Seville All Inclusive Holidays: What to Expect and When to Go

On an all-inclusive board basis you can generally expect breakfast, lunch and dinner, local drinks such as house wine, beer and soft drinks, and snacks between meals, all included in the price you pay before you travel. Imported spirits, premium wines and à la carte dining are often charged extra, so read the board description of each offer carefully.

In a city like this, it pays to be realistic. An all inclusive Seville Spain stay suits travellers who want to know the evening meal is sorted after a long day at the Alcázares, but you may find yourself eating out in the old town anyway. Half board or bed and breakfast can make more sense if you plan to spend most of your time exploring, so compare the board options side by side before you commit.

Seville is a city rather than a beach resort, and you will not find the sprawling resort complexes of the costas here. Searches for all inclusive resorts Seville Spain mostly lead to city hotels with a board option, so think about location first. Central Sevilla puts you within roughly a mile of the Cathedral, the Reales Alcázares, Casa de Pilatos, Palacio de las Dueñas and the Plaza de toros de la Maestranza.

Across the river, Camas lies about 4 miles from the centre and is home to Isla Mágica, the city's theme park, as well as the old Monasterio de la Cartuja, which makes it worth a look for families. Santiponce, around 5 miles out, is the town beside Italica, the ancient Roman city with its amphitheatre; it is quieter and better suited to a day trip than to a base for a whole holiday.

The best months are April, May and October. April averages highs of 23°C and May 29°C, with only a handful of wet days, while October still reaches 27°C, though it is one of the rainier months at around 87mm. These are the months when walking between palaces and museums is a pleasure rather than a test of endurance.

July and August are another matter: average highs hit 37°C and it barely rains at all. That is the time when an all-inclusive hotel with a pool earns its keep, but plan sightseeing for early morning. Winter, from November to March, is mild at 16 to 21°C by day and cool at night, with March the wettest month of the early year; it suits a city break more than a sunshine holiday.

Most British travellers book Seville all inclusive holidays as a package, with flights, hotel and transfers in one booking. On this page you can compare live deals from Jet2holidays, TUI, loveholidays and On the Beach, then check hotel prices, tours and tickets, or car hire separately if you prefer to build your own trip.

Fly into Seville if you can: the transfer to the centre is about 7 minutes, 11 to Camas and 12 to Santiponce. Jerez is the alternative airport, around 63 minutes by road. Families should note that UK school holidays push up package prices generally, so if you are free in late May or October half-term you will get the better weather too. For children, Isla Mágica in Camas is the obvious day out, and a pool matters far more in midsummer heat.
