Open Air Activities

There are countless outdoor activities throughout the year, thanks to a temperate climate: some choose to jog following the horizon by the sea, others choose to jog in urban parks or surrounded by the silence of century-old pine forests; some keep fit by climbing the gentle hills of the hinterland by bike, others practice nordic walking on the beach; some trek in nature parks and others meet on the greens of the golf courses (there are four of them in the Wellness Valley); as soon as the wind rises, some will go kitesurfing, gliding the waves (a sport that has been recently included in the Olympic disciplines) and others will go windsurfing.

Furthermore, for board-sports lovers, entertainment and physical activity are perfectly combined in the many skate parks available in the territory.
When summer comes every beach resort worthy of the name becomes a natural gym because the Riviera of Romagna is the sports coast par excellence.

Here everyone can practice, their feet in the water or in the sand, the activity they like most: from the “standard” summer disciplines, such as beach tennis, water aerobics, beach-volley and beach-basket, to the most original ones, for example water-volley, a type of volleyball to be played in the water with the net grids set in the water, 20 metres from the shore.


Besides seaview sports and fitness, there are lots of opportunities to practice the most popular activities that harmonise body and mind, such as yoga and pilates.
The Wellness Beaches are specifically devoted to people who prefer psycho-physical activities and bio-natural disciplines, initiatives which every summer are updated in a timetable of a varied programme full of events and courses with the participation of dozens of seaside resorts along the coast. And after a lot of sports, give yourself a bit of relax… Furthermore, right on the beach, the open air wellness centres combine all the regenerative benefits of the sea air with the calming effects of aesthetic and remedial treatments, another zero-km service.

Treatments with the sweet salts of Cervia (RA) are the most popular, and directly extracted from the homonymous saline basin, the therapeutic properties of which were recognized since ancient times.
