Keen sailors and windsurfers will notice the wide-open bay with the wind at their back. Mountain bikers will notice the trails in the hills on their way in. But everyone will remember the warm welcome and the long, sandy beach in this lovely corner of Lesvos.

Aeolian Village Beachclub is super-chilled out.  You won't feel rushed into doing anything while you're here, even though there's so much on offer.

Activities on the water

Take your pick from windsurfing, dinghy sailing, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, water skiing and wakeboarding, it's great for water sports here they are all included.

The consistent off shore winds flatten the water in the bay for some great water skiing and wake boarding. There's up to two free tows included per person per week and if you want more there's a couple of upgrade packages you might want to try. 

The off shore wind also provides enough power (typically force 3-5) for some seriously good windsurfing or sailing later in the day. New for 2017, in addition to beginner and intermediate windsurfing tuition, we're adding advanced tuition to the programme. 

Wind conditions

Meltemi winds blow slightly off-shore, great for water skiing in the morning, sailing and windsurfing in the afternoon. The wind typically reaches force 2-5.

Activities on the shore

We include mountain biking with guided rides, tennis coaching and a weekly timetable of fitness and stretch classes in your holiday to Aeolian Village Beachclub.

The hills around the beachclub are full of trails for mountain bikers of all abilities. Our guided 'leisure' and 'sport' rides offer something for all levels and abilities – with just enough of a challenge if you want it. You can also take a bike out on your own with route cards, or if you want to, rent a Garmin GPS pre-loaded with some of our favourite routes.

Back at the beachclub, our three floodlit tennis courts offer inclusive tennis and coaching that's open to everyone and you can use the courts for free-play when not being used for group tuition. At the end of the week, there's usually a tournament and don't forget to come along to 'booze and balls' for some light-hearted fun and games on the courts. 

Rest and relaxation

If relaxing is your thing, you'll love the feeling of space and the wellness area with three treatment rooms. There's also a Finnish style sauna, hydro bath and outdoor massage area. The facilities are free to use but are even better when you book sports or relaxation treatments (treatments are at a supplement). Save up to 25% when you pre-book the one hour spa package before you travel.

Food and drink

Our holidays include club board – daily breakfasts, lunches and four evening meals per week. From buffets to bbqs our chefs work tirelessly to provide a wide range of delicious food.

The beach bar has a relaxed vibe or head to the pool bar and sink into one of the comfy sofas. There's a great selection of drinks and cocktails to choose from. The pool bar also serves bar meals for your non-inclusive evenings or you could pop out to some of the local bars and tavernas in Skala Eressos.

Rooms

Hotel rooms are close to all of the main beachclub facilities, including the pool, restaurant and beach. With twin, double and interconnecting rooms you'll find something that suits you.

Alternatively hillside room have great views across the resort to the sea beyond. They are a bit of a walk from the pool and beach, but the peace and quiet you'll get is a real bonus. There's a combination of steps and slopes to reach the rooms, so if your mobility is not great or you have young children, you may be better checking out the hotel rooms.

Families and kids

There's a small pool and a play area at the beachclub. You'll also be able to make the most of the kids' clubs which are available all summer long. There's a club for all children from two to 17 years and they're full of fun and activities. Make sure your children don't miss out, pre-book before you go to secure a space in the club they want.

For babies and toddlers we've also the Starfish crèche (available for a supplement), cots, baby baths, buggies and a 24-hour baby room. Here you can make up babies' meals, warm formula and sterilise bottles. There's also interconnecting and family rooms, high tea for the under five's and loads more just for families.

Local area

Rich in tradition, history and culture, Lesvos is the third largest of the Greek islands. The landscape is one of extremes, from areas of pine-covered hillside to swathes of volcanic stone. Testament to the island’s volcanic past are the large number of hot therapeutic springs and a petrified forest, with fossilised trees dating back some 15 million years. 

With claims to their medicinal properties, the springs have been used for thousands of years to help cure aches and pains. Well worth a visit after a busy week of activities!
