Muddy Stilettos


<p>All-inclusive breaks are one of the best ways for families to get value for money, as there&#8217;s no big bill at the end and meals, snacks and drinks are included (which can really rack up when you’ve got hungry kids in tow), plus loads of activities thrown in.&nbsp;Here are some of the hottest places (and deals) we&#8217;ve found for summer 2026. </p>

<p>We’re currently longing to be lying on a lounger at Ikos Porto Petro in Mallorca, which is one of the best family-friendly all-inclusive resorts in Europe. From glasses of Tattinger Champagne (included, natch) to e-bikes, kids’ clubs and loads of dining options (including an adult-only restaurant if you want to take advantage of the babysitting service), a week here is worth splashing out on this summer – 7 nights from £3,725pp with <a href="https://tui-uk.7cnq.net/yqzOBG" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">T</a><a href="https://www.tui.co.uk/destinations/europe/spain/majorca/portopetro/hotels/blau-porto-petro-beach-resort-and-spa.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">UI</a> flying in July.&nbsp;</p>



<p><a href="https://www.daioscovecrete.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daios Cove</a> in <strong>Crete</strong> has long been a Muddy favourite. We’ve holidayed with our kids here when they were younger because it’s the BEST when it comes to catering for babies and tots. You can basically travel light because there are loads of extras included, like baby monitors, bottle warmers/ sterilisers, baby baths, high chairs, pushchairs, potties and wash basin stools – 7 nights from £2,219pp in July with <a href="https://www.kuoni.co.uk/destinations/europe/greece/crete/hotels/daios-cove/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kuoni</a>.&nbsp;</p>
