10 all-inclusive weekend holidays abroad that are cheaper than a night out with mates in the UK
IF your typical weekend involves a night out, a takeaway and somehow spending more than you planned… this might annoy you a bit.
Because right now, it’s officially cheaper to fly abroad for the weekend than it is to stay in the UK.
I know – it sounds ridiculous. But the numbers back it up.
The average Brit is spending around £127 each on a weekend at home. Meanwhile, I’m seeing full package holidays – flights, hotel, food and drink included – coming in from roughly £80 per person, per night.
And that’s exactly what’s driving one of the fastest-growing travel trends I’ve seen in years.
It’s called an All-Inclusive Weekender – and bookings for them have doubled in the last year alone.

And the idea’s simple. You finish work on Friday, head straight to the airport, and by that evening you’re poolside with a drink in hand.
Saturday is a full day of sunshine, food and doing absolutely nothing. Then Sunday you squeeze in one last breakfast and a dip before flying home – back in time for work on Monday.
And once you see the prices, it makes total sense why people are doing it.
So I’ve gone through the latest data and pulled together 10 of the best all-inclusive weekenders you can book right now – the kind where you’ll spend less than you would at home… but get a full holiday out of it.
BLUESEA Gran Playa, Majorca – £87.50pp per night
2 nights all-inclusive at the 3* BLUESEA Gran Playa, flying from Birmingham on Friday 15 May – Sunday 17 May 2026.
This is your classic Majorca weekender setup – short flight, quick transfer, and straight into pool-and-pint mode by Friday evening.
The hotel itself keeps things simple but does the job well with a big pool, solid all-inclusive offering, and walking distance to the beach.
Works out at just £87.50pp per night for flights, hotel, food and drinks included.
Oceanis Park Hotel, Rhodes – £85pp per night
2 nights all-inclusive at the 4* Oceanis Park Hotel, flying from London Gatwick on Friday 17 April – Sunday 19 April 2026.
Rhodes is one of those places that just works for a quick hit of sun – reliable weather, short transfer, no faff.
This hotel feels a bit more premium than the price suggests too, with a modern finish, great pool setup, and strong food options for a short stay.
£85pp per night for a full all-inclusive weekend is borderline ridiculous.
SMY Isla Cristina, Costa de la Luz – £110pp per night
2 nights all-inclusive at the 4* SMY Isla Cristina, flying from Bournemouth on Friday 17 April – Sunday 19 April 2026.
This one’s a bit more under-the-radar – Costa de la Luz instead of the usual Costa del Sol crowds.
The hotel’s a proper relaxed beachfront setup with loads of space, big pools and a quieter vibe – ideal if you want a chilled weekend rather than chaos.
£110pp per night all-in feels very fair for somewhere this peaceful.
Mare Garden, Crete – £92.50pp per night
2 nights all-inclusive at the 4* Mare Garden, flying from Manchester on Friday 17 April – Sunday 19 April 2026.
Crete is always a safe bet with loads of flight options, good weather early in the season, and proper all-inclusive value.
The hotel’s got a clean, modern feel with beachfront access and plenty of space to just switch off for 48 hours.
£92.50pp per night for Crete, all-in, is exactly why this trend is taking off.
Occidental Cala Viñas, Majorca – £105pp per night
2 nights all-inclusive at the 4* Occidental Cala Viñas, flying from Liverpool on Friday 8 May – Sunday 10 May 2026.
This is where the weekender starts to feel a bit more “treat yourself”.
It’s tucked into its own little cove, so you get that slightly more premium, secluded feel without paying five-star prices.
£105pp per night for that setup, all-inclusive, is still cheaper than most UK weekends.
Panorama Sidari Village, Corfu – £115pp per night
2 nights all-inclusive at the 3* Panorama Sidari Village, flying from Manchester on Friday 8 May – Sunday 10 May 2026.
Corfu is one of the easiest Greek islands to dip into for a quick break because there’s loads of flights at all hours of the day and everything there is close together.
This hotel’s more laid-back and spacious, set slightly up in the hills with great views and a proper relaxed atmosphere.
£115pp per night gets you sunshine, food, drinks and a full switch-off.
BLUESEA Club Marthas, Majorca – £82.50pp per night
2 nights all-inclusive at the 3* BLUESEA Club Marthas, flying from Manchester on Friday 8 May – Sunday 10 May 2026
One of the cheapest on the list and this is exactly what you want for a quick getaway.
Multiple pools, loads of space, and a no-frills all-inclusive setup that lets you just get stuck in from the moment you arrive.
£82.50pp per night is much cheaper than a big night out at home.
Hotel Vibra Riviera, Ibiza – £95pp per night
2 nights all-inclusive at the 3* Hotel Vibra Riviera, flying from London Luton on Friday 15 May – Sunday 17 May 2026.
Ibiza but it’s affordable and irresistible?
This is on the quieter side of the island, so you get the sunshine and scenery without feeling like you’ve accidentally booked into a club.
Great pool, sea views, and a solid all-inclusive setup for a short stay.
£95pp per night for Ibiza is doing an all-inclusive weekender properly.
Grand Muthu Golf Plaza Hotel & Spa, Tenerife – £90pp per night
2 nights all-inclusive at the 4* Grand Muthu Golf Plaza, flying from Liverpool on Friday 15 May – Sunday 17 May 2026.
Tenerife is one of the most reliable weekenders full stop, with sunshine pretty much guaranteed every week of the year.
And this hotel leans into the resort feel – big pool, spa, loads of space – ideal if you just want to park yourself somewhere warm and not move.
£90pp per night all-in for Tenerife is hard to argue with.
Filion Suites Resort & Spa, Crete – £80pp per night
2 nights all-inclusive at the 5* Filion Suites Resort & Spa, flying from London Luton on Friday 15 May – Sunday 17 May 2026.
This is the one that almost feels wrong.
A 5* all-inclusive in Crete, with proper resort facilities like multiple pools, a luxury spa and big spacious rooms – all for less than a night on the town.
It’s slightly more tucked away, but for a weekend, that just means peace and quiet.
£80pp per night for 5* all-inclusive is about as good as it gets.
