Action Outdoors, the UK arm of not-for-profit organisation, the UCPA, has for the first time launched summer destinations outside of France.

Known as ‘Sport Planet’ by UCPA, the new centres run on the same lines as any other in the group, with all-inclusive, shared accommodation with meals, instruction and equipment supplied. Prices are also in-line with the value-for-money offering that UCPA are well-known for.

Holidays run throughout the summer commencing May 13, 2019 and in many cases going through until the end of October, with hundreds of combinations available depending on the type of holiday and chosen week.

The new destinations are:

Egypt: El Gouna
Morocco: Essaouira, Dakhla
Portugal: Peniche, Sagres
Cape Verde: Sal

The activities on offer in the new locations include; Scuba Diving, Kite Surfing, windsurfing, surfing, yoga, golf and horse-riding.

Managing Director of Action Outdoors, David Robertson, said:

We offer so many amazing destinations within France but it’s exciting to be able to expand our product outside of our traditional base. We’re making some of these more ‘exotic’ locations accessible to more people, with the same ethos as any other UCPA centre – great value for money, good food and a high standard of accommodation. Now we can offer a huge program across coasts and mountains not only in France but further afield too.
