“Our second trip with this company and every bit as good as the first. The staff are amazing, the hotel comfortable and friendly and great equipment available to take out during the day. If you want an active holiday with teenage kids I couldn’t recommend more highly.”

“I had a fabulous fitness week at the beach club in Lixouri. The staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble and they are super friendly. The accomodation and food offerings were fantastic. I do this trip every year and every year it gets better!”

“Lovely small hotel in Stira with great dining options and bar. Small comfortable rooms although bathrooms could do with a good clean/bit of maintenance! Nice pool, great beach and fantastic availability of equipment. Some beyond beach staff were friendly but some seemed more interested in each other than the guests! Could’ve done with more activities eg yoga, beach volleyball, social activities in evenings etc. Transfer time a nightmare - 6 hours on way out and 3 hours on way back compared to advertised 1.5 hours - be warned if you have young children. Overall a lovely relaxing trip to a wonderful part of the coastline.”

Thank you for your feedback Kate. We are really pleased you all had a great time and a lovely holiday. As already discussed, your arrival transfer problem was an unfortunate combination of events - delayed flights was of course the main issue. We've taken your feedback onboard, and from now on, anyone with a delayed flight will have a private taxi ready straight away on arrival, directly to the club, rather than awaiting the next arrivals for the mini bus. This will ensure the usual transfer time, which has never ever been an issue before. Hope to see you all soon.

“Beyond Beach are beyond fabulous We tried the new club at Stira Bay which exceeded expectations. Wall to wall sunshine and wind kept us cool and busy on and off the water; perfecting our dingy sailing and windsurfing, getting better on the wing - well one of us was! The hotel and facilities are superb with infinity pool, cute bungalow accommodation daily housekeeping and private balconies all overlooking the panoramic sunsets 🌅. The package with BB includes huge range of buffet breakfast items that powered us through the day, inclusive evening meals feature a BBQ on the beach to bond as much or as little with other guests as you like (we are temperate joiner’s inners). Unfortunately as a vegan and pescatarian we threw a spanner in the works but extra veggie options were prepared. The BB team all appear to have their own expertise that they share in formal and informal coaching sessions. It was really windy during our holiday which made us push ourselves and master new things. We also enjoyed the non wind sports like PT led workouts, runs, wild swims and mountain bike sessions. The nearby towns of old and new Styra offered a wide selection of delicious eating places, a 20 min walk or €5 taxi. 🚕 we didn’t try all! We’ve definitely turned our back on self led water sports holidays now we’ve had the VIP beyond beach experience!”

“Just got back from my third sailing holiday in 3 years with Beyond Beach and have already booked next years trip. That’s should give anyone an idea of what I think of Beyond Beach, their staff and the experience they provide. If you are tempted, just commit, you won’t regret it!”

“We had an excellent holiday with Beyond Beach doing the ICC sailing qualification. From the outset, office staff were helpful and efficient. We found our sail training team were helpful, friendly and knew their job and the boats were well equipped and good to sail. Even though the course included an exam it was a relaxed week and gave us renewed confidence. Lixouri is a little gem of a town in a safe sailing area. The holiday compared favourably to other companies in terms of cost. It was all very good and I will be recommending BB to my friends.”

“Learn to sail week. Easy booking, very good communication prior to departure and on arrival day, welcome pack on board of cleaning products/bag of crisps much appreciated. Lots of helpful information about local shops good value restaurants and recommended locations enabled us to settle in very quickly. Knowledgeable and friendly trainers. All very well organised and a very good balance of learning versus holiday time. Thoroughly enjoyed and recommended.”

“We had an amazing week at Stira Bay Beach Club and I honestly cannot wait to rebook. The staff were fantastic from start to finish. Mia was brilliant with the younger guests, Flynn brought great energy every single day, and Ollie was a great guide on the morning paddle - one of our favourite parts of the trip. The hotel itself was gorgeous and the setting was just incredible - the kind of place that instantly makes you feel relaxed. The BBQs were delicious! And the food available at the pool bar and Taverna meant we never went hungry. The conditions throughout the week were great for all sports and abilities. Whether you were just starting out or more experienced, there was always something to do. The equipment available was top-notch and well maintained. One of our party had some fantastic bike rides with Ben and couldn’t speak more highly of the experience. We also took time to explore the local area and really enjoyed the nearby town. A highlight was a fantastic dinner in “old” Styra – full of charm and amazing food. When we weren’t out on the water or getting active, we loved lounging around the pool between activities. It was the perfect balance of action and relaxation, and there was genuinely something for everyone. I’ve seen some negative reviews mentioning the wind, but honestly, that feels a bit unfair. It’s like going skiing and complaining that the lifts are shut due to too much snow. It’s part of being in nature, and it didn’t take away from our experience at all. We’ve travelled with Neilson before but found Beyond Beach to be so much more personal. We loved that everything was on a smaller scale – it meant we got to know the staff and they got to know us, which made for a much better and more meaningful experience. We don’t usually go back to the same place twice, but this is going to be the exception. We had an incredible time and can’t wait to return.”
