For fitness fans, the idea of a lazy beach holiday can be pretty disconcerting, especially if you’re used to regular workouts and are keen to not let your fitness levels drop while you’re away. But instead of resigning yourself to a week of enforced relaxation, why not try an activity holiday?

These breaks allow you to get away from it all, while still indulging in your favourite sports, and best of all you’ll probably end up meeting loads of new people too. With this in mind, we’ve put together our top health and fitness breaks for 2012, so get ready for the most energetic holiday of your life.

Active in Spain

Holidays to Spain are not usually known for intense activity, but if you know where to look then you could end up on the hike of your life. Tenerife has a number of walks for all abilities, particularly through Teide, the island’s national park and home to a fantastic variety of wildlife.

Confident hikers could also try El Teide mountain, although note that the height of the peak (over 12,000 feet) can induce strong altitude sickness. After a long day of walking, make sure to book into a hotel with an excellent spa to help you recuperate, the Costa Adeje Gran Hotel is a great option for those who like to be pampered, offering massage and treatment rooms for all guests.

Staying fit in the Caribbean

If you fancy yourself as a bit of a water baby, why not try a resort that offers plenty of swimming? The Caribbean is known for having excellent waters, particularly for any first-timers who are keen to avoid overly choppy waves. Many tour operatives also offer guided swims around the most beautiful areas, while some will even take you between islands for a real taste of the Caribbean. The swim between the British and US Virgin Islands is known for being particularly challenging, although you may have to prove your skills as a swimmer before a guide will take you on this one.

One problem with taking an activity break is that your companions may not be as enthusiastic at the idea. One way of solving this is to find a hotel that offers plenty of energetic daily excursions, as well as big swimming pools and a well-stocked gym. That way, you can still pack plenty into the break, while they enjoy a relaxing time by the pool. The Gran Hotel Bali in Benidorm is a great option, with a large, 24-hour gym, massage therapists and sauna to really keep your fitness regime on track.

Wherever you choose to go, the satisfaction of pushing your body and trying new things is often greater than if you had relaxed on the beach all day. Given that many people let the diet slip while on holiday, indulging in their favourite foods, getting plenty of exercise is also a good way of not ruining your hard-earned bikini body. All you have to do now is book your break – and dig out those trainers.

Fuerteventura ©michaeltk/Flickr

When it comes to a successful holiday, the failsafe winning formula, more often than not, contains sun, sea and sand. If these are the key ingredients for your dream holiday, than there are several destinations that comfortably meet your criteria, while saving a pretty penny or two.

One such place is the Spanish island of Fuerteventura. A particularly bright jewel in the Canary Island‘s crown, this vibrant area has activities and attractions to suit people of all tastes and persuasions.

Top of the list of enticements are the beaches. Golden and black volcanic sands stretch for miles around this beautiful island, creating a picturesque environment to equal anywhere in the world.

Fuerteventura vacation

Whether you’re looking to enjoy a seaside cocktail in the main town of Corralejo or travel to somewhere a bit more secluded to relax and soak up the rays, there are bays and beaches for all occasions.

Windsurfing lessons are available for beginners and equipment hire is on offer for those with a little more expertise, while the chance to kite surf is an opportunity not to be missed. Kayaking is a further water adventure available and the tips around the coast are one of the best ways of exploring and enjoying the stunning views Fuerteventura has to offer.

Whatever you choose to do on your holiday, do it all at your own pace by booking a stay in one of the many luxurious villas. Available at surprisingly and pleasingly low prices, staying in a villa provides you with the perfect base for the entire length of your stay. With a villa, you are able to create your own home from home, a personal haven that can truly become your own personal space.

Where to stay in Spain

Villa rentals are free of many of the constraints and limitations that afflict and frustrate other holidaymakers. Those who choose to stay in a villa don’t have their holiday impacted by opening times and officious hotel staff, nor do they have to be up by a certain time for breakfast. Furthermore, they are free to eat what they like when they like, without feeling like they are wasting money by not dining in the hotel restaurant.

With so much to do in Fuerteventura, you’ll want to make the most of every available second. Aside from the beaches, the island itself boasts a dazzling array of attractions. The Oasis Park Zoo in La Lajita houses an incredible array of animals and is well worth a visit. Hippos, giraffes, elephants, crocodiles and baboons are just some of the inhabitants on hand to greet you, while the presence of over 200 species will ensure your visit is a noisy and colourful one! The sea-lion show is simply not to be missed, though the reptile equivalent is only for the brave!

Things to do

Elsewhere, an excursion to the intriguing volcanic island of Lobos offers considerable rewards for your endeavours. Kayak out there before idling through the enchanting lagoons and marvelling at the marine life and quaint fishing villages. The submarine safari is another way to enjoy everything about life under the sea in Fuerteventura.

For a close up look at one of nature’s most fascinating and enchanting creatures, head off on an unforgettable dolphin safari. Finally, no place like this is complete without a land of wet adventures and Baku Water Park more than lives up to expectations.

Villas in Spain and its remarkable island outlets are perfect in terms of allowing you to plan your holiday itinerary exactly as you would like. Whether you wish to organize every moment or simply go with the flow, a villa holiday is the right choice every time.
