The best hotels equipped for a summer of fun

12 Jul 2024

beach holiday is not only about relaxing and resting, but it can also be an opportunity to do sports and keep active in fascinating locations different from those we usually go to during the year. After all, playing a game of tennis, doing a workout outdoors or indulging in a swim in a pool just a few steps from the sea has a whole different flavour. 

If you are looking for a hotel where you can relax and have fun without giving up your passion for sports, we have 3 destinations to suggest.

 

Sports and wellness on the shores of Versilia

 

The Versilia Lido | UNA Esperienze overlooks one of Italy’s most exclusive coastlines, and it’s renowned for its elegance and wide range of services.

Many of the facilities cater to those who want to keep fit while on holiday. Just outside the building, you’ll find manicured tennis courts where you can challenge your friends, racket in hand, as well as a 25-metre swimming pool surrounded by lush gardens and lawns.

That’s not all, those who love to work out also have access to a fully equipped fitness room with Technogym machines for all kinds of workouts.

The big news for the season is the hotel’s brand new padel court, open daily from early morning until sunset – the perfect setting for a game cooled by the coastal breeze.

If you want to explore the surroundings of the hotel and the beautiful resort of Lido di Camaiore while doing some activity and impacting as little as possible on the environment, then you might like to make the most of the bicycles provided by the hotel, which has always been devoted to sustainability. On that note, you will also find charging stations for cars and electric scooters.

After a day of intense sports, there’s nothing better than recharging your batteries in the facility’s Wellness Center. It’s an authentic oasis of tranquillity, where a heated pool, sauna, state-of-the-art sensory showers and a Turkish bath await you. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to book body and facial treatments and massages.

 

A round of golf in Salento

 

On the beautiful coast of Salento, in the resort of San Foca - Melendugno, stands Posia Retreat & SPA | UNA Esperienze. A contemporary and elegant 5-star resort with spacious and bright rooms and a view of the Adriatic Sea that reaches as far as the Balkans.

 

Holiday sport in Salento

 

Just a 15-minute drive from the facility is the Acaya Golf Club. This is one of the most stunning golf courses in Italy and is also the first in all of southern Italy to have received the 5-star BVGA in the international classification of golf courses.

Enthusiasts will find a spectacular 18-hole course enriched with distinctive features, such as the waterfall between holes 11 and 12. The hotel staff will take care of everything for you, booking the course on request, renting equipment and offering personalised transportation services. 

Back from your game on the green, just a short walk from your room, you can relax at Mora Mora Beach. This beautiful bay with a lido, cocktail bar and seaside bistro overlooking the Adriatic Sea is nestled between Le Cesina WWF Oasis and the Grotta della Poesia, one of the most fascinating places in Salento.

Completing the offerings at Posia Retreat & SPA | Una Esperienze are three restaurants where you can enjoy the best local cuisine, as well as a SPA and two swimming pools.
 

Water sports in Naxos

 

Giardini Naxos is one of the most popular resorts on the east coast of Sicily. Since the 1970s, this small fishing village has become an increasingly popular destination thanks to its mix of nature, architectural beauty and nightlife.

UNAHOTELS Naxos Beach Sicilia, a beach front property nestled in a citrus grove, will be your focal point, with bars and restaurants where you can enjoy dishes prepared with local ingredients and quiet, refined rooms.
