Inclusive fitness holidays
Our outdoor fitness spaces mean you can enjoy fitness and yoga in the great outdoors, with the sea, beach and mountains as a backdrop rather than the four walls of a studio. As part of your package you get the choice of all of our classes. So you can do a bit of Pilates and Yoga, a morning 5k run, Zumba, HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) or go it alone in our air-conditioned fitness studios.
Different ways to exercise
Relax as hard as you like
Fitness holidays for singles
A solo fitness holiday is the perfect getaway. Just you, the sound of heart beating in your chest and the sweet relief of hearing your instructor say “last 5 to go”. All with the backdrop of the sea, some mountains and some like minded people. Our fitness holidays are like a mini-retreat. You can dip in and out of as many classes as you want, striking the right balance between working hard and relaxing, whilst mixing with other singles, couples and families who are all trying to do the same.

Fitness holidays for couples
Some heavy breathing. Sweating. And the satisfaction of knowing that couples who train together, stay together. Our couples fitness holidays offer you the chance to choice between HIIT classes, morning 5Ks, mountain biking, or even a bit of Yoga to stretch out those tight muscles. Or if training together isn’t your thing, you can knock it on the head and go to the spa while they run themselves ragged. The choice is yours.
