Package Holidays Spain All Inclusive: Where and When to Go

On all inclusive holidays to Spain, the board basis normally takes care of your meals across the day, usually served buffet-style, along with locally produced drinks and snacks between meals. Imported spirits, premium brands and some à la carte restaurants are often charged as extras, so it is worth reading exactly what each hotel includes before you book.

The practical appeal is predictability. Once you have paid, there is little to budget for on the ground, which is why all inclusive breaks in Spain are popular with families and with anyone who would rather not count every round of drinks by the pool.

Spain all inclusive resorts are concentrated on the islands and the costas rather than in the cities. The Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands are where most UK package holidaymakers start their search, and both are island groups where a self-contained hotel with pools and restaurants makes good sense.

On the mainland, the Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol are the big package coasts. If you are after all inclusive in southern Spain, the Costa del Sol is the natural choice, and it puts Seville and Granada within reach for a day out if you fancy a break from the sunbed. Further north, the Costa Dorada and Costa Brava offer a different stretch of Mediterranean, with Barcelona on hand for a city day.

City breaks in Madrid, Valencia or Bilbao are a different kind of trip; all inclusive hotels in Spain are far more common on the coast.

School holidays are when family demand peaks, and package prices rise accordingly across every Spanish coast and island. If you are free to travel outside the summer, Easter and half-term weeks, you will generally find more choice for the same budget.

Conditions differ a good deal between the Canary Islands, the Balearics and the mainland costas, so check the weather for your chosen region on its own page before settling on dates.
