Watersports Holidays Europe

Say hello to a watersports holiday where you can sail on, ride high, and dive in. Mark Warner resorts are made for exhilarating watersports moments.

In fact, nothing makes us happier than delivering unforgettable experiences on the ocean. That’s why our beach resorts are handpicked for their ideal locations and weather conditions. And why our first class, experienced instructors are always on hand to help you achieve new things and stay safe.

At all of our beach resorts, we offer free tuition in windsurfing and sailing, together with all the latest equipment to suit every ability. And, if you are already accomplished in your chosen watersport, you are welcome to take to the water independently. Or, you can hone your skills further via one of our accredited sailing and windsurfing courses or one-to-one private tuition.

Family Watersports Holidays

At Mark Warner, kids get in on the action, too. Children booked into our childcare—that includes the Junior, Kidz and Indy clubs—get to take part in free watersports lessons from sailing, windsurfing, stand-up paddle boarding to kayaking alongside their new friends which means if you’re looking for an excellent family watersport holiday that everyone can enjoy, you’ve come to the right place. 

The waterfront is open in all resorts every day except on transfer days. Check out the range of sports on offer as part of our watersports holidays below.
