Water activities for an unforgettable holiday

The best part of a seaside summer holiday is discovering the Slovenian coast from on the water! You can relax on a SUP, experience a sea safari on a banana boat pulled by a speedboat, have fun exploring the bay in a pedal boat, kayak, or canoe, rent a jet-ski for an adrenaline rush, or even learn to scuba dive! All these unforgettable sea adventures and more are provided at the San Simon Resort by our partner Halo Sup.

Cycling

There are numerous marked and unmarked cycling routes of various difficulties along the Slovenian coast. You can go on a trip along beautiful, well-maintained, asphalted bicycle paths or, for those who are more daring, there are also bicycle paths along macadam and forest roads, with ascents and descents with various degrees of challenge along the way.

Hiking

The Slovenian coast is an attractive destination 365 days a year, even outside of the summer season when the mild Mediterranean climate helps slowly uncover all the charms of the sea and the local nature. That’s why, regardless of the time of year, you should definitely not miss the chance to take a beneficial walk by the sea during your holiday in Portorož, Piran, Strunjan, or Izola. Below we would like to introduce you to three circular trails by the sea and through the beautiful hinterland, where you’ll get to know the most beautiful parts of Portorož, Piran, Seča, and Strunjan.

Running

Along the Slovenian coast, you can find numerous trails of different difficulty levels for running. These trails can offer a challenge to both beginners and marathon runners. One of the better-known coastal trails is the one from Koper to Izola, which runs along the former Parenzana railway and ends at Simon's Bay. Although the trail is dynamic and lively, it is definitely suitable for beginners.

Nordic walking

The Slovenian coast hides in its embrace many well-kept trails suitable for hikers and Nordic walking. This is an extremely healthy and natural activity for the body, where we use most of the muscle groups. That's why doing it strengthens the whole body. If you are a fan of walking and hiking in general, then Nordic walking is a great upgrade that is suitable for all ages.

Yoga for balance of mind and body

Yoga is more than just relaxation, it is a way of life. We suggest that you visit the reception desk of your destination, borrow a yoga mat and exercise brochure, and embark on the path towards restoring your inner peace.

Tennis

Sailing

Sailing centres, such as the sailing clubs Pirat in Piran, Burja in Izola, and Jadro in Koper, offer moorings for larger and smaller vessels, parking spaces for cars and motorhomes, changing rooms, seminar rooms, and outdoor and indoor storage, as well as summer courses and sailing schools.

Beach volleyball

You can find sand courts for beach volleyball at the bathing complexes, where you can spend your time by the sea and in the sun staying active. The perfect example of a pristine court can be found on the Salinera beach.
