All Inclusive long-haul holidays
Long-haul All Inclusive holidays can make budgeting for a bigger trip simpler, with meals, drinks and often snacks included in the cost. Mexico and the Caribbean have lots of resorts on this basis, including family hotels with kids’ clubs and larger pools, plus adults-only hotels for couples. All Inclusive long-haul holidays also cut down on decisions once you’re there – handy when you’re staying for a week or two and would rather spend less time thinking about where to eat.
Family long-haul holidays
Taking children long-haul can mean a longer flight, but you get a very different holiday at the other end. Florida has resorts geared towards family stays, and Mexico pairs days at the beach with resort-style stays where you can spend a whole day at your hotel without the need to head out. The practical details matter too: direct flights, transfer times, kids’ clubs and family rooms can make a real difference, particularly when you’re away for a week or two.
Luxury long-haul holidays
Long-haul is where some of the more special hotel experiences come into their own. In the Maldives, you can stay on a private island with the sea just outside your room. Dubai has five-star hotels with pools and beach access, and Mauritius has beachfront resorts with towns and mountains to explore beyond the hotel. A higher-end trip doesn’t mean staying behind the hotel gates either. Think about what you’ll actually use – a private pool, spa, upgraded room or a more inclusive board basis – before paying extra for it.
