Families
Kids club from 6 months, family-geared accommodation, watersports and ski school that runs in English.

BeyondBeach has been running small-group active holidays across Greece, Portugal and France since 2001, and sailing in the Ionian since the seventies. The programme is thirteen weeks across four shapes: beach clubs on the Greek and Portuguese coast, flotilla sailing from Kefalonia, alpine summers in Vaujany and catered ski chalets in the French Alps.
Every holiday is hand-run by our team in South Devon, ATOL protected since day one, and built for families, couples and solo travellers who want a proper active week rather than a lounger by a pool. Watersports kit, sailing tuition, guided walks, kids-club places and coached fitness classes are included in the price. Flights, ski passes and equipment hire sit alongside so you only pay for what you need.
Each category runs to a different rhythm. Pick the one that fits your week, then drill in for the specifics.
Beach ClubsAll-inclusive beach clubs with free watersports, yoga and BlitzFitness across Greece and Portugal. Kefalonia and Evia face into reliable thermal winds in the Ionian and Aegean; Cabedelo on the Portuguese Atlantic adds surf, SUP and kite to the line-up. Kit, tuition and a coached class every day are in the price.
All beach clubs holidays
SailingSmall-fleet flotilla sailing in the Ionian since 1972, plus yacht charter, RYA-recognised tuition weeks and a dedicated singles week. Sheltered water, a lead skipper on every flotilla, and evenings in quiet harbours you could not find on a larger operator's list.

Small company, family-run, based in South Devon. A real programme put together by people who have been on it.
Our weeks are put together by people who have been on them. The team that wrote the Kefalonia Flotilla itinerary sailed that route in the eighties. The person who picked Feel Viana for our Cabedelo programme booked herself in as a guest first. The chalet host in Val Thorens has been there for seventeen seasons. None of that is marketing copy: it's how we've always run the company.
A BeyondBeach holiday is all-in on one activity without being exclusively so. Beach-club guests come for the watersports but half their day is quiet reading by the pool. Our flotilla sailors come to learn to sail but the afternoon anchors usually end with a long swim. Alpine family-club parents swap watch with the mountain-biking programme. It's an active week, not a schedule you follow.
Everything you'd expect to pay extra for is in the price: windsurfing kit, SUP tuition, flotilla lead-boat support, guided mountain walks, lift-assisted biking, the kids club. Flights, ski passes and equipment hire sit alongside rather than bundled in because they depend on where you're flying from and what kit you need. No upsells. No per-session charges. No surprises when you turn up.
We're small. Thirteen weeks across three countries, one programme director, one sailing team, one ski ops lead. You'll speak to the same person twice. You'll hear from us when plans change. And you'll almost certainly book again — half our guest list is returning customers, and many of them came first as kids.
Hotel & Spa Le Mottaret: a ski-in, ski-out half-board hotel in Méribel-Mottaret with spa, outdoor jacuzzi, indoor pool and a 5-course buffet dinner every evening. Part of the Three Valleys (600km). Family-friendly, fireplace lounge, board games built into the tables.
No call-centre hand-offs, no online cart. The person you talk to on enquiry is the person who quotes you, books you and takes your call mid-week.
“By the end of the week I was sailing independently. Life-changing isn't an understatement.”
Every combination of country and holiday type lives at its own keyword-rich landing page. Useful for narrowing down when you already know the shape of week you want.
One of the best beach holidays I have had for many years. My son and I have a regular annual sailing holiday and this was superb. The place is extremely well managed by Hugo and Local Greek family and it really does feel like you are staying with friends, highly recommended
Just returned from another learn to sail, excellent tuition from Shirley ,used this company for many years now and always a good experience. Hope to return next year for yacht delivery and a flotilla.
Wonderful holiday in a beautiful location.Friendly, competent staff, many activities on offer, very good safety support for all water sports. Would love to see Optimists introduced for younger children learning to sail!
Accommodation (beach-club hotel, chalet, yacht or catered hotel), transfers in resort, and all signature activities for that holiday: watersports at the clubs, lead-boat support on flotilla, guided walks and lift-assisted biking in Vaujany summer, half-board or catered evenings in ski. Flights, ski passes and equipment hire are bookable alongside rather than bundled.
Flights are bookable alongside the holiday but not bundled into the headline price, so you only pay for what you need. We work with most UK departure airports and can sort transfers from your arrival airport. Ring 01548 288459 and the team will match flights to your preferred dates.
Call us on 01548 288459 Mon-Fri 9am-6pm or Sat 9am-1pm, or send an enquiry from any holiday page. The team talks you through availability, dates and extras, emails a written quote, and you confirm with a deposit. No online cart: we want to make sure the right week meets the right people.
Absolutely. Most of our holidays run on Saturday-to-Saturday weeks but we can extend, combine two weeks back-to-back (a twin-centre sailing + beach-club is one of our favourite combinations), or add a pre- or post-holiday night in a nearby city. Mention it when you enquire and we'll build the itinerary.
Every holiday is ATOL protected so your booking is financially secure. We also carry IPP insolvency cover. Cancellation terms vary by holiday and how close to the start date you cancel: our team walks you through the specific policy when you book, and we strongly recommend travel insurance with cancellation cover.
A small, family-run active-holiday company based in South Devon. We've been running the same core programme since 2001; sailing since the seventies. Most of the team has been on these holidays personally. You'll speak to the same people when you book as when you have a question mid-week.
Every person in our South Devon 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.
No call centres, no scripts, no upsell. Just honest advice from people who genuinely run these holidays.
