As winter draws in, it’s normal to find ourselves yearning for a few days to slow down and recharge.
That’s the beauty of an all-inclusive break — no decisions, no meal planning, no stress. Everything is taken care of.
And while the Mediterranean has long been the go-to choice for budget-friendly escapes, this year, new European border rules could deter UK travellers from jetting overseas.
British passport holders have just become subject to the new Entry-Exit System (EES), a digital system replacing manual passport stamping at borders across the Schengen Area. This covers 29 countries – mainly in the EU – which people can travel across without border controls.
In the early days of the roll out, which will happen in stages until spring 2026, travellers have been warned to expect long queues.
But right here, across the UK, there are a wealth of resorts offering all-inclusive comforts — from family adventures to romantic sea views,there’s something for every traveller.
