It has become increasingly popular to take a so-called all-inclusive trip to Spain. All-inclusive means that “everything is included”: flights, hotels, transfers to and from the airport, and above all food and drinks at the hotel. It is mainly Majorca and the Canary Islands, which have invested heavily in the concept.

So you can for relatively cheap money eat and drink as much as you want at the hotel for the whole week, and just enjoy being free and relaxing in the sun. Everything is included and you don't have to hunt for good restaurants and bars etc.

We believe that the all-inclusive concept itself will continue to be popular in the future, although there are of course many who still prefer to make the trip an adventure, and who think that half the point of discovering a new city or a new country is the hunt for good restaurants. However, all-inclusive is a completely wonderful alternative for the stressed family with children who would rather sit by the pool than hunt for places that sell ice cream…

Many times activities are also included in the all inclusive the price . If you are curious about trying this comfortable way to spend your holiday in Spain, we recommend Apollo, which has nice, albeit unnecessarily expensive, all inclusive hotels on Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Mallorca, among others. The largest selection of resort throughout Spain can be found at Hotels.com. It However, it almost always pays off It is advisable to avoid charter companies like Apollo and Ving and book flights and hotels separately.

By the way, did you know that nowadays it is possible to buy really cheap homes in both Mallorca and the Canary Islands (with 90 percent financing)? The reason is that during the crisis years, thousands of homes went to the bank, which is now selling them up to 75 percent cheaper. Read more about bank repossession here. 

Even if Canary Islands and Mallorca has the largest selection of all-inclusive trips right now, there will soon be more options on Costa Del Sol that you can book through Swedish tour operators. For example, if you want to really indulge, you can book in lovely Nerja via our sister sitenerja/ It is possible to add champagne, fruit baskets etc. as additional packages.
