Why choose Italy for All Inclusive?

Italy’s All Inclusive holidays range from large family resorts with waterparks and kids’ clubs to Adults Only hotels and smaller beachfront stays. Many hotels sit close to historic towns and local restaurants, with beaches that vary from long stretches of sand to shingle coves, so you can mix beach days with time exploring nearby towns. Flights from the UK take roughly 2.5 to 3.5 hours, varying by region, and the main All Inclusive season runs from May to October.

Best Italy regions for All Inclusive

Sicily

Best for: Families, couples and first-time All Inclusive holidays

Most of Italy’s All Inclusive holidays are based in Sicily, particularly around Cefalù and the Ionian coast near Taormina. Large beachfront resorts sit alongside smaller hotels, with sand and shingle beaches and Mount Etna close enough for a day trip. The island has the widest hotel choice of any Italian region, from big family-focused complexes with waterparks to quieter Adults-only stays. Local markets, granita and street food are part of daily life here, so there's plenty to explore beyond the resort gates on a Sicily All Inclusive holiday. Fly into Catania for the east coast or Palermo for the north.

Sardinia

Best for: Beach holidays, couples and families

Sardinia is home to some of the Mediterranean’s clearest water and whitest beaches, particularly near Alghero and the Costa Smeralda. Our Sardinia All Inclusive holidays range is smaller than Sicily’s and generally includes more polished resorts, many set directly on the coast with their own stretch of sand. Inland, hills and cork forests give way to fishing villages that make for an easy half-day out from the pool. For airports, Olbia serves the north of the island, Cagliari the south and Alghero the northwest.

Calabria

Best for: Value and quieter beach holidays

Our Calabria All Inclusive holidays are centred along the Tyrrhenian coast near Tropea, where colourful clifftop towns overlook long beaches. There are fewer large resorts here than in Sicily or Sardinia, so hotels tend to feel smaller and more low-key, with a slower pace than Italy's busier holiday areas. The coastline is dotted with fishing harbours and roadside stalls selling local produce, giving the region a genuinely local feel. Lamezia Terme is the nearest airport.

Puglia (Salento)

Best for: Couples and families who like to explore

Salento pairs beach resorts with historic towns and traditional masserie, converted farmhouses that are typical of the area. Beaches here range from sheltered coves with clear, shallow water to longer sandy stretches further down the coast. The All Inclusive hotel range is smaller than in Sicily or Sardinia, making it a good fit if you’d like to see more of the local area. Fly into Brindisi for the Salento coast.
