Fitness holidays – how to find the right one
A fitness holiday is a holiday and a training camp in one: you train with coaches, eat well, rest properly and come home stronger. Here we explain how fitness holidays differ, what they cost and what to look for – and how our training weeks at Lost Villa in Croatia work.
What is a fitness holiday?
A holiday built around training
On a fitness holiday the training is planned for you. You join scheduled sessions with coaches, and the rest of the day is for recovery, good food and time with others who love to move.
Fitness holidays range from yoga and running to strength, Hyrox and functional training. Some are hotel packages where training is an add-on; others – like ours – are built entirely around the training and the community.
Types of fitness holidays
Which kind of fitness holiday suits you?
At Lost Villa we mix most of it – the coaches plan the week so every level gets a lot out of it.

Price
What does a fitness holiday cost?
The price depends mostly on what’s included. Always check whether meals, transfers, accommodation and coaching are part of the package – a cheap deal can get expensive once meals are added.
A training week at Lost Villa costs €1,545 per person including accommodation, all meals, transfer from Split and coached training every day. Book early and save €180. You book your own flight – usually cheapest directly with the airline – and you only pay the deposit when booking, the rest closer to the trip.
Checklist
How to choose the right fitness holiday
Six questions to ask before you book.
- What’s included?Meals, transfer, accommodation and all sessions – or are there lots of extras?
- Does it suit your level?Good coaches scale every exercise so beginners and experienced athletes both get a great week.
- How big are the groups?Smaller groups mean more coaching and it’s easier to get to know everyone.
- What weather can you expect?Hvar is Croatia’s sunniest island – we go in May, June and September when it’s warm but not too hot.
- Can you go alone?Many people travel solo – check how the accommodation works if you’re on your own.
- What do previous guests say?Read reviews and travel stories before you decide.
Small on purpose
Big package holiday or small fitness holiday?
After the summer, one of the big package holiday companies sent out a press release: 2,000 participants in their training sessions during August 2026. We had 40 – and that’s exactly how we like it.
On a big package holiday, training is one activity among many. On a small fitness holiday, it’s the whole point: the same coach all week who knows your name by Sunday, sees your technique and knows when you need to push – or rest. And a group that feels like friends before the week is over.
For beginners
Fitness holidays for beginners
You don’t need to be super fit to join a fitness holiday. Our coaches adapt every exercise to you and find alternatives if you have injuries or niggles.
You decide how much you want to train – and many discover they can do more than they thought when the atmosphere is great and the sea is right there.
Solo or together
A solo fitness holiday – or with the whole crew
Many of our guests travel alone. You train, eat and hang out together all week, so it rarely takes more than a few minutes to make the first new friends. You share a bedroom with another guest of the same gender, or book your own bedroom for a supplement, subject to availability.
Coming with friends, your gym or your company? We arrange group trips too and can invoice companies.
Best time
When is the best time for a fitness holiday?
Early summer and early autumn are perfect for outdoor training in the Mediterranean: warm, sunny and great for swimming, without the peak summer heat. That’s why our weeks are in May, June, August and September.
