Ahhhh, nothing like an all-inclusive holiday to kick back, relax, and let all the thinking, doing and planning be handled by someone else. For the majority of people, only a couple weeks a year are allocated from busy work schedules for real getaways, and those are usually enjoyed eating, drinking and sun bathing. While those 3 things are definitely something the majority of people would want to indulge in, some people might actually enjoy a bit of activity on their all-inclusive vacation. Here are 3 places that are not only awesome for lounging, but also exploring and getting the heart rate up a bit!

1. Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt

Affectionately referred to as, “Sharm”, this Egyptian sun-worshipers paradise is a popular getaway for Europeans who desire to escape the harsh winter. Located at the southern tip of Sinai Peninsula, Sharm is safe and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Egypt.

There are a wealth of all-inclusive resorts to stay in, and you can often find some pretty great deals. Alcohol consumption is permitted in Egypt and beer was actually a staple in the ancient Egyptian diet! Egyptian made beer and wine is actually very cheap, but that shouldn’t be an issue if you’re all-inclusivin’ it up.

Outside of the great resorts, Sharm is known for its stunning aquamarine waters and diverse sea life. It’s a world-renowned destination for snorkeling and scuba diving and people flock from the world over to discover its underwater secrets.
