Beach Clubs
Wakeboarding at Feel Viana, Portugal
Cable tow park at the Feel Viana watersports centre. Beginner-friendly and a novelty on a BeyondBeach holiday. Sessions bookable on arrival.
Wakeboarding holidays with BeyondBeach.
Wakeboarding at Feel Viana runs on a cable tow park rather than behind a boat, which makes it far easier to learn and far cheaper to repeat. A cable pulls you along a fixed circuit, so you get run after run without waiting for a driver, a boat or your turn.
Why a cable park is the easy way in
Boat wakeboarding gives you one attempt every few minutes and an audience for each of them. On a cable you are back at the start within a minute, which is the single biggest reason people get up on a board here having failed elsewhere. The pull is smooth and predictable, and falling off costs you nothing but the walk back round.
The centre keeps boards and impact vests in a full range of sizes, and the coaches are used to putting complete beginners up on their first run.
Booking a session
Wakeboarding sits outside the Active Pack, so sessions are booked and paid for at the watersports centre when you arrive rather than being included in the week. Most guests take a session or two alongside the surfing and biking rather than building the whole week around it.
Where it sits in the week
It is the novelty on a BeyondBeach holiday, and that is the point. Feel Viana already gives you Atlantic surf, reliable wind for windsurfing and wingsurfing, bikes and a spa. The cable park is the thing guests try on a whim and then go back to twice more before the week is out.

Call the team on 01548 288459 Mon-Fri 9am-6pm or Sat 9am-1pm, or send an enquiry from any holiday page. We talk you through availability, dates and extras, email a written quote, and you confirm with a deposit. No online cart , every booking has a human on our side of it.
Deposits are typically 25% of the holiday cost at time of booking, with the balance due eight weeks before departure. Flights pay in full at booking. Your written quote spells out the exact figures and dates before you pay anything.
Flights are quoted alongside the holiday rather than bundled, so you only pay for the routing that works for you. We'll match flights to your preferred dates from your preferred UK airport, or if you'd rather book your own flights we can work around your schedule.
Yes. Our weeks run Saturday to Saturday by default but we can extend, combine two weeks back-to-back (flotilla followed by a beach-club week is a favourite), or add a pre- or post-holiday night somewhere. Mention it when you enquire and we will build the itinerary.
UK debit and credit card (no surcharge on debit), bank transfer, or Trust My Travel for protected payments. We do not accept cash. Card payments are processed by Stripe and never stored by us.
Yes, and we rarely charge for it if there is time before departure. Name changes, room upgrades, adding a child, swapping a cabin , tell us what you need. Some supplier charges (flight name changes, for example) are unavoidable but we'll quote those upfront.
Yes, and families are a big part of what we do. Beach clubs have free kids watersports from age six, the Alpine Family Club runs a kids club from 6 months to 16 years, and ski school programmes teach in English from age three. Cots, high chairs and interconnecting rooms are available on request.
Absolutely. Singles Sailing is purpose-built for solo travellers (no single supplement , you'll share a cabin with another solo sailor). On beach club weeks, yoga and BlitzFitness are especially popular with solo bookers, and we waive the single supplement on most weeks outside July and August school holidays.
Yes. Intro to Sailing is designed for complete beginners , no experience needed. Every beach club has coached clinics included daily and RYA-qualified instruction at the watersports centre. Ski school teaches English from Day One green-runs up. We'll match you to the right level on arrival.
Yes. West Coast Flotilla and Yacht Charter are aimed squarely at sailors with miles under the keel. Val Thorens and the Three Valleys cover expert-level off-piste with a guide. We'll discuss your experience at the quote stage so the week matches your expectations.
No. Our clubs are all-inclusive but not all-you-can-eat , a lot of guests use one activity a day and spend the rest of the time reading by the pool. The programme is a menu, not a timetable. You decide what you do.
Let's talk it through. We've all been there.
Every person in our UK office has stayed at the holiday you're looking at. Ask anything: which week is best, what to pack, which flight saves you a connection.
Chat with us or send an enquiry, or call if you'd rather. No call centres, no scripts, no upsell. Just honest advice from people who genuinely run these holidays.
