What is a Sportcation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The name \u2018sportcation\u2019 speaks for itself. It\u2019s basically a fun-packed activity holiday that\u2019s perfect for families, couples, friends or lone travellers. A sportcation is a vacation where holidaymakers can participate in sports, whether on land or in the water, get active, try new things and learn new skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some sportcations, such as walking holidays or cycling holidays have long been popular with certain groups of travellers but sportcations are quickly becoming popular even among those who aren\u2019t already sports enthusiasts or fitness fanatics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of a sportcation is that it can be centred around one particular sport or it can include lots of different activities, and it allows for plenty of downtime for rest, relaxation and exploring new destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Are These Holidays Becoming More Popular?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The rising popularity of activity holidays could be partly a result of the ongoing cost of living crisis<\/a>, which sees many households having to re-prioritise and tighten their budgets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When planning a holiday, travellers want to know that they\u2019re going to get great value for money and that they\u2019ll be able to experience things they wouldn\u2019t be able to at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeal of sportcations could also be because increasing numbers of people are recognising the many benefits of staying active<\/a> to both physical and mental health and wellbeing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adventure holidays are also a fantastic way to bond with your loved ones and create memories that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neilson Active Holidays has seen a rise in holidaymakers wanting to get the most out of their holiday and get active and found that 7 out of\u00a0 10 customers in 2023 were returning from prior summers to relive the experience again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activity Holiday Ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no one type of sportcation. Activity holidays can involve any sport or physical activity you choose or even a combination of many different activities. If you\u2019re looking for inspiration, here are a few possibilities to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ski Holidays<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not all sportcations require sunshine and warm weather! In fact, if it\u2019s a winter break you\u2019re after, ski holidays fit the bill perfectly<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try something new and hone your skills on the slopes, skiing and snowboarding. Ski holidays also offer plenty of other activities for you to try, such as snowshoeing or sledging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tennis Holidays<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tennis holidays offer tennis enthusiasts the chance to brush up on their racket skills, meet like-minded people and catch some sun. With professional tennis coaching on offer and private courts where you can play against family and friends, they offer a great mix of relaxation and activity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cycling Holidays<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cycling holidays are a superb way to travel and explore new destinations away from the beaten track. Cycling through towns, villages and open countryside can help you get a real feel for a location and its people and culture. Plus, all that exercise will help you work up an appetite for sampling local cuisine at the end of a long day of cycling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beach Clubs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Beach clubs are an active holiday option that offers a wide range of activities, from activities like paddle boarding to water sports like windsurfing and water skiing. And for those who prefer to stay on dry land, there\u2019s cycling, racket sports and fitness classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adventure Holidays<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Perfect for adrenaline seekers, adventure holidays are a sportcation packed with activities such as rock climbing, white-water rafting and ziplining for thrills and spills galore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
