Are you travelling abroad this summer? Have you been counting your pennies so that you can take your family away to the sun during the school break? If you are planning a last minute holiday with your children and budget is tight, like in so many households at the moment, then pause for a minute to consider all inclusive holiday packages.
What you get
With the all inclusive options, everything is paid for in advance: flight, hotel, activities and even includes your drinks and food! Fancy that, sitting by the pool or on the beach sipping cocktail after cocktail without having to worry about money? That’s one way to really relax on holidays. The all inclusive option gives you even more value for money when you have kids with you. Some are even aimed at families with kids. Keep them entertained with special activities for them, watched over with even the ice cream taken care of. No more kid running around causing havoc or feeling bored throughout.
Where to
All inclusive holidays are best chosen for destinations in tourist resorts. If you want to travel in the Andes or explore the wilderness of Canada, you probably won’t find anything! Here are a few prominent countries where you may get a variety of vacation packages.
Spain
Spain is the number one destination for holidays for the British. They all flock to sunny resorts in the south such as the Costa del Sol and the Costa Blanca. Towns such asMalaga,MarbellaandAlicanteare not popular without reason. Wait, that’s not all. Tired of mainland Spain? Been there already? Why not visit the Balearic Islands, including Majorca and Menorca? How about the Canary Islands: Tenerife, Lanzarote orLa Palma? Plenty of sun and beaches to keep the kids frolicking in the waves.
Mauritius
Would you prefer something more exotic perhaps? Mauritius is situated in the Indian Ocean some 10-12 hours away fromEuropeby plane. Once you get there, you can forget resorts overcrowded with British or German tourists but you’ll still find plenty of sun, sand and sea to keep you and the kids happy. Despite being far away and having fewer tourists, there are still plenty of all inclusive holidays to choose from. These can also make your life easy if you don’t know the local area very well and don’t know the best place to stay.
If you don’t like flying for so long, there are other top resorts closer to Europe. Turkey is a hugely popular destination for sun-seekers, especially when the Euro gets too strong. TryAntalyato get a bargain deal.Greeceand its islands are full of surprises. Rhodes, Corfu or Crete, which one will you pick? Don’t let their crumbling economy dampen your holiday spirit. The sun always shines there. Have you tried the most popular resort of Egypt yet: Sharm el Sheikh?
