Where is the best place for a watersports holiday in Europe?
All of our Beach Clubs in Croatia, Turkey, Greece and Sardinia offer a choice of inclusive watersports. Some Beach Clubs are better for dinghy sailing, while others are great for water skiing and wakeboarding. All have a great choice and inclusive tuition from our teams of watersports holiday instructors.
Join us on one of our watersports holidays in Greece at Levante, Messini, Buca, Vounkai or Cosmos Beach Club. If the Adriatic is calling and you're looking into watersports holidays in Croatia, check out Alana Beach Club, or if turquoise waters are calling, take a trip to Baia dei Mori Beach Club on one of our watersports holidays to Sardinia. Want to try something new? Check out efoiling and sea scooters at the stylish Neilson | Cook's Club Adakoy. See the individual Beach Club pages to choose the perfect holiday.
Inclusive
Dinghy sailing
Dinghy sailing is one of our most popular watersports. It's available in all of our Beach Clubs, except Cosmos Beach Club, where the focus is most definitely on windsurfing. You may be an expert sailor or setting sail for the first time, either way, we've got something for you.
There's daily group tuition from our experienced, knowledgeable team of watersports instructors. And, if you're after a qualification, there are Royal Yachting Association (RYA) courses covering Level 1 Start Sailing and Level 2 Basic Skills. If you can already sail, you're free to sail independently within the sailing area.
At our Neilson | Cook's Club Adakoy and Cosmos Beach Clubs, if you can already sail, you can jump straight into the action. Plus, at Cosmos, we offer a weekly 'Intro to Sailing' session (1hr 15mins), and at Adakoy, get ready for thrilling Catamaran joyrides. Please note that the dinghies are limited at these 2 Beach Clubs.
The best conditions for dinghy sailing during your watersports holiday can be found at the following Beach Clubs:
Windsurfing is an exhilarating watersport that you can pick up, whatever your age or ability, on our watersports holidays. With expert guidance from our team of instructors, the basics will quickly become second nature. Windsurfing is included in the cost of your holiday, so you can dip in and out during the week depending on wind conditions and your energy levels.
Windsurfing is available at all Beach Clubs in Croatia, Greece and Sardinia, but for the best wind conditions, kit and level of instruction we would recommend heading to:
Make the most of the beautiful bays and warm water at our Beach Clubs by giving this accessible watersport a go. Paddle boarding or SUP as it's more commonly known, is easy to get to grips with. With just a few pointers from our watersports team and one of our super stable inflatable boards, you'll be all set.
It's an inclusive activity, and the boards are lined up on the waterfront, ready to go. It can be enjoyed from all of our Beach Clubs, but for the best conditions and coastal scenery, we would recommend a watersports holiday to Vounaki Beach Club, or for something a little more magical, how about sunset or sunrise SUP Yoga at our Neilson | Cook's Club Adakoy.
Kayaking must be one of the easiest ways to get on the water, making it ideal for a first-timer. It's a watersport that can be enjoyed by most people, regardless of age or ability. Every Beach Club has stacks of sit-on-top kayaks for one or two people.
They can be taken out independently whenever the watersports beach is open, or if you want to kayak in company, join us on a kayak safari. The kayak safari is a great way to explore the local coastline and give those arms and shoulders a workout out too! You can get stuck into kayaking at any of our Beach Clubs, making it a must-try during your watersports holiday.
Kitesurfing is the latest watersport that you can try on a Beach Club watersports holiday. It's a non-inclusive activity, so it will cost you a little extra, but it's such a thrill you'll be delighted you took the plunge.
Kitesurfing is available exclusively on our watersports holidays in Sardinia. We'll hook you up with a local kitesurf school that will soon have you skimming across the water powered by the wind. Give kitesurfing a go at:
Experience the exhilarating watersport of wakesurfing, the perfect blend of the relaxed flow of surfing and the tricks of wakeboarding. Dubbed as 'lazy man surfing', wakesurfing eliminates the need for paddling or popping up, making it accessible to people of all ages and skill levels.
Whether you're a beginner learning to stand on the board or an experienced rider, wakesurfing offers an addictive and unforgettable experience. Glide effortlessly on the wave, feel the rush of adrenaline, and try new tricks. Don't miss the opportunity to ride the endless wave at Alana and Vounaki Beach Clubs.
Are you ready to fly? Then come and give foiling a go.
The experience of hydrofoiling is often described as flying - gliding effortlessly above the water. It's an amazing feeling, with the board out of the water, everything goes silent and with no feedback from the water's surface, you truly feel like you are flying.
At Levante Beach Club and Cosmos Beach Club, we offer courses in wing foiling, and you can even try a free taster session before committing to a course. Additionally, you can explore windsurf foiling at Levante.
Want to turn your snorkel into a cheeky mini-adventure? Snap on a sea scooter and jet-propel yourself into the crystal-clear Adriatic around Neilson | Cook’s Club Adakoy. Glide deeper, swim longer, and leave your flippers in awe — this isn’t snorkelling, it’s sea-scooter-powered exploration, and it’s ridiculously more fun.
If you’re keen to venture further, chat to the team and hop on a RIB day trip to discover the most stunning hidden spots along the coastline. Think calm, warm waters, incredible visibility, and vibrant marine life at every turn.
Ever wanted to feel like you’re flying? eFoiling is as close as you can get without wings. Think surfing, pumped full of hoverboard magic and powered by a silent electric motor. It’s easy to pick up, eco-friendly, and gloriously smooth.
Whether you are a total beginner or a watersports pro, at Neilson | Cook’s Club Adakoy, you’ll be up and gliding in no time (many riders stand within half an hour). Grab a handheld remote, or use the stability of the handlebars, lean into the curves, and float above the Adriatic like you own the airspace.
Ready to take off? Sign up for a free taster session and let the fun begin.
