So you want to book an all-inclusive vacation, but find the thought of spending all day on the beach boring? You’re not alone!
Try an all inclusive where the amenities, cuisine, and the cocktail list (and local arts &culture scene!) are more important than the coast.
Sun, sea and…sand?
The beach. That expanse of soft sand and azure blue ocean that is – for many of us – vacation nirvana. But what about those that HATE the beach? Are you a bit of a prickly pear when it comes to sun, sea and sand? Do you prefer to fake it, rather than bake it? If you really can’t stand the sand, can you still enjoy an all-inclusive vacation? The answer is a resounding YES. Tear yourself away from those ocean views, and let’s explore some urban all-inclusive resorts!

We have chosen some pretty stylish and hip all inclusive places to stay.
