Fitness & Yoga Activity Holidays 2020

Where to go on a fitness and yoga holiday

With all of our Neilson Beachclubs offering fitness and yoga as an inclusive activity, you’re spoilt for choice in terms of location. How does a fitness and yoga holiday in Sardinia sound? The Italian island is famed for its golden sandy beaches and fusion cuisine. Yoga and fitness holidays in Italy give you plenty of chance to explore and fit in some cultural highlights between activities. Plus, the Mediterranean cuisine means you can stay healthy during your holiday - though we won’t tell if you enjoy a pizza or two!

With our range of beachclubs in Greece, you can really tailor your fitness and yoga break to the entire family. Island life or the mainland? Whichever you choose, our qualified instructors will be there to push you or offer gentle encouragement. For a break that’s slightly off the beaten track, Croatia is ideal if other family members are looking for a holiday with a difference.
