Active Holiday

When imagining a seaside holiday in Puglia, most people will think of relax, of doing nothing all day, of spending entire days by the pool and in the private beach, in general of all the best chances for complete rest after all your efforts.

However, some people will also make the most of their holiday to keep fit, or use their time off to approach new sports or catch up with their training.

So here are some suggestions for anyone looking for an active holiday, to be enjoyed in our 4 star hotel with swimming pool in Vieste.

Kite surfing

Chasing a kite on the water...
Thanks to our entertainment staff and to the instructors you will meet here at Hotel Melograni you will be able to get to know this sport, which is already all the rage abroad. Kite surfing can be seen as an intriguing mix of traditional surfing and wind surf, with the exciting variation of the kite.
That’s right: a large kite acts something like a sail, pulling you across the sea thanks to the wind’s kinetic pressure.

Trekking

Enjoy the mountain tops, by the sea
In the Foresta Umbra, as well as directly in the Baia degli Aranci park - 11 hectares of nature inside which our hotel by the Gargano sea can be found - there is no lack of possible hikes or of trekking routes, while continuing to do whatever you like.
Gargano is an extraordinarily generous area, thanks to its great variety of landscapes that will find the perfect agreement between those who love mountains and those who love the sea. Just ask us for suggestions, and we’ll point you towards many new and different paths and panoramic routes.

Orienteering

Challenge yourselves with your sense of direction
Ever been to an orientation course? Here, if you like, you can attempt something different: orienteering races.
These two things sound similar but certainly aren’t: orienteering is an authentic sport, originally from Scandinavia: it consists of managing to cover a specific route, reaching pre-defined stops that are often spread around the woods, in the shortest time possible, on foot or on mountain bikes, only “armed”, so to speak, with your compass and your sense of direction.

Furthermore, thanks to the many sports and entertainment activities offered by Hotel I Melograni in Vieste, you will also be able to enjoy windsurfing, canoeing, water gym, archery and much more: our group lessons are available from June to early September.
