Sciacca in Sicily
The Sunday Times

I’m in Sicily with Tom, my 17-year-old son, at the family activity holiday specialist Neilson’s resort near Sciacca that opened this year on the southwest coast of the Italian island. It is one of the company’s three new upmarket Inside Collection offerings (the others are in Mauritius and Turkey, launched this year and last, respectively).

Move, rest, repeat. From e-foiling and sea scootering to sound baths, padel and spa sessions, Lucy Miller tried Sicily’s most active holiday – and returned completely relaxed.

The Telegraph

This is Neilson’s flagship Mountain Collection property, which means the active holiday company’s 'Relax As Hard As You Like' motif is cranked up that little bit further. Keen skiers have everything they could wish for: an impressive pool and spa, hearty food, friendly service and easy access to the slopes.

The Guardian

We sailed with Neilson Holidays, which has a mainland base near Palairos on the Ionian Sea. Depending on experience and qualifications, you can either follow a flotilla or go it alone. The Neilson support crew proved to be our secret weapon in finding the right adventures: they knew every cove and cave in the region, and were quick to share their knowledge.

The Times

I have come to Cook’s Club Adakoy, an adults-only resort on Turkey’s Lycian Coast. These calm, raki-clear waters are fast establishing themselves as a haven for watersports — with temperatures above 20C even in April and flights from Edinburgh and Glasgow going straight to Dalaman.
