A guide to all-inclusive weekend breaks in the UK

If you’re seeking all-inclusive weekend breaks in the UK, a spa hotel can provide a wonderful alternative to consider. In this guide, we take a look at some of our favourite spa breaks that feature lots of great inclusions to help you find the perfect weekend package.

Spa break vs all-inclusive break

While all-inclusive breaks usually include accommodation and all meals and drinks, overnight spa breaks are a little different. In addition to accommodation and selected dining options, you can enjoy full or limited access to the spa’s leisure facilities and, usually, one or more relaxing treatments. The big advantage of this is that you can select a break to suit your needs, rather than pay for inclusions you may not use. For example, you might want a city base to combine spa relaxation with shopping and sightseeing. Alternatively, you might want unlimited access to the leisure facilities. Here is just a sample of what’s available:
