Family Active Holidays

On a Neilson family activity holiday, you can spend time doing what you love while your family discovers their new favourite activities. Children aged two to 17 can try new sports, from kayaking to sailing, while making new friends and building confidence.

With up to 60 hours of free childcare included per week, we've got something up our sleeves for tots, teens and everyone in between.

For babies, we’ve got our Starfish crèche and water sports mad kids can join our Hot Shots club, both of which are available for a supplement.

Don't miss out; book any kids' clubs before you go to secure a space.

Our family beach holidays are jam-packed with activities for you and your family to enjoy. Spend your days sailing, water skiing, wakeboarding or swimming in beautiful oceans. If you’d rather stay on dry land, our tennis courts and climbing walls will let you get the most out of your holiday. Children aged 14 and up can also join in with the adult teaching sessions in windsurfing, dinghy sailing, tennis and fitness, so you can earn that suntan as a family.

As well as the wide range of inclusive activities, we also offer additional options that can be booked for a small supplement. Take a leap with something you’ve never done before, like kitesurfing or rock climbing, to make it a holiday you’ll never forget.

Growing children burning loads of energy will result in big appetites during your family activity holiday. But they - and you - will love the food at our Beach Clubs. It’s nutritional, locally sourced and totally tasty. There are plenty of familiar favourites on the buffets as well as new flavours to try.

Children in Sea Urchins, Sea Badgers, Surfbusters, Stingrays, Sharksters and Hot Shots will be taken for lunch by the team (unless you prefer to sign them out) on 4 days each week. If you have any little ones in the Starfish crèche, you'll need to collect them at 12.30pm, and they can be dropped off again at 2.30pm. We'll keep the tummy rumbles at bay with high tea at 5pm for the under-5s.

All Beach Clubs have interconnecting rooms (except our new clubs in Mauritius and Sicily) - 2 rooms with an internal door connecting them for more space, security and peace of mind when travelling with children during your family activity holiday. 

Our family rooms tend to have all the beds in the same room, so you can keep an eye on the little ones at all times. Suites are also good for families looking for a little extra space and beds. Just let us know what you need when you book. Simple! 

Cut down on the amount you need to bring with our baby booster (kettle, steriliser, microwave, changing mat, bouncer chair) and toddler packs (kettle, microwave, changing mat). Our well-stocked shops in your Beach Club also sell nappies, milk, formula milk, suntan lotion and various other goods for children.
