is tied to the town's small surf scene, and the gentler winter swell suits beginners.
Backpackers, surfers and couples who care more about beach time than resort facilities are the crowd here. Ask about surf lessons and board hire.
Waves are calmer from November to February, the window for beginner surf.
Divine Eco Resort, Cox's Bazar
Budget couples and solo travellers are the audience for this small eco-themed resort in the Cox's Bazar beach area.
It is a simple place to sleep close to the beach, without the pools or restaurants of the larger resorts, so ask about meals on site.
It keeps a beach trip low-cost. Confirm the exact location before booking.
Inani Royal Resort, Cox's Bazar
South of central Cox's Bazar, Inani Royal is a resort near Inani Beach on the Marine Drive.
The Inani area is calmer than the town beaches, with rocky shallows and fewer crowds. Resorts here suit couples and small families who are happy to stay put, so a meal package helps; ask what meals are included.
Expect quiet beach days, and hire a car for Himchari and Teknaf day trips.
Shamol Bangla Resort, Keraniganj
Across the Buriganga in Keraniganj, on Dhaka's rural southern outskirts, Shamol Bangla is used for day outings and group trips.
It works for families and office groups who want open space, boating and a meal without a long drive. Day packages are the norm, and groups should ask for group rates.
A short escape from Old Dhaka, as long as you avoid Friday afternoon traffic on the bridges.
Grand Palace Hotel & Resorts, Rangpur
On G L Roy Road in central Rangpur, this North Bengal city hotel belongs to the Grand Palace group and has multi-cuisine restaurants, a rooftop restaurant, gym and banquet facilities.
It is the most complete hotel option for business travellers and families visiting Rangpur, Tajhat Palace and the northern districts, and it handles weddings and corporate events, so ask about event and room packages.
To reach this Rangpur base, fly to Saidpur and save the long road trip.
Dhali's Amber Nivaas, Munshiganj
Luxury near Dhaka is the pitch at Dhali's Amber Nivaas, set in landscaped grounds at Sirajdikhan in Munshiganj, roughly an hour to an hour and a half from the capital depending on traffic, and known for its large swimming pool.
It sells day packages with entry, lunch and pool access as well as overnight couple packages, which makes it one of the closest things to an all-inclusive stay near the capital for couples, families and corporate groups. Ask for the current packages. See resorts near Dhaka for couples for similar options.
For a luxury day out from Dhaka, book weekends in advance.
Resort Atlantic Labiba Bilash, St. Martin's Island
Labiba Bilash is a simple, seasonal resort on St. Martin's Island, Bangladesh's only coral island, south of Teknaf in the Bay of Bengal, and it draws backpackers and nature lovers.
Island stays are tightly regulated. For the 2026 to 2027 season, approved ships run from Nuniachhara Ghat in Cox's Bazar, visitors need a travel pass and pay a Tk 100 environmental fee, and the average daily visitor limit is 3,500. The season runs from 1 November 2026 to 15 March 2027, and a revised government notification of 27 October 2026 allows overnight stays for the whole season. Electricity and mobile data on the island can be unreliable.
Ask the resort to confirm it is licensed for overnight guests this season, then book ship tickets and the room together.
Fu-Wang Dominous Resort, Cox's Bazar
Close to Laboni Beach in central Cox's Bazar, Fu-Wang Dominous is a mid-range value hotel a short walk from the main beach access.
It suits budget couples and small families who want the beach and the town's restaurants on foot. Facilities are those of a standard town hotel; ask for a sea-facing room.
Walking to the beach is easy, but expect busy surroundings in peak season.
How to reach the resorts from Dhaka: road, air and rail times
Almost every guest starts in Dhaka, and the transfer can take anything from under an hour to a full day. Dhaka's traffic is the biggest variable: leaving the city at dawn or late at night can save hours on the same route. The times below are typical journey times as of October 2026, from published timetables and travel reports; they do not include getting to the airport or station.
