Levante Beach Club

Levante Beach Club on the Greek island of Rhodes is modern and contemporary, with fantastic facilities for all activities. With an enviable location on a long stretch of sand and pebble beach, it enjoys a prime spot for all watersports, mainly sailing and windsurfing.

The Neilson team will be running the extensive watersports, cycling, tennis and fitness programme at Levante, and our excellent childcare team will be on hand to look after your children in our kids’ clubs. Our partners, Powered by Playitas, run the hotel and hospitality side. We share the club with like-minded guests from Sweden and Denmark and have half the rooms.

If fitness is your thing, you'll love the classes and training facilities at Levante with a large choice of daily classes, an air-conditioned gym with fixed and free weights, work out of the day, indoor studio classes, a large, shaded outdoor fitness platform and a 'cool pool' to start the recovery - so you're ready to go again the next day. The tennis facilities are also excellent with 6 courts, including a show court, 2 padel tennis courts and a bar for refreshments.

The real wow factor at Levante has to be the 6 swimming pools, including a huge free-form family pool, sports pool and adult-only pool. Whether you’re looking for a quiet spot to relax or space to put in some laps, it’s easy to find your place for a little ‘me’ time.

With so much going on, we understand why you may find it hard to leave the Beach Club, but if you want to explore, you should 100% sign up for a guided bike ride to discover the sights of the local area. Rhodes itself is steeped in history, and the whitewashed, car-free village of Lindos with an acropolis is close by.

After a day on the water, bikes or tennis courts, the beachfront bar is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the stunning sunsets before heading for dinner in our restaurant or a local taverna. And, at the end of a busy day, you'll enjoy returning to the modern, understated bedrooms with large private balconies or terraces. Why not make it extra special and book 1 of our premium suites, each with its private pool.

Launching from the beach, sailors will love the large sailing area and consistent winds. We offer inclusive dinghy sailing tuition for all abilities from our expert team 6 days a week. Beginners make the most of the light, morning winds and will follow the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Start Sailing programme.

The wind tends to pick up in the afternoons and for our intermediate and advanced dinghy sailors, we offer RYA Level 2 plus a range of clinics on Asymmetric’s, Lasers and Catamarans. Races and an end-of-week regatta are the perfect way to put your skills to the test.

Equipment: Laser Dart 16, Laser Bahia, Topper Argo, Laser Pico, Laser 1

Levante Beach Club is an excellent destination for all windsurfers – whatever their ability. Mornings are perfect for our beginner tuition sessions, with light morning winds and a calm sea, all of which make for an excellent learning and teaching environment. 

Intermediate and advanced windsurfers will love the windy afternoons when we get some excellent conditions for blasting across the large bay. Windsurfing tuition follows the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) teaching scheme, so you'll progress safely and with fun. If you're after a few pointers, sign up for the group sessions with one of the team. They'll advise you of the right group for your level.

If your focus is windsurfing, you’re confident in foot straps and harness, and you fancy a new challenge, sign up for our wind foiling course. Exclusive to Levante, you’ll be learning your foiling skills with a maximum of 4 other people.
‘First flights’ provides a basic introduction to foiling over 2 hours on the water and an hour theory and can be pre-booked for £89 per person.

Any subsequent weeks will be charged at a supplement of €100 per person (subject to availability, book and pay locally). When not being used for the courses, foiling equipment can be used by guests with previous experience on a first-come-first-served basis for a supplement (book and pay locally).

If you’re going to be spending a lot of time behind the boat, why not pre-book the premium pack? Your daily session with our ski coaches will enable you to learn or progress your skills. The team will try to book your slots when the conditions are best so you can get the most out of every session. The premium pack will also give you enough time to try a bit of everything, you’ll get 6 15-minute tows for just £175 per person.

Non-sailors can get out on the water in a kayak and can even join an organised kayak safari or try paddle boarding, a relaxing way to get in the water and a great addition to any fitness programme. You are welcome to go kayaking at any time that the beach is open but must remain in the sailing area and our instructors are always on hand if you need some pointers.

Equipment: Gemini single and double sit-on-top kayaks; Red Paddle Co paddle boards (10'8") and XXL paddle board (8 person).

The island of Rhodes is a paradise for cyclists with an excellent network of lovely cycling routes to suit all abilities. Road cyclists will love the smooth tarmac roads with long gentle climbs, equally long descents and plenty of steep climbs. Combined with very little traffic and inspiring views Rhodes is right up there with the best of our road cycling destinations.

The mountain biking is just as good with beautiful coastal routes, quiet rural roads, rocky paths and dry riverbeds, fruit orchards, olive groves, sleepy villages, craggy mountain ranges and swathes of cypress and pine trees.

There are several guided rides each day; intermediate and challenging rides tend to leave early to make the most of the cooler mornings before the sun reaches its highest. Easier rides tend to be shorter, along the flat ground where possible and leave late afternoon.

We include daily breakfast and lunch plus 4 evening meals per week. All of the inclusive meals are served in the ‘Amalthia’ restaurant which has indoor and outdoor dining spaces. For breakfast, expect pastries, cereals, Greek yoghurt and honey, cold meats, eggs, pancakes, fruit and freshly squeezed juices, there really is something to tempt just about everybody. Lunch and evening meals feature Greek and Mediterranean inspired dishes using plenty of locally sourced produce.

For your non-inclusive meals try 1 of the many traditional Greek tavernas in the local town or if you prefer to relax a little close to home, head over to our pool-side snack bar (open until 6 pm) or Greek taverna.

With a beach bar, tennis bar, sports bar and lobby bar you’re spoilt for choice over where to enjoy your next cocktail or refreshing cold drink!
