Fly-and-flop? We don’t know her…
Yeah, we might all have moaned our way up a big hill when we were younger with our parents, but that’s all part of the journey… Now, we take on mountains for fun. If you’re not moving, you’re not seeing where you are. On ya bike, on foot or in a kayak. Up a hill, round a lake, along the beach – you name it, you wanna do it. Think resorts with tennis courts, a waterpark nearby or a championship golf course just down the road. If you’re going beachy, it’s not just for sunbathing… You want surf, jet skis, scuba diving and snorkelling scenes.
Plus, when you think about it, hiking is free! The views are a win but it’s also about the snacks along the way – baguette strapped to your backpack anyone? – games like 21 questions and would you rather, and someone’s poor sense of direction inevitably leading you the wrong way. But it’s okay because you can laugh about it now and those core memories are forever.
So, what can’t you do? It’s time to pick your next active adventure…

Frequently Asked Questions About Active Holidays
Activity holidays are all about filling your days with activity and adventure. Swap your sunlounger for waterslides, surfing, diving, hiking or some golf. If it’s just the kids that need to let loose, take a look at our hotels that run kids’ clubs. They put on everything from sports sessions to DJ lessons. Don’t worry, you’re not signing up to a bootcamp or anything by looking for an Activity holiday. It’s all about finding somewhere that has all the gear for you to get active if you fancy. Maybe one day you decide to take it easy on a sunlounger – that’s okay, too.
Make sure your trip matches your fitness level and experience – you still want to be able to enjoy yourself. The weather is another factor. Dry days and some sunshine usually make outdoor activities a lot nicer, so think about spring and the start of autumn when it’s still cool enough to be active. And, budget is always something to consider. You might be travelling solo or in a group and need to decide on something that suits everyone.
