AS a travel expert at one of the UK’s biggest travel companies, I spend a ridiculous amount of time staring at holiday prices.
Not because I have a weird fetish for spreadsheets (trust me, I don’t), because if you dig deep enough into the , you can spot exactly when everyone is about to pile into a destination. And, more importantly, where the cheap are hiding before the rest of Britain catches on.

For 2026, a few spots keep flashing up on my radar for one massive reason: they’re offering proper, old-school all-inclusive value.
Some are old , others are probably completely off your map.
But they’re all delivering serious right now.
Here are the seven at the top of my list.
Cabo Blanco, Majorca, Spain
isn’t exactly a secret, but Cabo Blanco is about as close as you’ll get to an undiscovered value goldmine.
While the masses fight for sunbeds in the bigger , this quieter stretch of coast serves up rugged cliffs, proper crystal-clear water, and the kind of sea views that justify doing absolutely nothing from your balcony for a week straight.
You get all the perks of in the short flight and guaranteed sun, but skip the eye-watering price tag of the flashier spots.
I found a five-night all-inclusive stay at Sun Club El Dorado for £325pp in August.
It’s perched right on the edge of the , has more pools than you’ll know what to do with, and is basically built for elite-level lounging.
Marrakech, Morocco

probably isn’t the first place you think of when someone says “all-inclusive,” which is exactly why it’s a brilliant shout: it breaks the monotony of the standard fly-and-flop.
You can be haggling in a centuries-old souk in the afternoon, and back at the resort by dark, nursing a drink by the with the Atlas Mountains in the background. It beats swapping one European beach for another.
Case in point: a five-night all-inclusive stint at Marrakech Ryads Parc & Spa is coming in at £373pp this summer.
It’s one of my top picks because it nails the balance – you can dive headfirst into the chaos of the by day, then retreat to a massive, quiet resort to completely switch off.
Sidari, Corfu, Greece

has quietly morphed into one of the best-value Greek islands, and Sidari is where the real bargains are hiding.
It’s a bit of an all-rounder – it handles , couples, and groups without feeling like a chaotic free-for-all.
Plus, you’ve got the right there to give it a bit of natural character.
Looking at the peak summer hols, I found a deal for a five-night all-inclusive stay at Panorama Sidari Village from £398pp this August.
The selling point here is definitely the location: it’s perched on a hillside overlooking the coast, so you get the top-tier views without being stranded miles away from the centre.
Gumusluk, Bodrum, Turkey

’s reputation for budget-friendly all-inclusives is well established, but for me, Gumusluk is still criminally underrated.
Unlike the down the road, this place has a proper slow pace.
The waterfront is lined with seafood , the sunsets are top-tier, and the vibe here is completely relaxed.
I found five nights all-inclusive at Golden Age Crystal Bodrum for £395pp right in the school holidays.
The hotel is a cracking little base because it puts you near the side of Bodrum most tourists miss – laid-back beach clubs and evening strolls – without forcing you to pay the premium rates of the flashier nearby.
Mahdia, Tunisia
Nour Palace Resort in Mahdia, Tunisia, offers five night all-inclusive stays from £388pp in August Credit: On the Beach
If you want the absolute maximum amount of sunshine per pound spent, should always be on your radar.
is easily one of the country’s best-kept secrets, pairing massive white beaches with a calm, old fishing port vibe. It feels authentic, rather than a purpose-built tourist bubble.
I did some digging and found five nights all-inclusive at the Nour Palace Resort for £388pp this August.
It sits right on the sand and boasts one of the biggest pool setups on this entire list. If you just want to park yourself by the water and forget reality, this is the one.
Agadir, Morocco
El Pueblo Tamlelt in Agadir, Morocco, is the cheapest on the list at £288pp for five nights Credit: supplied
has been quietly banking reliable, budget sun holidays for years.
The is a safe bet, the beach goes on forever, and the whole place is set up to make your life easy.
It’s one of those rare spots where you can do absolutely nothing for a week and actually feel like you’ve escaped.
The price on this one is borderline ridiculous too: a five-night all-inclusive stay at El Pueblo Tamlelt for £228pp.
It’s exactly what a budget should be – huge pools, loads going on, and a price tag that makes you double-check you didn’t accidentally miss a zero off the end.
Ovacik, Turkey

If you want the full package – , nightlife, mountain backdrops, and change left over from a grand – Ovacik is tough to beat.
It sits just above the famous Blue Lagoon at , giving you easy access to Turkey’s best coastline while being a cheap taxi ride away from the bars in Hisaronu.
Because it’s up in the hills, it stays a touch cooler and greener than the coastal strip, which is a massive win in .
I spotted a five-night stay at Sunshine Holiday Resort Hotel from £388pp this August.
It perfectly highlights why this area works so well for families: you get a , proper mountain views, and more than enough entertainment to keep kids quiet without ever needing to leave the complex. Job done.
