While we ensure financial protection for your booking, we strongly recommend that you arrange suitable travel and/or sports insurance for yourself and your party before travelling overseas.

Can I join your holidays if I’m travelling solo?
Absolutely! Many of our guests travel solo, and our holidays are designed to be welcoming and social. We can offer or help match you with another solo traveller if you'd prefer to share. It’s a great way to meet like-minded people and enjoy a friendly, inclusive atmosphere.
-
Can I travel with someone who isn’t playing?
Yes, non-playing partners and family members are more than welcome! They can relax and enjoy all the resort facilities while you take part in the sports programme. We’re happy to tailor the package to suit both players and non-players to ensure everyone has a great holiday.

Do I need to attend every session?
Not at all. While we encourage you to join as many sessions as you’d like to get the most from your holiday, it’s completely up to you. If you're feeling tired, achy, or unwell, feel free to take a break and rest—your wellbeing comes first. Whether you want to play all day or unwind by the pool, the choice is entirely yours.
