Why PerformanceHolidays.com?
We started PerformanceHolidays.com because we got tired of booking hotels that called themselves sport-friendly and arrived to find a dusty exercise bike and a lukewarm pool. Every property here is handpicked for real infrastructure: 50m lap pools, proper bike storage and workshop access, clay courts, coaching, and routes worth getting out of bed for. We cover cycling, triathlon, golf, tennis, padel, swimming and more across Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Austria and beyond.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sports hotel?
A proper sports hotel is built around your sport, not bolted on as an afterthought. We're talking 50m lap pools, secure bike storage with a workshop, on-site coaching, padel or tennis courts, and access to training routes that actually test you. Not a treadmill in a windowless basement. PerformanceHolidays.com only lists hotels that genuinely deliver on this.
Which destinations are best for a sports training holiday?
It depends on your sport. For cycling, Mallorca and Girona are hard to beat, with 1,200km+ of dedicated cycling lanes and a culture built around the bike. Lanzarote is the go-to for triathlon, home to Ironman Lanzarote and warm weather year-round. The Algarve leads for golf, with 40+ courses across a compact stretch of coastline. Tenerife works well across cycling, triathlon and tennis thanks to its reliable climate.
How do you choose which hotels to list?
Every hotel is reviewed and curated by hand. We look for genuine sport infrastructure: real facilities, proximity to good training terrain, and sport-specific services like coaching, guided rides, or nutrition programmes. If a hotel's idea of being cycling-friendly is a bike rack by the car park, it doesn't make the cut.
Can I find sports hotels outside Europe?
Yes, and more are coming. Our catalogue is currently strongest across Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece and Austria, but we are actively expanding worldwide. New properties are added every month.
What sports do you cover?
Cycling, triathlon, golf, tennis, padel, swimming (hotels with proper lap pools), multi-sport resorts, luxury sports hotels, and adults-only sports hotels. Each sport has its own hub page with destination guides, seasonal tips, and hotel listings filtered by the infrastructure that actually matters for that sport.
