All Inclusive Holidays

Looking for a romantic retreat or giggles with a group on a stag, hen or clubbing holiday? Adults only plus all inclusive is a winning combo. Without school holiday date constraints, you can catch the sun as late as September or October at off-peak prices.

• Spain and its islands: Stick to the ever-popular cities and beaches of the Spanish mainland, go from cathedrals to coast in culturally unique Majorca or soak up the glorious subtropical climate and national parks in Canary Islands like Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Lanzarote.
• Greece and its islands: Want to explore Greece’s ancient ruins, pine forests, secluded coves and sophisticated resorts without the kids? Opt for an adults only holiday package at a beachfront hotel where you don’t have to lift a finger.
• Cyprus: Cyprus has heaps of Mediterranean allure, pristine beaches, archaeological wonders and vibrant nightlife in cities like Ayia Napa. Go from tanning to the taverna and from beach to sleep in no time with everything you need on your doorstep.
• Portugal: If you’re seeking some tranquil adults only time, the golden cliffs and coast of the Algarve might be for you. Meanwhile, rich historical charm and fantastic wine await in Lisbon and Porto. Either way, you might want to give Portugal a go.
• Croatia: Croatia brims with serene beauty along the Adriatic Sea, historic cities like Dubrovnik and Split and a diverse culinary offering featuring fresh seafood and tasty regional specialties. Have your fill with an adults only all inclusive.

Want to bring the whole gang along on your next all inclusive getaway? No problem. There are plenty of reasons why this holiday type is popular with families. Here are just a few full-package highlights to keep your eyes peeled for:

• Activities for all ages: Most all inclusive hotels have a host of activities you can enjoy on-site. From water aerobics to yoga on the beach, activity programmes are jam-packed with fun regardless of how old (or young) you are.
• Hassle-free mealtimes: Meals can be tricky when you’re travelling as a family, but going all inclusive gives you plenty of choice without even leaving the hotel. Start with the international buffet and work up to local specialty restaurants once the little ones are acclimatised. Don’t forget unlimited ice creams in between.
• Babysitting, kids’ clubs and teen zones: Check your hotel’s facilities and services before you book if you think you’ll benefit from babysitting or a supervised kids’ or teens’ club. While younger guests get to play in an age-appropriate setting, adults can enjoy some peace and quiet – it’s a win-win!
• Kids’ pools: For many families, splashing around in the pool is key to the perfect holiday. Grab your inflatables and pull up a lounger at a resort pool dedicated for kids and parents who love to swim. Some hotels even have their own waterparks.
• Family rooms and suites: A stress-free holiday begins with having a base with enough space to make you all comfortable. Book a large suite, a connecting room or even an independent villa with a private pool and garden.

If you reckon the perfect all inclusive can only exist if it's on the beach, start with our top picks. These sandy stretches are scenic and just a stone’s throw from amazing all inclusive resorts:

• Antalya, Turkey: Set among the stunning landscape and traditional villages of the Turquoise Coast, Antalya’s warm waters and sunshine make it ideal for beachfront resorts and hotels. Titanic Beach commands its own private stretch of Lara Beach.
• Hurghada, Egypt: Situated on Egypt’s Red Sea coast, Hurghada offers a range of beachfront resorts with great opportunities for snorkelling and scuba diving. The Jasmine Palace Resort has 6 bars where you can keep your cocktail topped up with a sea view.
• Punta Cana, Dominican Republic: Punta Cana is perfect for water sports like snorkelling, scuba diving and parasailing. Check out the all inclusive hotels on Bavaro Beach to make the most of the crystal-clear Caribbean waters.
• Mellieha, Malta: Malta’s Mellieha is home to a shallow, gradual bay perfect for all ages and it offers a lot of fun water sports. The db Seabank Resort & Spa is right on the sand.
• Costa del Sol, Spain: If you’re seeking winter sun or summer fun in Europe, the wide stretches of Benidorm, Malaga and Marbella make for an easy escape. Skip the long haul flights and head to a beach resort on the Costa del Sol.

Does your idea of the ideal activity holiday involve wetsuit-clad, wave-riding sports or rolling over desert dunes? Soothing spa treatments or sunset yoga? These are just some of the experiences available on an all inclusive activity holiday:

• Games and water sports: Pick a beachfront all inclusive and dive into the thrill of water sports or – if you’d rather stay dry – hit the gym or sports courts. Your hotel might also cater to more adventurous moods with things like horseback riding and archery.
• Classes: If you’d like to learn something new on your holiday, see if your all inclusive programme features classes. From cooking classes to language lessons and yoga sessions, there are plenty out there to choose from.
• Spa sessions: If you want somewhere to soak after a day of adrenaline-fuelled pursuits, choose a resort with a serene wellness centre. Most resorts will grant you access to the facilities as part of your package and some even throw in free treatments.
• Evening entertainment: With all inclusive resorts, the entertainment doesn’t stop just because the sun has set. Settle in for an evening of bingo, karaoke, live music and dance performances – all included in your holiday package.
• Extra excursions: Again, it’s important to check what’s covered at the specific hotel you’ve chosen. Some all inclusive packages will cover a selection of day trips or boat tours away from the hotel, and others you might need to pay an extra fee.
