Best All-Inclusive Holidays for Families 

These are the world’s best all-inclusive holidays for families: everything you could want on an escape without the need to lift a finger.

Looking for a stress-free getaway where everything’s taken care of – and the kids are having the time of their lives? These all-inclusive family holidays tick all the boxes: unlimited dining, free-flow drinks and enthralling kids’ clubs in the world’s most spectacular destinations, including Bali, the Maldives, Fiji and more.

The Naviti Resort, Fiji 

Set your watch to island time at this sprawling 38-acre slice of Coral Coast heaven. The fully-staffed kids’ club keeps the little ones entertained with Fijian crafts and beach adventures – free for two children under 12 – while the expansive lagoon-style pool, complete with a swim-up bar, keeps parents smiling. 

All-inclusive offerings are next level: get your food fix at Nukunuku’s oceanfront buffets (daily breakfast, lunch and themed dinners), and indulge with unlimited select drinks, flowing from morning till night. Also included in the all-inclusive package for adults is a sunset cruise, guided snorkelling trip through reef gardens and coral viewing cruise. 

Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives 

Be among the first to discover this pristine island escape, located just 40 minutes from Malé via included speedboat transfers. Water lovers (big and small) will revel in the resort’s aquatic playground, featuring a winding lazy river. Food fanatics, meanwhile, will go wild for the incredible dining options on offer in all-inclusive packages, from Acqua’s freshly netted seafood treasures to Suan Bua’s knockout Thai cuisine created by Iron Chef talents, all washed down with free-flow drinks.  

Mirage rooms are a dream come true for families. Two kids under 12 stay free with all the trimmings, plus the opportunity to attend the candy-themed kids’ spa, which caters specifically for those aged 10 and under. Don’t forget the kids’ club and games room, offering creative arts and crafts and playful learning adventures. 

Ayodya Resort Bali, Indonesia 

Surrender to paradise at Ayodya Resort Bali, the crown jewel of Nusa Dua, perfectly set on the immaculate shores of Mengiat Beach. While little ones lose themselves in the wonderland of the kids’ club, cultural shows and four shimmering pools, parents can drift into bliss with soul-soothing beachfront yoga, decadent spa experiences and handcrafted elixirs at the legendary Surfer’s Corner. 

Set sail on a culinary odyssey across seven dining venues – from Genji’s meticulously crafted Japanese masterpieces to the ocean-to-plate symphony at Ayodya Beach Club & Grill, all with bottomless drinks from dawn until dusk. Elevate your retreat with an endlessly replenished minibar, whimsical mini-golf pursuits or, for the ultimate indulgence, level up with privileged lounge status, massages and seamless airport transfers.

Tanjong Jara Resort, Malaysia

Kick back like royalty at this resort, where Malaysian palace charm meets beachfront bliss. Load up on the breakfast spread at Di Atas Sungei, savour lunch with your toes practically in the ocean at Nelayan, then feast again at dinner without touching your wallet. 

Families are well looked after too. Little ones will love the weekly Turtle Kids Club (from March to September), packed with hands-on, turtle-themed activities, while parents wind down with one hour of sunset drinks at Teratai Terrace. 

A proud member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the resort goes beyond great food and scenery. Adults can indulge with one included 50-minute rejuvenating spa treatment and daily stretch sessions, while the whole family can enjoy peaceful garden strolls, led by the in-house plant expert, and guided walks through Jara Hill.  

Maia Resort Quy Nhon, Vietnam 

Nestled in a coastal sweet spot between Nha Trang and Hoi An, Maia Resort Quy Nhon is an all-inclusive sanctuary where wellness rituals, culinary adventures and family memories intertwine. Greet the day with invigorating beachfront yoga or a refreshing plunge in your private villa pool before submitting to daily bliss at Vela Spa. Little ones will delight in discovering coastal treasures and visiting local hot spots on an included half-day excursion. 

Foodies are in for a treat: all-inclusive dining makes indulging easy. Tuck into Vi Restaurant’s farm-to-table Vietnamese masterpieces by day, then transition to sophisticated sundowners amid the gentle ocean breeze at the Pool Bar. Dive deeper into local gastronomy with hands-on cooking workshops that showcase the soul of Vietnamese flavours.
