About Neilson Active Holidays
Beach Clubs
The Beach Clubs centre on watersports and fitness: paddleboarding, kayaking, windsurfing and sailing, plus tennis, cycling and classes. Tuition from resort teams is included, so beginners can learn and confident sailors can improve. Kids' clubs run age-banded activities, which frees parents to do their own thing. Staff are chosen for their enthusiasm, and meals use healthy, locally sourced food.
Ski and sailing holidays
Winter trips go to resorts in France, Italy and Andorra, staying in the brand's Mountain Collection chalets and hotels. Ski packages can bundle equipment hire, lift passes and guiding, with the guiding free of charge. That works well for skiers and snowboarders of mixed ability. Summer also brings flotilla and sailing trips around the Mediterranean.

Holidays are booked online or through the UK call centre, and travel agents also sell them. Every holiday is ATOL protected, and Neilson is an ABTA member. Changes and cancellations follow the booking terms, so read them before paying. Check which sports and kids' club ages apply at your chosen resort before booking. Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Direct Debit are accepted.
