Levante Beach Club, Rhodes: the sporty Greek holiday for people who hate sunbathing Landing on the Greek island of Rhodes, pulling into a vast, modern resort complete with sun loungers, glistening pools and a long stretch of unspoiled beach, you might expect a textbook week-long holiday of rest and relaxation in the Rhodian sun.
Spanning from Type 1 fun, which refers to an activity you actually enjoy in the moment (like lying on a sun lounger), Type 3 are the kinds of pursuits normal people might just ask ‘why?’, due to the extreme discomfort they cause (like running an ultramarathon through a desert).
However, at Neilson’s Levante Beach Club the eagle-eyed will soon note that one of those pools is a cold plunge, the platform next to the beach bar is packed with spin bikes, and half of the beach is lined with dinghies, kayaks, and windsurf rigs.
Type 2 fun is the middle ground at which the activity might be difficult at the time but afterwards your brain forgets the pain or fear, you feel great that you’ve completed a challenge and, if you’re in this brigade, you’ll likely sign up to go again the very next day.
Instead we’re here to move, challenge and exhilarate – a dream for a Type 2 fun personality like me.
