All-inclusive beach holidays

There's something extra special about winter sun beach holidays. While northern Europe shivers in rain, wind and snow, you can be enjoying tropical wrap-around warmth on a sunny tropical island. If you dream of barefoot holidays in an enchanting paradise you should check out our long haul all-inclusive beach holidays for winter sun. The Caribbean has year-round tropical temperatures ranging from 27-31°C (80-89°F) and even the water maintains a balmy 27°C (81°F). Where better to relax in the sun, dive into the pool or enjoy a range of water sports on calm blue waters? Why not plan the winter holiday you and your loved ones deserve with an all-inclusive beach holiday to the Bahamas, the Maldives, Florida, Mexico or Bali? Holidays are proven to lower stress, enhance relationships, improve general health and give you a healthy dose of vitamin D from the sun. It definitely gives pause for thought!

Holidays are traditionally enjoyed in the summer months when most people head for the beach. Those wanting a short-haul flight to guaranteed sunshine will find all-inclusive beach holidays close to home in France, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Sicily, Corsica and Portugal. Further afield we have a host of top beach resorts in Thailand, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Morocco, Mexico and Florida. Our all-inclusive beach holidays offer far more than beautiful sandy beaches and safe waters for swimming (although we have those too!). We have exclusive resort facilities, comfortable rooms, incredible chef-prepared cuisine and an unrivalled array of activities for all ages and interests. Children from 4 months to 17 years have their own supervised fun with Kid's Clubs run by a team of dedicated GOs who offer fun crafts, drama, sports, nature trails, films, and beach games. Youngsters over the age of 8 even get the chance to try a new sport such as stand-up paddleboarding, horseriding or the flying trapeze!

All-inclusive beach holidays for families make good sense. It's important to enjoy every precious moment together, strengthening relationships by doing fun activities as a family. You can even include grandparents, who can have their own independent accommodation but join in family meals and activities. Everyone will have plenty to talk about each evening and you'll take home plenty of photographs and precious memories of the quality time spent together. Parents can relax knowing their children are happy and safe in one of the Kid's Clubs. Youngsters love our educational activities, crafts, cookery classes, team games, treasure hunts and discovery sessions. Even teenagers' eyes light up at the idea of Passworld where they can hang out with GOs in a specially designed area. Activities include DJ mixing, video games, film-making and fun watersports while making new friends. Knowing that the children are happy allows parents to relax and enjoy the holiday too while the Pyjama Club takes care of babysitting.

Couples have different requirements from families for their dream holidays and we have plenty of all-inclusive beach holidays to cater for them too. Discerning couples will appreciate the well-appointed rooms with spa-like bathrooms and stunning ocean views from the balcony or terrace. Zen Zones and adults-only resorts provide the peace and tranquillity that many couples prefer. Young adults will appreciate the chance to try all types of new watersports and adrenalin-pumping activities as part of their fabulous beach holiday. Spend the day out on the water sailing a catamaran, swimming in the clear Aegean Sea, jumping the waves on a kite board in Punta Cana or mastering the art of windsurfing in Bali with your GO instructor. It's the opportunity of a lifetime as you say "yes" to everything, from golf and tennis to horse-riding and flying trapeze lessons. Although most activities are free to participate in, some private tuition, spa treatments and specialised courses incur an extra cost.
