Activities
The sheltered waters and calm conditions make sailing for beginners ideal. Novice or expert waterskiers and wakeboarders can make the most of the flat water throughout the day, with the premium package available to book for a supplement for those who are really keen.
For the more energetic, The Retreat is a particulary good option for those looking to enjoy a comprehensive fitness programme. There is often a guided bike ride, fitball, gym and tennis sessions, as well as road bikes, swim coaching, a dedicated triathlon training camp and specialist yoga weeks. One of the most popular activities is to take a kayak and explore the secluded coves surrounding the club. In the afternoon the sailing area extends beyond the island for intermediates to make the most of the breeze further out.
Alternatively, for a supplement you can spend the day on one of our skippered day yachts or enjoy a 2 day flotilla taster experience and make the most of the breeze outside the bay whilst exploring secluded bays further up the coast. You could also choose to join our 4 day Introduction to Yachting course and learn the skills required to sail a yacht in the Med.
As the sun dips in the sky, informal games of volleyball are organised, either in the pool or on the sand court. For those who prefer a gentler pace there is table tennis, boules or maybe a relaxing massage in the spa area before a pre-dinner cocktail.
