Retreat Beachclub (Adult & Active Family)

Retreat Beachclub sits amongst the hillsides of the Greek mainland, close to the pretty harbour town of Sivota. Around every corner, the breath-taking, panoramic views across the Ionian Sea are revealed in their full glory, as the rooms, bar and restaurant are perched high above a sheltered bay and an array of beaches.

New for 2021 we have a new format at the Retreat Beachclub, designed with Active Families and Adults in mind. There are new facilities galore and an exciting activity programme that plays to the strengths of this ever-popular beachclub for you to enjoy.

The beachclub has equipment for children aged eight and over so they can enjoy the activities with their families, be it tennis rackets or paddles for smaller hands, or bikes for shorter legs, we will be able to get you all active together! We also have family sessions for children aged eight and over to enjoy with their families, whilst those aged 13 and over can join in with any group tuition they prefer.

We're taking fitness to the next level with facilities that are unparalleled across our beachclub programme. There’s a superb, fully-equipped air-conditioned gym and studio, outdoor CrossFit area, outdoor yoga platform and a shaded amphitheatre for group classes. We’ll be making the most of these facilities with up to 15 classes per day including yoga, interval training, spin and TRX.  

Fitness takes centre stage with a brand new fitness focus offering something for everyone, from those starting their fitness journey to gym regulars and competitive athletes. The air-conditioned custom-built gym and indoor fitness studio is spacious and equipped to Olympic training standards with weight machines, free weights, cardio machines and a stretch/relax area. 

There's a small outdoor yoga and stretch platform plus a larger shaded amphitheatre for group fitness classes. Classes include High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Spin, or you can improve flexibility and strength with BODYBALANCE™️, work on endurance and stamina with Boxercise, stretch and relax plus so much more. With over 100 classes per week, we’re confident you’ll find your favourite way to work out. 

The Retreat is one of our best clubs for biking. There's rocky tracks, green valleys, steep climbs, wonderful views, coastal tracks and technical single track – something for just about everybody. If road riding is your thing, there are some great long rides, how does 80km of rolling coastal road with inland climbs and long descents to Parga and back sound?  

There are three tennis courts and three Padel tennis courts with plenty of coaching from the tennis team and free play too. The Padel courts are brand new, play is mainly in doubles format and the whole court is used, meaning that the ball is always in play. The rules are broadly the same as tennis and groups of mixed age and ability can easily play together. We think it will be a great new addition to the tennis programme. There is also a multisport court for basketball and 5-a-side football.
 
We provide a selection of adult and child rackets from Babolat. 

This is one of our most popular beachclubs for water skiing and wakeboarding and it's easy to see why. The bay is sheltered, and the water is nice and flat, so there's no excuse not to get out there and give it a go. Whether it’s your first time or your 100th time we’ll make sure you get the most from your time behind the boat. 

The Retreat Beachclub is a perfect teaching and learning environment, and we will be offering our own paddle tuition sessions throughout the week. Kayakers and stand up paddle boarders  will love exploring the small offshore islands, caves and rocky coastline. 

The typical wind force ranges from 1-2 all season, with calm waters most of the time - perfect for paddle sports, water skiing and wakeboarding. 

Escape to a world of relaxation in our wellness area and day spa. With a team of qualified therapists and physiotherapists, three treatment rooms, a sauna and an ice bath we have everything you need to soothe aching muscles and get you ready for another day of activity. If relaxation is more you, we have a range of beauty treatments and gentle massages too. Spa packages can be pre-booked before travelling with savings on the in-resort prices.

There are several dining and drinking spaces including a new alfresco area to the restaurant where you can enjoy a delicious meal while soaking up the sea views. As with all other areas of the beachclub, the views from the restaurant and pool bar are lovely. The pool bar is a good meeting point and is always a hive of activity with people chatting about the day over a coffee, cocktail or beer.

New at the Retreat we have flexible dining. You choose the board basis to suit you with half board (breakfast and lunch) and full board available. Whichever you choose you'll find locally sourced produce focussing on Mediterranean classics and plenty of it too.

The rooms are light and bright, all have a balcony or terrace and most have great views over the Ionian Sea. Garden rooms are shady and peaceful, while hotel rooms are located closer to the restaurant. There are also some premium rooms; built recently, they have a contemporary design with modern furnishings.  

Choose from twin, double, triple, family or interconnecting rooms. Each has a shower, air conditioning, fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, telephone, TV, safe, hairdryer and beach towels.  There is free Wi-Fi in the public areas and in most of the rooms.
