Surf Hotel Beach Club

The Resort

Vassiliki has all the ingredients for the perfect beach holiday. As well as being a top watersports destination, it’s surrounded by jaw-dropping beaches, stunning coastal walks and epic mountain ranges. It’s a huge hit each year with families and couples alike who want to relax and play.

Vassiliki is one of the finest active sports resorts in Europe and an absolute must-visit for everyone from novice windsurfer to expert sailor.

It’s a fantastic windsurfing resort - catering for all levels - and our coaches can make sure you leave us with new skills under your belt. We also offer tuition for beginner to intermediate dinghy sailors, while more experienced dinghy sailors are able to freesail in Vassiliki.

Vass is unique in that it is also surrounded by beautiful beaches, stunning coastal walks, hills, mountains, cultural sites and olive groves, all of which means it provides some of the best walking and mountain biking in Greece.

There’s as much to do off the water as in it! Take one of our bikes into the hills around Vass and discover it for yourself - we even provide guided rides if you just want to switch off and pedal! Boat trips, island-hopping to Cephalonia, wine tours and scooter rental are also all at your fingertips.

Perfect for all the family

We pride ourselves on being a big hit with families, so it’s understandable that our flagship centre in Vassiliki attracts lots of children during the school holidays. We make sure they have a great time: kids love our free Active Kids Clubs for ‘Sea Urchins’ and ‘Tigers’ from 4 to 13 years.

Our excellent Youth Squad is a dedicated RYA coaching programme for 8-13 year olds that’s great for budding sailors and windsurfers. We offer coaching for older teens too, as well as a social club where they can hang out and make new friends over games of beach volleyball and frisbee.

Vassiliki itself is the perfect spot for kids to get to grips with the water. The gentle conditions in the bay each morning ensure everyone gets more than enough water-time, and the waist-deep teaching area and sand bar means it’s ideal for kids to learn sailing, windsurfing and paddle sports in warm, clear waters.

The short transfer from the airport (always popular with little travellers!) and the sheer range of kids’ activities on offer make this a great club for families. Our kids clubs will introduce kids to water sports as well as a whole heap of fun and (slightly crazy) shore based activities run by our expert childcare leaders. They’re designed to give kids a sociable time whilst learning new experiences and making the most of the local area.

If you’re travelling with babies or toddlers don't forget to ask about our baby packs with cots and high chairs. There's a crèche and kids play area where you can make feeds, warm milk and play with your toddlers. You'll also appreciate our range of interconnecting and family rooms.

For the social

If you prefer the idea of a more sociable club-style holiday where you’ll meet lots of great people, super-friendly staff, an active Kids Club as well as beach fitness classes and lots going on from dawn ‘til dusk…then look no further.

Of course, you can choose to be as sociable as you like, and you can always get away from it all and visit many of the area’s local beauty spots, secluded beaches, culture sites or go on a walk, a bike ride or island-hop to Cephalonia or Ithaca.
