Taking a holiday is a great way to relax and unwind. However, this doesn’t mean you have to forgo your workout routine and laze on the beach all day. Active travellers looking to get away and recharge themselves can maintain an active lifestyle on holiday – it all depends on where you stay. Instead of spending all your time in a hotel gym, why not work up a sweat while exploring the surroundings? Majorca is a great destination for athletes, with beautiful landscapes, some of the best cycling routes in Europe, and pristine beaches. Here are some of the best hotels in Majorca for active travellers:
- SportHotel Villaconcha
SportHotel Villaconcha in Puerto Pollensa is a great hotel for travellers interested in swimming and watersports. With four swimming pools (including a 25 m heated pool with six lanes), and its prime location near the beach, you can easily get your blood pumping. The white sand beaches and clear, calm waters of Puerto Pollensa make it great for swimming, watersports, and taking a run on the soft sands. After a long and hard day of training you can recover in the spa – the hotel’s massage team is specialised in sports massages, ensuring a speedy muscle recovery.
