All Inclusive Holidays from Manchester to Croatia

Resort-based all inclusive stays suit travellers who want their meals, drinks and room under one roof and a short transfer at the start and end of the trip.

• Dubrovnik: Dubrovnik works well for an all inclusive base if you want a historic walled city close by. Resorts on the outskirts sit a short drive from the old town, which means you can enjoy a relaxed resort-based stay by day and walk the medieval streets in the evening. The trade-off is that the city is busy in peak summer, so we suggest choosing a resort with a pool and quieter terrace for the afternoons. Our view is that this combination gives the most value for travellers who want culture and comfort in the same holiday. Dubrovnik holidays are a popular choice for exactly this reason.
• Split: Split offers a lively city setting with a resort-style base along the coast, and travellers reach the centre by shuttle bus or taxi from the arrivals hall. Inclusive resorts here can sit close to the promenade, giving easy access to cafés and the ferry terminal for island day trips. The city is larger and noisier than the smaller towns, so it suits those who like a bit of energy. We recommend it for travellers who want an inclusive base with the option of exploring further afield.
• Brac island (Bol): Bol on Brac island is a beach resort reached by ferry from the mainland port city, and its pebble beaches shelve gently into the water. Families often choose this area because the shallow approach suits younger children and the resorts are set in a relaxed village atmosphere. The ferry adds time to the transfer, so you should factor that into your travel day, but the trade-off brings quieter evenings and a calmer pace. For couples seeking the same brief our Croatia Adults Only Holidays deals are built around, Bol still offers calm evenings, though its family-friendly inclusive stays are the real draw on this coast.
• Hvar: Hvar is known for sunshine, lavender fields and a historic harbour town, and inclusive resorts here appeal to couples and younger travellers looking for island nightlife. The island is reached by ferry from the mainland port, so the transfer is longer than a mainland resort but the reward is a dramatic harbour setting. Expect busier bars and higher demand in summer, which is worth weighing against the atmosphere. For a lively island base we consider Hvar holidays a strong choice.
• Istria (Rovinj and Porec): Rovinj on the Istrian coast combines a historic old town on a peninsula with inclusive resorts set along the sea. Travellers who enjoy food and wine find the region rewarding, and the local truffle and seafood dishes make a strong case for eating within the resort. Transfers from Manchester are a longer drive from the terminal than the Dalmatian resorts, so we advise checking the coach time carefully. For a quieter, food-led all inclusive holiday, Rovinj is hard to beat.
