Fitness and Yoga Activity Holidays 2019

Where to go on a fitness holiday

We offer fitness holidays in each of our beachclub destinations. For sunny, water-based fitness holidays, Greece ticks all the boxes. The warm, sparkling waters of the Ionian and Aegean Seas are the ideal playground if you love water sports. If you fancy including plenty of cycling in your fitness holiday, Italy and Sardinia are great choices. The smooth scenic roads are a rider’s dream, taking in rustic Italian villages, picturesque coastlines and spectacular mountains along the way.

To bring a touch of luxury to your fitness holidays, Spain could be ideal. It’s home to our brand new Mar Menor Beachclub. Set on the shores of the largest saltwater lagoon in Europe, it’s a wonderful place to combine hitting your fitness goals with some well-deserved pampering. Fitness holidays in Croatia are all about soaking up the stunning natural beauty as you work out. Whether you’re exploring the limestone peaks of Paklenica National Park up close with some hiking or rock climbing, or simply admiring them from the pebbly shores of our Alana Beachclub after a great session in the gym.
