Instead of having a purpose built UCPA centre, Almyrida UCPA use the Almyrida Beach Hotel. This charming hotel is part of the village's life. Located 10 meters from the beach, this very comfortable hotel offers rooms with private bathrooms for 2 to 4 people.
With four pools, including one on the hotel's rooftop, the hardest part will be choosing!

Rooms

Rooms are 2 - 4 person rooms
Bathroom facilities are en-suite and private to each room
Single or double rooms available

Dining

With full board, let yourself be tempted by Cretan cuisine, a rich local cuisine, just like the island: simple and tasty. A generous buffet breakfast at the hotel, including local produce: Cretan cheeses, yogurts, and traditional pancakes. Lunch is served at various seaside restaurants or in a typical inn during an organized day. Dinner is served at the hotel.

Please inform us of any dietary requirements beforehand (e.g. allergies).

History

UCPA is more than 40 years old, and was originally set-up by the French government to encourage young people to enjoy the outdoors. It is now a "not for profit" organisation with all profits being put back into refurbishing the centres.

The ethos of sport is still first on the agenda, but the instructors and centre staff don't forget that it is still your holiday.

​

UCPA Planete, worldwide resorts, is a product that has been created by UCPA, but as they are not hosted in UCPA specific centres so they can be very different.

• Trips are usually hosted by a hotel, so you will not neccesarily be sharing with others and may have your own room (please check rooming above).
• All meals are included, but they are not neccesarily buffet style within the hotel, they may be at other restaurants around the resorts. A great opportunity to soak in evening atmosphere and try different cuisines!
• There may be non- UCPA clients in the hotel that you are staying in. UCPA will have a select number of rooms within the hotel.
• As these are new products to us, we do not have as many UK clients travelling to these destinations yet, but they have been running for a few years now and starting to gain popularity very quickly amongst UCPA fans. This may however mean that there are not as many English speaking travellers in these destinations, but as always, basic English is required of staff and instructors.
• Hotel dependent, but UCPA do not always provide evening entertainment so this may be down to you and your course group to arrange your evening activites.
• These amazing products give you the opportunity to take on new sports on improve on current skills in fantastic destinations. It's all about getting to know the local areas and culture.
