Why choose an All Inclusive holiday?
Leave your wallet at home and unwind knowing all the essentials are covered. From veggie-stuffed omelettes at breakfast to juicy burgers straight off the grill at lunch and hearty pasta dishes at dinner, you can find all sorts at an All Inclusive hotel. But most importantly, dessert is also free of charge! When you fancy something more luxurious than the main buffet, many hotels come with a la carte restaurants themed around your favourite countries, and they're often covered by your All Inclusive package too.
And while you’re baking under the sun, there’s bound to be a bar on standby ready to serve up your favourite drink. Whether your tipple is a refreshing Mojito, an ice-cold pint of local beer or fizzy pop, it’s usually covered in the price of your All Inclusive package holiday.
But it’s not all about food and drink (although we could argue that’s the best part). Activities and entertainment are also frequently part of the deal. Trust us, you won’t be able to resist aqua aerobics and the live shows. And as for family All Inclusive holidays, they tend to come equipped with action-packed kids' clubs and mini discos, some even featuring waterparks for added fun.

When it comes to what’s included in your All Inclusive holiday, it will vary from hotel to hotel. As standard, you can expect flights, accommodation, food (three meals a day plus snacks), as well as unlimited soft and local alcoholic drinks, usually for 12 hours a day. Most properties also offer free entertainment along with a choice of daily activities brought to you by their animation team. Family All Inclusive options will also benefit from a mini club. While 4 and 5 star stays tend to throw in some fancy extras, such as cocktails or branded spirits, a pillow menu, themed a la carte restaurants and watersports.
There are tons of wallet-friendly All Inclusive resorts to choose from, such as budget-friendly options in Turkey and Spain, including bargains in Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca. Antalya and Dalaman offer a slice of luxury for less, while the Greek islands have beachfront bliss covered. The Canary Islands are a premium choice for exotic year-round getaways. And for those who don’t mind travelling a little further afield should opt for Egypt or the Caribbean, both great picks for a cheap winter escape.
Full Board holidays included three meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner). There are no drinks or snacks included in the price of your holiday, so any drinks will incur a charge. However, some hotels may serve complimentary refreshments with your breakfast, such as tea, coffee and juice. If you don’t want to pay extra for drinks, we’d suggest opting for an All Inclusive holiday.
Some hotels offer an ultra All Inclusive programme with premium extras, such as 24-hour drinks. You may also benefit from a longer list of activities like archery and cooking classes. In terms of indulging, you can expect things like gourmet food from a line-up of a la carte restaurants, branded drinks and a fully stocked mini-bar in your room completely free of charge. Again, each programme will vary depending on your hotel.
Finding a cheap All Inclusive holiday is easy, as long as you’re flexible with your dates and destination. Try using our filtered search to see if things like departure airport make a difference to the overall cost of your trip. For those able to travel at short notice, a last-minute deal is another great way to keep the cost down. However, if you’ve got your heart set on a specific hotel or you’re travelling with more than one other person, it may be worth securing something a few months in advance.
