Activity Holidays in Croatia

Take your pick from a vast range of sports at Alana Beach Club. They’re (almost) all included!

If you love the water, choose to spend your days on the sea with inclusive dinghy sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, water skiing and wakeboarding. Or have a go at wakesurfing for a small supplement. The large, beautiful bay at Alana tends to be calm and flat in the mornings, with a good on-shore cross breeze arriving in the afternoons.

Back on dry land you’ll find 6 tennis courts, a choice of indoor and outdoor pools, a climbing wall, a luxurious spa with a lovely range of treatments plus a fantastic fitness studio and outdoor fitness deck.

Or why not head out into Paklenica National Park to hit the mountain bike trails or the awesome rock climbing?

Alana Beach Club is the ideal base for Croatian family activity holidays. It has a pebble beach, leading to a beautiful bay, with a kids’ pool at the hotel for little ones to splash and play in. Close to the Paklenica National Park, families have the chance to explore, play and get involved in all sorts of outdoor activities.

Our large sailing bay is the perfect spot to learn some new skills. Our activity team is on-hand, along with our team of early years leaders, to make sure everyone makes the most of their family activity holiday in Croatia.

Children will love exploring their adventurous side on our climbing wall.

Meanwhile, as the kids get involved with the Neilson-run clubs, you can hit the spa for some downtime.

The coastline of Croatia has a lovely, sunny climate throughout the summer months, making it a no-brainer for your next family beach or activity holiday. Expect to see the sunshine for around 10-12 hours per day with temperatures in the mid to high 20s, reaching into the 30s in July and August. May and September bring more manageable temperatures - though the sea will feel a little cooler.

June, July and August tend to offer the most predictable conditions. The breeze at Alana Beach Club typically picks up after lunch, when beginners and intermediate sailors can take advantage of the on-shore cross winds on most days.

Holidays in Croatia offer plenty of downtime too, so why not enjoy some mouth-watering local food and wine? We love the Italian influences and sun-drenched Mediterranean produce.

You’ll find at least 1 excellent pizzeria in most towns, and an ever-changing menu if you travel around. Each region has its own take on the country's food. In coastal spots, you’ll find seafood with a twist. Fish is generally served grilled, but you’ll also spot salad and black risotto made using black ink from the squid.

Meat tends to be grilled or baked over open wood fires or charcoal BBQs. Any diner will love fritule - deep-fried dough balls with a touch of lemon and schnapps to liven them up. They are sweet, moreish and found on most coastal menus. Wherever you eat, try Croatian wines - family-run vineyards produce excellent wines.

Are you looking to learn something new? The official language of the Republic of Croatia is Croatian. It's always a good idea to know a few words in the local language where you're travelling.

The beauty of Croatia is its incredible diversity when it comes to language. While over half of the population speaks a bit of English, many Croatians also speak other languages. 23% of Croatians also speak French, and roughly 39% of the country speaks German. It's time to brush up on your A-Level languages on the plane!
