Grounded flight of fancy

How much strength can you build up in a week? At the LIFEBEAT WEEK, you can find out for yourself and let Jana Spring maneuver you through the world of yoga and functional training. In this exclusive TOP event week, you will experience leading experts in yoga, functional training and cycling and start your day with calming yoga sessions, passionate functional flows and intensive FunTone workouts. Afterwards, you will bring your body back to rest with stabilizing Pilates and stretching sessions.

That sounds like a really wide range of countries, clubs and events. Is there anything that all tennis events have in common?

The atmosphere! And it doesn’t matter whether I’m training adults or children. The spirit is simply always good. The participants are eager to learn, motivated and want to learn more. It’s almost a shame that the training group has to break up again after the week. It really is always a great group of TEAMPLAYERS at the tennis camps.

Tailwind in all conditions

Surf fan? Thanks to professional coaching, excellent equipment and paradisiacal surf spots, the surf camps at ROBINSON are the perfect place for your favorite vacation.

Not all participants are probably at the same performance level when they stand at the plate with you. How do you ensure that everyone progresses in their training and has fun?

At the camp at the ROBINSON IERAPETRA, we decide on the pairings after we have observed the first training sessions. It then becomes clear relatively quickly which players harmonize and how they can best go to the limit together. At the ROBINSON AMADÉ, things are a little different. There, we determine the playing strength in advance using the so-called QTTR value and only admit players with 1,200 points. This event therefore has a relatively high performance level.

Hey Nadine, when I get an overview of your events, it quickly becomes clear that the offer for GLÜCKSKINDER is also huge. Why is that?

I believe this is simply in the ROBINSON DNA. With our childcare and the ROBY CLUB, you can already clearly see how important it is to us that all family members have an unforgettable vacation. If the children and teenagers have a great vacation, the parents also have more time for themselves. This in turn benefits everyone. With the events for our younger guests, we offer additional activities that cater specifically to age groups and interests.

This means that no matter how old my kids are or what they like to do in their free time, you have a suitable event ready?

Something like that. Of course, it also depends a little on the club, but in general we have events for the age groups 0-2, 3-6, 4-8, 6-15, 7-12 and 13+. Then the only question is whether it should be about sport, creativity, action or fun and partying. Whatever you choose, fun and new friends are guaranteed and, if you want, you can even complete badges such as the seahorse, sailing certificates or similar. This always makes for big children’s eyes and proud parents.

You don’t just go with the flow architecturally, but also in terms of sport. Where do your guests prefer to let off steam?

Most people look for sports close to the water. They either ride the waves while kitesurfing, wingfoiling and surfing or dive one level deeper. But even with other sports activities, such as yoga on the beach or cycling and group fitness, your gaze almost always wanders over to the turquoise blue horizon, making even the most demanding programs easier to master.

There always seems to be something going on at your place. How do your guests relax after events like the Gardenfest or Africa of Colors?

Even though our events can be colorful and a little louder, they still spread a relaxed atmosphere. The motto of our island is “No Stress” and we live by it. However, if you want to lose track of time completely, take a dip in the salt pan of the disused salt trade or watch the natural spectacle when the deep shaft of the “Buracona Olho Azul” shines turquoise blue onto the rocks. The only time things are even quieter is during the treatments at our WellFit Spa or the “Yoga Verde Week”.

Many locals take meticulous care of their health. What role does sport play in your club?

That’s right. A healthy lifestyle is the recipe for a long and healthy life. That’s why we offer our guests a wide range of exercise options. This starts with traditional Thai boxing training and extends to SUP yoga, archery, beach tennis, group fitness and much more.

As laid-back as the days in Thailand may be. When night falls, the joie de vivre is far from over. What events is your club known for?

That’s actually true. There are a number of very different events. Some are very contemplative, such as the “Floating Lantern Event”, where we place floating candles on the water and pray for wishes and blessings. The “Loy Krathon Festival”, “Song Kran Festival” or the “Chinese New Year” are a little more crazy. What’s behind these titles? Find out for yourself – you won’t be disappointed.

As a FOR ALL Club, you are a welcoming destination for singles, couples and families with children. What do you do to make children’s eyes light up?

On the one hand, we have a very family-friendly beach. The little ones always have a great time on 13 kilometers of fine, gently sloping sandy beach. There are also many pools and the ROBY CLUB with its caring childcare promises fun for all ages.

Are there any other outdoor must-sees?

On our island “Orivaru”, we are completely alone with the ROBINSON NOONU and virtually hidden in a jungle atmosphere. But there is another highlight in the water in front of our sundowner bar: two large swings where you can enjoy the sunset. A really great photo opportunity.

What can the little islanders look forward to?

We recently opened our new playground, which is open around the clock. A play ship and a nest swing await the kids there. We also go on excursions, such as our pirate boat trip, which involves conquering a neighboring island and searching for treasure.

What can parents do in the meantime to pass the time?

As well as numerous relaxation options such as massages and sauna sessions, we offer a wide range of courses for sports enthusiasts. Hot Iron, Aqua Tabata, Zumba, Hit Fitness and yoga on the jetty are particularly popular.

So much exercise works up an appetite. Where can I get a tasty snack at the ROBINSON NOONU?

You are spoiled for choice: in our main restaurant with terrace, the specialty restaurant or the teppanyaki restaurant. Fabulous sushi dishes await guests at lunchtime. Various barbecues can also be enjoyed directly on the beach. The only question then is: Lobster or Wagyu Special? And don’t forget our floating breakfast in the private pool – there’s no better way to start the day.

How do you end the day in style?

I would recommend a round of parasailing at dusk, when you get a breathtaking view over the island. After dinner, the sundowner bar, shows and parties beckon. Depending on how exuberant you want to get.
