All Inclusive Valencia Spain: Resorts, Weather and Booking Tips

City · Spain

Booking all inclusive in Valencia, Spain, is a slightly different proposition from a classic beach-resort fortnight, and it is worth knowing why before you pay. Valencia is first a city of more than 800,000 people, with a Gothic cathedral, the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences and a seafront of its own. Around it sit the coastal neighbours of Alboraya and La Pobla de Farnals. Valencia airport takes direct flights from the United Kingdom and lies only 8 minutes by road from the city, so transfers are short. Summer brings highs of 31°C in July and August, while May and October stay warm at around 24°C. Below you can compare live package deals with meals and drinks included.

What all inclusive usually covers

An all-inclusive board basis generally bundles your meals, usually buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner, with locally produced drinks such as house wine, beer, soft drinks and spirits, plus snacks between meals. Imported brands, premium wines and à la carte restaurants are often extra, and the exact list varies from hotel to hotel, so read the board description on each deal before you book.

In a city like Valencia, the real question is how much you will actually eat in. With the cathedral, the Museu de Belles Arts and the old palaces all within about a mile of the centre, many travellers spend the day out and about. Valencia all inclusive works best if you plan long pool or beach days and want the bill settled in advance; if you intend to explore every evening, half board may suit you better.

Where to base yourself

Valencia city itself is the obvious base: it is coastal, holds almost all of the area's major sights and sits 8 minutes from the airport. Larger hotels here tend to be city hotels rather than sprawling resorts, so if you are searching for an all inclusive hotel in Valencia, Spain, expect a city-break feel with the beach close by rather than a self-contained complex.

For something closer to the sand, look at the coastal neighbours. Alboraya lies about 2.5 miles from the centre and roughly 10 minutes from the airport, a sensible compromise between beach time and city visits. La Pobla de Farnals, around 8 miles up the coast, is the quieter option and the more likely place to find a resort-style stay. Inland Manises sits right beside the airport and Catarroja about 5 miles south, both handy for short stays but without a beach on the doorstep.

The best months are May, June, July, August and October. May brings highs of 24°C with around four rain days, June climbs to 28°C, and July and August peak at 31°C with nights that stay near 22°C. That heat is exactly when an all-inclusive pool day makes most sense.

September is still warm at 28°C but is the wettest month on record here, with 84mm across about eight days, so it counts as shoulder season. October settles back to 24°C with fewer rain days. Winter is mild rather than hot, with highs of 16 to 17°C from December to February, better suited to sightseeing than sunbathing.

Booking your package from the UK

Most all inclusive holidays to Valencia, Spain, are sold as packages: the flight, the hotel on an all-inclusive board basis and often the airport transfer in one booking. Valencia airport has direct flights from the United Kingdom, and transfers are among the shortest in Spain: around 8 minutes to the city, 10 to Alboraya and 11 to Catarroja. This page shows live all inclusive Valencia holidays from Jet2holidays, TUI, loveholidays and On the Beach, so you can compare them side by side.

Families should note that school-holiday weeks in July and August are the most sought-after, and prices generally rise accordingly; May, June and October can offer good weather with less pressure on dates. Check whether the board includes snacks and drinks for children, and whether the hotel is near L'Oceanogràfic or the Museu de les Ciències if those are on your list. You can also compare hotel prices, tours and tickets, and car hire here if you prefer to build your own trip.
