An all-inclusive Caribbean holiday can be anything you want it to be – from an adventure-packed journey around Jamaica, to a fairy tale hideaway in St Lucia. With its range of landscapes and geography, the Caribbean can be a million holidays in one.
Of course, a holiday to the Caribbean is a chance to indulge in as much of the local cuisine as possible. Each island has its national dish, from Sancocho from the Dominican Republic to Tobago’s Calaloo. Expect punchy flavours, liberal spice and plenty of character.
And let’s not forget the view. From the unforgettable beaches of St Kitts to the awe-inspiring Pitons in St Lucia, the Caribbean is a mixed bag of mountains, waterfalls, rivers, bays, lagoons and creeks – all guaranteed to mesmerise and inspire.
The Caribbean acts like a colourful mosaic of different islands to pick and choose from. From vibrant parrots to azure waters and blindingly white sandy beaches – this is a tropical destination that needs to be ticked off everyone’s bucket list.

Situated in Southeast Asia, Thailand is one country that never fails to captivate. If you’re planning on going long haul, you could do a lot worse that experiencing an all-inclusive holiday to Thailand in 2018.
From the hedonistic and spiritual Phuket to the family-friendly Koh Samui, this is a country with a myriad of beaches scattered across the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea.
Krabi is a collection of small islands and coastal resorts that’s popular with tourists. It features the legendary Railay Beach, made famous in movies The Beach, Star Wars: Episode III and the Hangover 2.
If you want to experience a beach resort where Thailand’s high society flock to, head to Hua Hin and Cha Am. Whilst Cha Am is more cheap and cheerful than its big brother, it provides a fun, laidback ambience which focuses on eating well, enjoying yourself and relaxing.
We’d recommend exploring Bangkok too, if you have the chance. With its temples, palaces and skyrise towers, this is a city that enthrals even the weariest of travellers.
Get ready for unforgettable sunsets, incredible food and the warmest of welcomes from the Land of Smiles.

If paradise was a place on Earth, we’d guess it would be somewhere in the Indian Ocean.
Four of our favourite places, the Maldives, the Seychelles, Sri Lanka and Mauritius are all found across the 73 million km2 that is the Indian Ocean.
Luxury all-inclusive resorts were created for islands like these - they provide the ultimate opportunity for indulgence and relaxation.
The Maldives provide an entire island per resort, so you have total exclusivity. The islands tend to be small, flat, and intimate – therefore a favourite amongst honeymooners. However, there are family-friendly resorts too, as well as wellness centres for solo travellers in search of a little R&R.
The Seychelles, on the other hand, are bigger, with more land to explore. There are still plenty of islands to choose from, more varied terrain – with mountainous regions as well as seductive coastlines - and Seychelles main island of Mahe also has cities, like its capital Victoria.
If you want an Indian Ocean all-inclusive holiday that promises history, heritage and heart-stopping sights, Sri Lanka is the destination for you. This island is a beach holiday, history trip, flora and fauna trail and a profound cultural experience all in one.
Another great pick is Mauritius, which not only has incredible beauty, but also the luxury all-inclusive resorts that make having a holiday here the blissful experience you deserve. Either relax in one of the many 4 and 5 star hotels on the island, or combine sitting back with taking part in a tour, trek or trip to a local attraction.

The UAE is famed for giving every visitor the wow-factor. Whether it’s the porcelain white temples or the towering sand dunes of the Arabian Desert, a trip here leaves you spellbound.
Dubai is the arguably the most famous Emirate, and whilst its reputation revolves around being the destination for celebrity holidays, there is more to this city in the sand than just massive shopping malls and Ferraris. Make sure you check out both the old and the new - the Old Town as well as incredible Burj Khalifa.
Abu Dhabi has the same approach to being bold and brash as Dubai, but also is proud of its Emirati heritage. You can experience this on walks through the harbour, the souks and well-preserved Heritage Village. It also has its fair share of eye boggling sights. Make sure you check out the Capital Gate building, which has a lean four times greater than that of the Tower of Pisa.
If you want somewhere a little more laidback, try an all-inclusive holiday to Ras Al Khaimah. This is the beach Emirate, where families and office workers go to at weekends and holidays. Famed for its incredible beaches, this gives neighbouring Oman a run for its money when it comes to jaw dropping scenery.
One thing you can be sure of is that an all-inclusive holiday to the Middle East will guarantee the sumptuousness needed for a well-earned break.
