THERE ARE ACTIVE HOLIDAYS. AND THERE'S A NEILSON ACTIVE HOLIDAY.
There aren't many companies where 7 out of 10 of our guests return to relive the experience again, and again. Mind you, there aren't many holiday companies like Neilson. In part it's because we're in some of Europe's most beautiful locations. All our activities are inclusive, likewise the delicious, locally sourced food.
And in part it's because of how a Neilson holiday makes you feel.
Our holidays are a unique alchemy; the enthusiasm of amazing guests and the dedication of equally amazing staff; a willingness to give it a go now and have a laugh about it later. We call it Good Energy and you'll feel it the moment you walk into any of our resorts.
WHY CHOOSE US
IT'S WHAT WE DO
It's an atmosphere really. A sort of collective goodwill. A spirit of positive intent that encourages you to enjoy your thing in your way. Hit the surf or the sun lounger, it's all good.
If you're trying it for the first time, you're in a safe space to make a fool of yourself. If you're good and you want to be really good, we can totally help with that.
No worries. No judgements. No rules (apart from the unwritten one about trying to not take yourself too seriously).
This is Good Energy and you are very welcome to be part of it.

The Secret sauce
When guests feed back on the things they most love about a Neilson holiday, top of the list is the warmth and enthusiasm of our team. And who are we to argue? They are all hand-picked and we think they rock. Mixing your cocktail or helping to improve your tennis swing, they give a damn - and that matters. Because, while many things make a good holiday, only people can generate good energy.
Guaranteed 100% Neilson
We’ll let you into a little industry secret. With most holiday companies you are staying in a hotel run by someone else’s team. We don’t do that. Most of the resort teams are employed directly by us, returning year after year. And where we work with partners, we make sure they totally get the Neilson way and have orange blood too! So, the benefit to you is a better, more consistent experience. Like our teams, it’s the reason so many of our customers come back each year.
Kids actually want to be in
Bored kids do not create good energy. Which is why we run a wide range of narrow age-band clubs for kids aged from 2 to 17. (Babies are also welcome for a small supplement.)
Each club is run by a qualified and experienced team who over the years have devised myriad cunning ways to keep young bodies and minds occupied, whether 2, 12 or 17, going on 27.
On a Neilson holiday, boredom is simply not a thing.
Kicking back
You'll find things pretty relaxed at Neilson. Okay, most of us tend to spruce up a bit for dinner, but overly formal isn't our style. If you want to enjoy your sundowner in your boardshorts, that's totally fine with us.
And let's talk about good food. Because goodness knows, you earned it after paddle boarding halfway across the Mediterranean today.
Ours is all fresh and locally sourced. Breakfasts fit for champions. Lunches to keep you going all afternoon. And dinners to linger over as you relive that herculean paddle boarding effort.
40 years of Cosmos Beach Club
For thousands of guests, Cosmos has been the backdrop to some of their favourite holiday memories. And for Neilson, it’s been part of our story for an incredible 40 years!
It all started back in 1986, when Vassiliki was still a sleepy fishing village. Since then, it’s grown into one of the Med’s most iconic windsurfing destinations – with Cosmos and Neilson sharing the journey along the way.
We can’t wait to celebrate 40 years together with Stelios and the team. Keep checking back as we share more from this fantastic milestone.
