Couples' holidays activities
There’s a huge choice of inclusive activities in your holiday, whether you love taking to the water or keeping both feet firmly on dry land. We’ve got experienced teams of instructors, coaches, and guides in all our Beach Clubs. If you need a gentle nudge, they’ll be there to share their passion and inspire you to learn something new. You can get an idea of which Beach Clubs are best for which activities to help you decide on a location.
If you had more relaxing couples' beach holidays in mind, you might opt for poolside lounging with a cocktail or some pampering in the spa. Both count as equally feasible holiday activities in our book!

Why choose couples holidays in Europe?
Greece, Sardinia, Turkey, Croatia – Europe is home to some of the most beautiful destinations on the planet, so what better part of the world could there be for couples' holidays?
They're also cracking spots for young (or older!) active couples seeking a beach or inclusive activity holiday. Clear waters and sandy beaches will become your playground and a host of activities await. Add a dash of continental culture, from food to breathtaking sights that ooze romance, and you're all set. The promise of a romantic sunset should help to seal the deal.
Food and dining
Our menus are inspired by our Beach Club locations. Each uses locally sourced ingredients. Depending on your destination, you could be treated to Sardinian, Turkish, Greek or Croatian flavours. Not forgetting plenty of classic crowd-pleasers like burgers and pizzas.
We serve club board across all our Beach Clubs, which means inclusive meals – that’s breakfast and lunch every day, as well as 4 evening meals each week. These tend to be served buffet-style, giving you plenty of options and no chance of going hungry after all those activities.
On non-inclusive nights, you can choose to head out to a local restaurant or come along to one of our BBQs.
Relaxed evenings
The daytime activities we offer are a huge part of our couples’ holidays. But whether you’ve been busy on your bike, amongst the waves, or on the beach all day, we don’t think the fun should stop just because the sun goes down.
Come evening, how about chilled-out cocktails in the bar before catching up on the day’s activities over dinner with your partner?
If you're keen to socialise with others during your couples' holiday, you can join our adult-focused mix and mingle activities. We’ve got everything from quiz nights and booze ‘n’ balls (aka. tennis with a beer in hand!) to wine tasting and cocktail masterclasses to keep you entertained. Or perhaps you like to explore the tavernas and get a real taste of local life.
Either way, we have activities for older and younger couples alike, so you can tailor your beach holiday in any way you prefer.
Buca Beach Club
Our top pick for couples' activity holidays has to be Buca Beach Club, on the beautiful sands of Greece’s Analipsi beach. It’s the only Beach Club that’s exclusively for over 15s, so you'll get an instant relaxing vibe.
The hotel has a gorgeous boutique feel, with stylish rooms complete with a balcony or terrace. After a busy morning of activities, head to the wellness area and hydro spa before unwinding at the pool bar.
While the hotel, bar, restaurant and pool are strictly 15 years+, many of the activities are shared with guests at our neighbouring family-friendly Messini Beach Club.
Alana Beach Club
Alana Beach Club on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast is another of our favourites for couples' beach and activity holidays. The indulgent wellness area is a huge draw, boasting an indoor hydromassage whirlpool, resistance swimming pool, hot tubs, steam bath and 3 types of sauna.
Try rock climbing or mountain biking in the Paklenica National Park or head out into the bay for fantastic wind conditions and warm water made for water sports. The modern style of the hotel’s rooms is matched by a fabulous rooftop cocktail bar in the ideal spot to watch the stunning sunsets.
Baia dei Mori Beach Club
What could be more fitting for a couples' holiday than a trip to Sardinia, a beautiful island off the coast of Italy? Sardinia is home to our Baia dei Mori Beach Club. It's in a tranquil spot on the northeast coast, to the south of the famous Costa Smeralda and is a lovely choice for couples looking to enjoy amazing food, a stunning setting and a tranquil atmosphere.
The pine-fringed bay is scenic to say the least and you can enjoy it while embarking on one of the many activities on offer. The road cycling in this region is particularly good and water sports fans will love this sun-drenched stretch of coast with its turquoise waters and gentle breezes.
Neilson | Cook's Club Adakoy
We've combined the best bits of Neilson - our fantastic endorphin-boosting activity programme with Cook's Club laid-back luxury to offer a Neilson | Cook's Club Adakoy in Marmaris, Turkey.
What could be better for a couples holiday than a tucked away slice of paradise, just across the water from Marmaris, so you can have the best of both worlds. Seclusion, private beach, waterfront sofas and a picture-perfect beachside pool.
This boutique, new addition to the Neilson Beach Club family is strictly for adults and families with older teens over 16 years of age.
