Optional Active pack – only £495 pp

Active Pack guests have the following inclusive activities, available daily from our nearby RYA recognised watersports centre at our beach club Lixouri Bay.

Active packs are optional, which works well for families who are looking for different things on holiday.

Extras available to book locally

Safety always

Each Active Pack guest is required to undertake our “Safety Chat”, which takes place on the 1st morning of your holiday, at the beach.

RYA Training Centre Logo

Safety on the water is of course our first priority. Fully qualified RYA instructors run the beach operation and are vigilant both on the beach, and on the water in our registered rescue craft with handheld VHF radios, always working to strict safety ratios and other proven guidelines. Mandatory buoyancy aids, restricted sailing areas, sign in/out and a compulsory “safety clinic” at the start of the week are just some of the many things we do and are included in both watersports memberships.

Who’s it for ?

BB’s take…

“Villa Club is great for all ages really . Dip in and out of the action at our members-only beach club and meet lots of other like-minded families. More independence with a self-catering villa for those who like to take advantage of spacious accommodation and your own pool. We can even have daily breakfast deliveries to your villa for a small supplement. Great club vibe for those who like to mingle also and the inclusive welcome drinks on the 1st evening always goes down well”.

Families

It’s amazing for families.  We don’t run specific kids clubs or child care, however, our friendly beach team do all they can to get everyone on the water with group tuition sessions open to all ages and kids specific watersports sessions available through the week which get them making friends and having fun on the water.

kit list icon

Kit list at the Club

We have a fantastic range of 1st class kit from RS Sailing, Starboard, RDD, Fat Stick and Severne to name a few. Pre-booking isn’t needed, just wander down and off you go. We also have safety boats ready to go, and a full range of buoyancy aids for security. Here’s a selection of what we might have rigged and ready for you on the beach.

Sailing boats

  • 2 to 4 person dinghy

    RS Quest

    A fast modern 2 to 4 person dinghy with features that move the game forward. Big enough for an instructor and 2 or 3 pupils – perfect for Mum or Dad and youngsters – small enough to handle easily ashore and afloat. Durable roto-moulded polyethylene construction – space and stability – reefing, asymmetric spinnaker, trapeze, stowage and a host of other options. It’s not easy to make it all work but RS development team have nailed it on this boat.

  • Single-hander boat

    RS Neo

    A single-hander with a sparkling performance, easy handling and real durability, the RS Neo delivers maximum reward for minimum hassle. A step-up in speed without the demands of more radical designs. The RS Neo is accessible, exciting and great for a sail around the bay.

  • Compact boat for 2 or single-handing

    RS Zest

    The brand new compact boat that delivers more crew space and practical, enjoyable features than older generation rivals. Class-leading space for two sailors, yet small enough for convenient single-handing. This is a boat to get you onto the water and into the wonderful world of sailing – no hassle – no end to the fun.

  • 1 – 3 person

    RS CAT 14

    This boat takes the enjoyment and handling associated with beach cats to a new level. Stiffness and balance defy the cost-effective durability of the RS CAT14’s construction – making the boat perfect, not only for training and recreational sailing but also as a true performance pathway class. We’re excited – and we think you will be too.

  • 2 -3 person

    RS 500

    The RS 500 is a high-performance vessel, only available at Lixouri Bay Beach Club. It’s a fast and exciting trapeze double hander, used in world championship racing so it’s a vessel for intermediate to advanced levels only.

Paddle boards

  • The world’s most popular inflatable SUP

    Red Paddle Co. 10’6 RID

    If you could only ever have one Red Paddle Co board, the Ride 10’6” is the one we’d tell you to ride – it’s already the world’s most popular inflatable SUP, perfect on clear blue, glassy Greek seas for a little or big explore.

  • The ultimate group paddle experience

    Red Paddle Co. 17’0” XL RIDE

    Go big or go home with our largest board. Everyone can get involved with this giant inflatable SUP.

    Who is it for? Groups of kids, adults a whole family can fit….. Good fun for everyone! Just grab some paddles and head out into the sailing area

Windsurfing boards

  • Red Paddle Co. 17’0” XL RIDE

    Go big or go home with our largest board. Everyone can get involved with this giant inflatable SUP.

    Who is it for? Groups of kids, adults a whole family can fit….. Good fun for everyone! Just grab some paddles and head out into the sailing area

  • Severne Sails – Convert

    The Convert is a fully-featured freeride sail. Range from 4-7m. An obvious choice for any progressing windsurfer, the Convert is purpose-built to be easy to use. Weight is kept to a minimum, boom lengths are short and down-haul tensions are reduced for easier rigging and nice, soft handling characteristics.

  • Windsurf – Starboard Rio

    These are the boards that cover learning, progressing and planing for the first time. They are considered all-rounders because they are equally good at providing stability for beginners to learn and providing power for progressing windsurfers to get planing smoothly. Once planing, the Rios feel responsive and fun. These qualities also make the Rio the number one choice for dozens of schools and centres.

  • Starboard – Go

    Get going on the perfect board. The iconic and irreplaceable GO boards: the progressive boards for improving beginners to advanced windsurfing. The perfect first board that helps you advance from your first steps to fully planing, carve jibing.

Foil boards

  • 2 to 4 person dinghy

    Starboard – foil

    Flying over the sea without a sound, zipping along silently close to thirty knots. What could be more fun? The Foil 122 is a plug and play freeride foil board: thin for maximum foil control, with 100% sharp rail edges for early planing and a clean water release even when touching down. It is designed purely as a foil board.

    Foil boards are only available at Lixouri Bay Beach Club 

    Click here for more info about foil boarding

Kayaks

  • 2 to 4 person dinghy

    Sit on kayaks

    Having two seats, the popular Bay 2 Kayak also allows the transport of a child in the central seat. Easy to carry and with excellent stability.

Here are some options to check out in the local area:

  • A sunset meal at one of the best beaches in the Greek islands is also a must. Petani beach and tavernas. Only a 20 minute drive from our villas this place is incredible – get there early for a swim and settle down for a wonderful eating experience.
  • Head into town and Lixouri square, 5 minutes drive from our villas or taxi (1 taxi for 4 people is ~€10 one way). A wonderful place to watch the world go by with countless cafes, tavernas and bars. Whatever you do, don’t miss the best ice cream in the world at “I-Scream” – it’s divine and we love it!
  • Lepeda Beach – this taverna on the beach is, in our opinion, the best place to eat freshly prepared Greek food all day long.
  • Apolafsi Complex – a local favourite serving delicious local and international dishes.
  • Xi Beach – funky beach bars, water skiing and some great tavernas.
