ACTIVITIES

On Land

Discover Necker’s 74 acres on an island walk, play tennis as a flock of flamingos flies by, or find your inner zen during a yoga class.

Both courts have beginner and advanced racquets along with ball baskets in the huts. They have a resident tennis pro who can organise individual or group lessons, tournaments or someone to hit with if you fancy a challenge.

Island Walk: Necker is 74 acres in size with a 3 mile perimeter. There are a number of trails on the north end of the island which will take you around the coast or over the main ridge. Staff can take you on a guided tour and share some interesting facts about Necker, or simply point you in the right direction to brave it alone!

Also popular is a sailing regatta around the islands with a number of our boats, helmed by either guests or members of their team.

Paddleboarding: Otherwise known as ‘stand up paddleboarding’, this sport has taken the world by storm from the big waves of Hawaii to inland waterways of England. Necker has a range of paddleboards (10ft – 14ft long), and people of all abilities can have a go at this easy but fun watersport.
