High intensity classes
Scientifically proven to get you fitter, and faster, these effective interval training sessions will maximise your workout in a short time, while the early morning runs will energize you for the rest of the day.
HIIT - High-Intensity Interval Training is a technique used to create a 100% all-out effort workout through quick, intense bursts of exercise followed by short recovery periods.
This 30-minute HIIT workout mixes body strength and cardio to give maximum results - you'll work hard and feel great!
Run club - This is a social run for mixed abilities, we generally aim for around 5km but shorter and longer options are also on the timetable. The terrain can be a road or track or sometimes a mixture of both. Don't worry, it's not too off-road that trail trainers are needed.

Zumba - Strictly come Zumba! A brilliant fitness dance workout that's easy to follow and fun with catchy tunes to keep you smiling. Families are encouraged to take part on family mornings.
Circuits - Kids of all ages will enjoy the fun, interactive stations which our instructors will adapt especially for the family sessions.

Buca is an exceptional resort with a huge range of activities to choose from from all watersports ( sailing, paddle boarding, canoeing windsurfing and water skiing) cycling ( road, MTB and electric bikes) tennis, pickle ball and loads of fitness classes such as spin, body pump, aqua aerobics , Pilates, yoga and stretch and relax.
All the instructors are knowledgeable enthusiastic and incredibly motivating. There is also an excellent spa and a beautiful glass sided swimming pool.
As Buca has around 50 rooms and is adult only it has a boutique vibe ensuring a relaxed and peaceful holiday.
The staff are fabulous and go out of their way to make the holiday special. Most of the hotel staff are there year on year and meet you like old friends. It’s very special and no wonder there are so many returning guests.
Free wine tasting, cocktail of the day and fresh fruit are bought round daily to the pool side sun beds which makes you feel really pampered. The dining room has a relaxed pleasant feel with proper linen table cloths and napkins at dinner ! Definitely not a cafeteria feel as some hotels but a real restaurant. This year the majority of meals were buffet style and the food on offer had an excellent variety and was of a high standard. Delicious home made ice team and glorious cakes.
We have been three times and will definitely be going again next year if we can get in !!
We had a fantastic second visit to Vounaki (first was in 20117). Sailing kit was all in good order, sailing instructor Izzy made the red sailing classes great fun.

Fantastic views (Sea View is worth the extra money)!
Nice that it’s so close to a lovely little town.
Vass the waterski instructor is amazing.
Nice little note in our hotel room when we arrived welcoming us back… lovely touch.
Fantastic holiday!

This was my first Neilson holiday and it was excellent, especially going as a solo traveller. I'm very sport minded and wanted somewhere with yoga and cycling this holiday provided this but also lots of other activity's, with the restaurant they had a nice touch of having an open table where i met other solo travellers and couples the food was in keeping with the holiday quite healthy but with treats. the staff were excellent and friendly especially liked the beach volleyball and the end of the day with a few beers. Croatia was beautiful
