Best All Inclusive hotels

There are All Inclusive hotels, then there are these ones… These picks have serious All Inclusive game – they go above and beyond in every way, from fancy facilities and extra activities to gourmet food options. So, here are the best hotels for levelling up your All Inclusive holidays… 

Best for fine-dining foodies 

Ikos Dassia, Corfu, Greece 

Ikos resorts are out here doing All Inclusive like it’s 2055, and this one in Corfu is no joke. If you’re the travel lover who plans your entire day around meals (same), Ikos Dassia is a bit of you. Can’t bear a buffet? You’re safe here – we’re talking seven à la carte restaurants serving up every kind of cuisine you can think of, from sushi to souvlaki – did we mention that the menus are crafted by actual Michelin-starred chefs? There’s Enoteca, a Mediterranean spot, then Kerkyra and Ouzo are all about Greek goodness. If it’s seafood you’re after, it doesn’t get fresher than Sea Flavors restaurant or pick Provence for French bistro vibes. Plus, all the restaurants and bars have a wine list that’s basically a book club for vino lovers, with over 300 labels to taste your way through. There are plenty of bars around the pools, but it doesn’t actually matter where they are, because waiter service to your lounger means you can order drinks without lifting a finger.  

The food-and-drink situation is the star here, but the chic pool scene, zen spa and incredible bay views are giving luxe, too. And, if you’re child free, the strictly adults-only pool areas, bars and restaurants will have you thinking you booked a no-kids-allowed stay. You’re welcome. 

Best for fussy eaters + midnight snackers 

Cullinan Belek, Turkey 

So, you’re usually put off All Inclusive because you get bored of the samey buffets… Enter, Cullinan Belek. Whether you’re a picky eater, a late-night snacker or you love trying something new at every meal, this Turkish hotel’s got you covered. There’s a bistro open 24/7 for round-the-clock food, a main buffet restaurant with six show-cooking stations and a section just for kids, plus a long list of à la cartes that take you all over. Think everything from Indian and Italian to Greek and Turkish. On top of that, there’s a patisserie, chocolatier and a speciality coffee place, as well as 19 bars for those All Inclusive cocktails. Good luck squeezing them all in…  

When you’re not eating or drinking, you’ve got options for days with the other facilities, too. This resort has a major 13 pools to pick from, including a big lagoon-style set up with in-water loungers, an adults-only one, and an aquapark which adults can also use, btw. Add in a massive private beach, a spa, and daily activities and entertainment… Boredom? We don’t know her. 

Best for activity lovers 

Arina Beach Resort, Crete, Greece 

Let’s be real – you think All Inclusive activities are just aqua aerobics and bingo… spoiler – you’re wrong. Arina Beach Resort’s giving school sports day, but make it luxe – for a bit of friendly competition, get involved in a beach volleyball match, tennis tournament or game of water polo (there’s nothing better than bumping into that guy you beat at the buffet). Or, if you prefer something more peaceful, there are also things like French boules, pilates and cocktail-making to try. Got little ones? There’s a hotel-run kids’ club where they can have fun and make friends while you check out the wellness centre’s spa and fitness area. It doesn’t stop at sundown, either – expect dancers, performances and musicians six nights a week, as well as beach parties with live music every evening. Or, if you’re ready to chill after packing in all the activities, the main bar’s outdoor terrace is the perfect spot for cocktails overlooking the Cretan Sea. 

Best for water babies 

Olympic Lagoon Resort, Paphos 

Calling all Cancers, Scorpios and Pisces… Olympic Lagoon Resort in Paphos was made for water signs. If you live for a swim, check out its five themed pools – the Mayan Temple Pool’s serving tropical realness with a sloping beach-like entry, waterfalls, whirlpools and an island with waterslides. Then, there’s the lazy-river-style Blue Lagoon pool for a more laidback swim, and the adults-only Serenity Oasis ft. whirlpools, sensory jets, in-water massage loungers and a swim-up bar – basically a whole spa in a pool. Kids get their own pool areas and mini slides, so you can easily swerve the screaming and splashing. And, because five outdoor pools aren’t enough, there’s also an indoor spot if you feel like a break from the sunshine, and the Serenity Spa and Health Club’s also right there for a self-care sesh. If you prefer sea swims, the resort’s beachfront postcode puts you on a beaut Blue Flag sweep, so you can hop between the pools and the sand all day long.
