Hotel deals in Spain with full board included

The Best Hotels in Spain with Full Board from 49€

Food is a highlight of any Spanish holiday, but coordinating all your daily meals can be tricky, especially if you're travelling with children or juggling a packed itinerary of museums, beaches or theme parks. Full board simplifies this routine by bundling your breakfast, lunch and dinner into one upfront cost. No more guesswork about restaurant bills. Just show up at the dining area, choose your favourites, and move on to the next activity. 

At Jump2spain.com, we're proud to use the resources and expertise of our sister sites Buscounchollo.com and Amimir.com to bring you deals from as little as 49€ for full board stays across Spain. 

Why choose a full board plan?

• Budget clarity: Lunch can be a major expense, including it in your room rate reduces unexpected costs.
• Time saving: If you plan to lounge around the resort or take quick day trips, returning for a pre-paid lunch is convenient.
• Family convenience: No need to scan the map for child-friendly restaurants, everyone knows where to go at mealtime.
• Consistent quality: Depending on the hotel, buffets or à la carte menus feature local specialities alongside international staples, allowing you to sample a wide range of Spanish cuisine without having to search for new restaurants every day

Booking Tips

• Check the drinks policy when booking: Drinks at lunch and dinner may or may not be included (some hotels charge separately for water, soda or wine).
• Look for themed meals: Many Spanish resorts host seafood nights, paella demonstrations or regionally inspired buffets.
• Check schedules: Meal times can vary, Spanish lunches are often served later than you might expect (around 1:30-3:30 p.m.), and dinners can run from 7:30-10:30 p.m.
• Off-peak benefits: Visit in late spring or early autumn to take advantage of cheaper rates and avoid the high season crowds.

Full-Board Buffet at the Hotel Oasis Park Splash (Calella, Costa Maresme)

How does full board differ from half board or all inclusive?

• Half board (HB): Breakfast + one other meal (usually dinner). If you like to sample local restaurants or explore at lunchtime, half board may be sufficient.
• Full board (FB): Breakfast, lunch and dinner, usually in a buffet or set menu format. Drinks are sometimes extra.
• All Inclusive (AI): All meals, snacks and drinks (including some alcohol), plus often additional benefits such as certain activities or use of sports equipment.

Choose the right meal plan

• Activity level: If you're going to be out and about all day, half board might work. But if you plan to hang around the resort or prefer structured meal times, full board is the sweet spot.
• Budget: All-inclusive can be more expensive up front. Full board covers the main meals but usually excludes drinks, so you can control those costs.
• Meal flexibility: Full board is perfect for those who want to minimise daily costs and prefer to return to the hotel for lunch.

Will I miss out on local cuisine if I always eat at the hotel?

Not necessarily. You can still explore local specialities for snacks, desserts or specific dishes off property:

• Try tapas & pastries: Even if lunch is included, try a pastry before lunch or tapas in the late afternoon.
• Dine out some nights: See if your length of stay and budget allow you to skip a dinner or two to explore a local seafood tavern or Michelin-starred restaurant (just be aware that you won't get a discount for unused meals).
• Themed nights at the hotel: Many full-board packages feature local cuisine as part of the buffet, so you'll get a taste of Spanish flavours anyway.

Finding a balance

• Day trips: Some hotels allow you to request a picnic basket or packed lunch if you're away.
• Partial exploration: Indulge in coffee breaks at local cafes, buy fresh fruit at a nearby market or go on a tapas crawl for lunch if you're going to skip the hotel's lunch occasionally.

Are drinks included in a full board hotel package?

Often drinks with meals (soft drinks, water, wine) aren't automatically included with full board, unlike many all-inclusive deals:

• Pay-As-You-Go: You may be charged for each soda, beer or bottle of water.
• Drink packages: Some hotels offer an optional "Full Board Plus" or beverage package.
• Key to confirm: Check if water or a house drink is complimentary with lunch/dinner - policies vary widely.

The appeal of full board is simple: a single payment covers breakfast, lunch and dinner, leaving you free to concentrate on enjoying Spain's famous beaches, historic sites or vibrant festivals. Whether you're recharging your batteries after a day exploring Barcelona's Gaudí treasures or lazing on the Costa del Sol, knowing every meal is included can free you from daily budgeting.