| Resort region | Resorts on this list | Fastest option | Typical time from Dhaka | Other options |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cox's Bazar and Inani | Sea Pearl, Ocean Paradise, Praasad Paradise, Pebble Stone, Inani Royal and others | Domestic flight to Cox's Bazar | About 1 hour by air, plus 30 to 50 minutes by road to Inani resorts on Marine Drive | Direct train (Cox's Bazar Express or Parjatak Express), about 8 to 8.5 hours; overnight AC bus |
| Sreemangal (Moulvibazar) | Grand Sultan Tea Resort, Himachol Resort | Intercity train (Parabat, Upaban or Kalni Express) | About 4 to 5 hours by train | Road, about 4 to 7 hours depending on traffic; flight to Sylhet and about 2 hours by road |
| Habiganj | The Palace Luxury Resort | Private car on the Dhaka-Sylhet highway | About 3 to 4 hours | Train to Shaistaganj, then a short drive |
| Bandarban | Sairu Hill Resort | Flight to Chattogram, then road | About 45 minutes by air plus 2.5 to 3 hours by road | Overnight bus direct to Bandarban; foreigners need Hill Tracts permission |
| Dhaka outskirts | Mamata Palli (Zirabo), Shamol Bangla (Keraniganj) | Private car | About 1 to 2 hours, mostly traffic | Easy day trips or a single night |
| Munshiganj and Mawa | Mawa Resort, Dhali's Amber Nivaas | Dhaka-Mawa Expressway | About 1 to 1.5 hours | Road via the expressway toward the Padma Bridge |
| Pabna | Ratnodweep Resort | Private car via the Bangabandhu (Jamuna) Bridge | About 4 to 5 hours | Intercity bus |
| Rangpur | Grand Palace Hotel | Flight to Saidpur, then road | About 1 hour by air plus about 1 hour by road | Intercity train or bus, 7 hours or more |
| Kishoreganj | Jalalpur Eco Resort | Private car | About 3 to 4 hours | Train to Kishoreganj, then local transport |
Book the transfer when you book the room. Many resorts in Cox's Bazar and Sreemangal arrange airport or station pickups, and some packages include them. Domestic flights to Cox's Bazar and Chattogram fill up quickly around the winter holidays and the Eid weekends, so buy tickets early. During the June to September monsoon, heavy rain can disrupt the Chattogram to Cox's Bazar rail line and hill roads, so leave a buffer day before an international flight home.
How to choose a resort in Bangladesh by region and budget
Choose the setting first. Cox's Bazar has the widest choice, from town hotels a short walk from Laboni Beach to large resorts on the quieter Inani stretch of the Marine Drive. The town suits travellers who want restaurants and shopping nearby; Inani suits those who plan to stay inside the resort. Sylhet division offers tea gardens, golf and cooler evenings, while Bandarban gives hill views at the cost of a longer, rougher trip.
For a short break, the belt around Dhaka (Ashulia, Gazipur, Munshiganj, Keraniganj) has resorts within one or two hours that sell day and overnight packages. These are often the closest thing to all-inclusive in the country, because the package includes meals and pool use by design. For a bigger trip, the five-star properties at Inani, Bahubal and Sreemangal give the most complete facilities. Compare more Bangladesh beach resorts if the coast is your priority.
Factor the journey into the budget. Inani lies roughly 23 to 25 km south of Cox's Bazar town along the Marine Drive, about a 30 to 40 minute drive, so resort transfers or taxis add up if you plan to eat in town. Sreemangal is about 190 km from Dhaka and the train takes around four hours, which makes it workable for a two-night stay.
Tips for booking a resort package in Bangladesh
Book a Bangladesh resort midweek if you can, because rates peak during Eid and on Fridays and Saturdays from November to February. Get the package in writing, since "package" can mean breakfast only at one resort and full board at another, and arrange your transfer in advance for long drives to Inani, Bandarban and Bahubal.
- Avoid Eid and winter weekends. Rates and occupancy peak during Eid holidays and on Fridays and Saturdays from November to February. Midweek stays are calmer and often cheaper.
- Get the package in writing. Ask exactly which meals, activities and transfers are included. "Package" can mean breakfast only at one resort and full board at another.
- Plan the transfer. Inani, Bandarban and Bahubal are long drives. Arrange a car or a resort pick-up in advance, especially for evening arrivals.
- Fly to save time. Domestic flights from Dhaka to Cox's Bazar and Sylhet cut a full day off the trip. Compare domestic flights before booking.
- Carry some cash. Larger resorts accept cards, but smaller ones and island stays often prefer cash or mobile payments such as bKash.
- Check the season. The monsoon from June to September brings heavy rain on the coast and in the hills but fills the haors. Winter is dry, cooler and busiest.
St. Martin's Island rules for 2026-27: Under the government's revised notification of 27 October 2026, St. Martin's Island is open to tourists from 1 November 2026 to 15 March 2027, with an average cap of 3,500 visitors a day and a Tk 100 environmental conservation fee per visitor. Overnight stays are allowed for the whole season. Every visitor needs online registration and a QR-code travel pass to buy a ship ticket, and approved ships sail only from the BIWTA jetty at Nuniachhara in Cox's Bazar.
