WE ARE NEILSON
There aren't many companies where 7 out of 10 of our guests return to relive the experience again, and again. Mind you, there aren't many holiday companies like Neilson. In part it's because we're in some of Europe's most beautiful locations. All our activities are inclusive, likewise the delicious, locally sourced food.
And in part it's because of how a Neilson holiday makes you feel.
Our holidays are a unique alchemy; the enthusiasm of amazing guests and the dedication of equally amazing staff; a willingness to give it a go now and have a laugh about it later. We call it good energy and you'll feel it the moment you walk into any of our resorts.
It's an atmosphere really. A sort of collective goodwill. A spirit of positive intent that encourages you to enjoy your thing in your way. Hit the surf or the sun lounger, it's all good.
If you're trying it for the first time, you're in a safe space to make a fool of yourself. If you're good and you want to be really good, we can totally help with that.
No worries. No judgements. No rules (apart from the unwritten one about trying to not take yourself too seriously).
This is Good Energy and you are very welcome to be part of it.
When guests feed back on the things they most love about a Neilson holiday, top of the list is the warmth and enthusiasm of our team. And who are we to argue? They are all hand-picked and we think they rock. Mixing your cocktail or helping to improve your tennis swing, they give a damn - and that matters. Because, while many things make a good holiday, only people can generate good energy.
We’ll let you into a little industry secret. With most holiday companies you are staying in a hotel run by someone else’s team. We don’t do that. Most of the resort teams are employed directly by us, returning year after year. And where we work with partners, we make sure they totally get the Neilson way and have orange blood too! So, the benefit to you is a better, more consistent experience. Like our teams, it’s the reason so many of our customers come back each year.
Bored kids do not create good energy. Which is why we run a wide range of narrow age-band clubs for kids aged from 2 to 17. (Babies are also welcome for a small supplement.)
Each club is run by a qualified and experienced team who over the years have devised myriad cunning ways to keep young bodies and minds occupied, whether 2, 12 or 17, going on 27.
On a Neilson holiday, boredom is simply not a thing.
You'll find things pretty relaxed at Neilson. Okay, most of us tend to spruce up a bit for dinner, but overly formal isn't our style. If you want to enjoy your sundowner in your boardshorts, that's totally fine with us.
And let's talk about good food. Because goodness knows, you earned it after paddle boarding halfway across the Mediterranean today.
Ours is all fresh and locally sourced. Breakfasts fit for champions. Lunches to keep you going all afternoon. And dinners to linger over as you relive that herculean paddle boarding effort.
We've been nominated for the British Travel Awards again! And yes, we're buzzing. Proof that Good Energy, passion, and a bit of sun really do go a long way.
This year, we're up for Best Travel Company for Activity/Sport Holidays and Best Travel Company for Ski/Winter Sports Holidays.
We’ve scooped up 11 shiny trophies over the years – and now we’re chasing a golden dozen. But we can’t get there without a little help from our favourite people (that’s you). If you’ve holidayed with us, dreamt about it, or just like the cut of our jib, we’d love your vote. It only takes a minute, and as a thank you, you'll be entered into a fantastic prize draw. Who knows, you might end up a winner too! Thanks for being part of our journey; we wouldn't be here without you.
