A Guide to Skanes Holidays

Sightsee on a Felucca

Sightsee on a Felucca

Appreciate the gorgeous coastline as you drift away from shore on the shining decks of a felucca sailboat. Soak up the sun’s rays as you sail along the horizon and look back to the shore, trying to spot your hotel from the sea. Take a dip in the ocean to cool off a little, before heading back to dryland.

Exciting Activities

You may not need to venture far from your hotel’s little piece of beach to enjoy the water activities on offer here. Enjoy an action-packed afternoon whizzing across the sea on jet-skis or soaking up the scenery on a pedalo. If you’d prefer to enjoy something a little more thrilling, try paragliding!/p>
