What are All Inclusive holidays?

All Inclusive holidays bundle your flights, hotel, food, drinks, and sometimes activities into one price, making them one of the most straightforward ways to book a package holiday for UK travellers. They’re best understood in comparison:

  • Vs self-catering: less flexibility, but far less planning and more predictable costs
  • Vs full board: meals, drinks, and extras are typically included, so fewer add-ons


The choice comes down to travel style. If you like to plan as you go, it may feel a bit too structured. But if you want clear costs, minimal decisions, and a holiday that runs without much self-input, All Inclusive tends to be the most straightforward option.

Why choose an All Inclusive holiday?

If you want clear upfront costs, and a low-effort holiday, All Inclusive is one of the most reliable options. 

  • Better cost control: lock in 2027 prices early and avoid rising in-resort spend
  • Strong destination value: Turkey, Spain and Greece continue to offer competitive All Inclusive rates compared to paying locally 
  • Less to think about: meals, drinks and activities are covered, so you’re not constantly planning or spending 
  • Peak vs last minute: book early for school holidays; go last minute for off-peak bargains

What’s included in an All Inclusive holiday?

What’s actually included can vary depending on the hotel.
  • Always included: hotel stay, main meals (buffet or set dining), and a selection of drinks
  • Often included: flights, snacks, local alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and daytime activities (pools, gyms, entertainment)
  • Sometimes included: à la carte restaurants, premium drinks, water sports, kids’ clubs, and evening entertainment
  • Usually extra: premium spirits, spa treatments, excursions, anything off-resort

How to find cheap All Inclusive holidays

  • Pick value-led destinations: places like Turkey lead on price - Antalya All Inclusive holidays offer extensive packages with meals, drinks and resort facilities included
  • Check what’s included: Compare meals, snacks, drinks and hotel facilities, as premium drinks, specialty restaurants and some activities may cost extra 
  • Match the hotel to your budget: A simpler resort can be better value if you only want a pool, comfortable room and your meals covered. Families may benefit from complimentary kids’s clubs, waterparks and entertainment
  • Consider how you’ll spend your holiday: If you’ll stay at the resort, paying more for additional facilities may be worthwhile. If you plan to explore, a cheaper hotel with essentials may work better
  • Compare the total cost: A slightly more expensive package can offer better value if more food, drinks and activities are included

Last minute vs early booking All Inclusive holidays

If you want the best price and the right hotel, timing matters more than anything else.

  • Early booking: best for securing specific hotels and peak dates - this is where affordable All Inclusive holidays in Spain and Turkey tend to have the widest choice and more stable pricing 

  • Last minute: better for lower prices if you're flexible - Costa del Sol All Inclusive holidays often drop closer to departure when availability needs filling.

  • The balance: early means control and availability; last minute means value, but fewer options
