Mark Warner Launches new Wingsurfing and Wingfoiling courses for 2024 at Aeolian Village Beach Resort, Lesvos, Greece

Download press release on wingsurfing and wingfoilingNew for 2024, active beach holiday specialists Mark Warner www.markwarner.co.uk, 0845 322 5037 is offering a range of exciting introductory wingsurfing and wingfoiling courses at their newest property, Aeolian Village Beach Resort in Lesvos. Offering an easy way to get out on the water, wingsurfing and wingfoiling are the latest must-try activities for watersports-lovers of all levels. The courses at Aeolian Village include group sessions and private lessons for guests aged 14 years and older, as well as Youth Intro to Wingsurfing for guests aged 10 – 13 years.

Opened in 2023, Mark Warner’s Aeolian Village Beach Resort offers near-perfect conditions for the sports, with great wind and flat water making it an ideal location to learn. Set against a backdrop of mountains, the resort opens directly onto a quiet corner of Eressos beach, a gorgeous sandy bay on southwest coast of Lesvos. As at all Mark Warner resorts, a friendly team of coaches and specialist instructors are on hand to smooth the way. Other watersports include sailing, stand-up paddleboarding, windsurfing and rowing, as well as kayaks, which are ideal to explore the coastline. Guests can choose from making watersports a central focus of the holiday, trying something new, or just dipping in and out of the programmes.

Widely considered to be easier than windsurfing or kiteboarding, both wingsurfing and wingfoiling use a handheld ‘wing’ which has an inflatable leading edge and strut or boom to drive participants along. The wing is free of the board, and the fact that it is hand-held makes it easier to adjust than traditional windsurfing. Wingsurfing uses a plain board or stand-up paddle board and offers the chance to learn and get confident using the wing. No previous experience is required to give wingsurfing a go and once the basics are mastered, the next stage is wingfoiling, which uses a board with a hydrofoil attached to it, giving the impression of ‘flying’ across the water.
Courses available at the resort are as follows:
  • Intro to WingSurfing (3hrs) 14 years upwards, pre bookable, £60 pp.
  • Youth Intro to WingSurfing (3hrs) 10 to 13 years, pre bookable, £40 pp. 
  • Intro to WingSurfing PLUS (3hrs) 10 years upwards, bookable in resort, £60 pp. 
  • Intro to WingFoiling Course (9hrs) 14 years upwards, bookable in resort - £100 pp.
  • WingSurf & WingFoil Private lessons – 1hr – bookable in resort - £50 pp.

Mark Warner teams up with Equal Results to offer personal training sessions across all Greek resorts

Download press release on Personal Training (PT) sessions at the Greek resortsNew for 2024, leading operator Mark Warner (www.markwarner.co.uk, 0845 322 5037) is offering personal training sessions created by London-based PT specialists Equals Results at all four of their Greek resorts.
Ideal for guests who want to keep up their regular workouts whilst on holiday, or for those who are keen to try out a PT experience for the first time, the sessions will be run by expert Mark Warner Fitness Instructors, in conjunction with the team at Equals Results.  Offering a personalised top to bottom workout programme, involving all the major muscle groups, they will combine strength-building exercises with cardio activities.  The 30-minute sessions will be timed to fit in around the huge choice of other activities that Mark Warner offers, from windsurfing and kayaking to tennis, padel and cycling. Prices start at £25 for a 30-minute session, or £70 for a block of three.

Commenting, Browne Bailey, from Equals Results says ‘I’m a big fan of Mark Warner – having holidayed myself with them for many years – and am delighted to be working with them on this new initiative. A holiday is such a great opportunity to reset, take the time to really enjoy your exercise without feeling pressured and set new goals for the future. The daily 30-minute sessions that we are devising – a time that we recommend as the best way to achieve a sustainable fitness programme – are a perfect way for guests either to maintain their existing fitness levels or give our PT sessions a test drive to see if it’s a way of exercise that might work for them.’

Whether guests are looking for an active holiday, or a week on a sun lounger with the odd game of tennis, a Mark Warner holiday offers the perfect balance of stretching their comfort zone on the waves or on two wheels, perfecting their top spin, or just switching off by the pool.

There are four resorts across Greece to choose from - Aeolian Village Beach Resort in Lesvos; Kamari Resort in Rhodes; Lemnos Beach in Lemnos and Paleros Beach Resort on the Ionian coast.
