MOVE IT!
It’s a no-brainer – if you want to get healthy, you need to exercise. And our properties are set in stunning natural surrounds within which you can enjoy a plethora of activities.
KEEP IT ON-SITE
If you like structured exercise or just don’t want to venture too far to get some activity, you don’t have to. Many of our resorts
offer sporting facilities to suit a range of preferences. There are gyms, pools (and kids pools), tennis courts, table-tennis tables, playgrounds and more.
WATERSIDE
With many of our properties situated by the water, why not try some new water sports? Take surfing lessons, hire a kayak or glide along on a boogie board. Not too confident in the water? Go for a brisk walk or gentle jog in the shallows and take in the view while you’re there – you may even be lucky enough to see migrating whales.
You can even try your hand at sailing or go deep-sea fishing and cook up your healthy catch at the end of the day.
EXPLORE
Explore your local environment and get some incidental exercise along the way. Play the tourist and check out all the
local points of interest. Go on a bushwalk or hike through the local forests. Walk to as many attractions as you can, or drive somewhere and swim, walk or ride when you get there. Riding enthusiasts can hire a bike and enjoy the view on wheels, while golfers can try out the local courses.
FOOD AND DRINK
It’s easy to fall into unhealthy eating patterns when you’re at home, so time away from your everyday routine can help you implement changes to your diet. Try to be positive about your new eating plan as well – healthy eating doesn’t have to be about deprivation.
DINING OUT
Most of our resorts boast tempting restaurants, so you’re bound to eat out for
a few – or many – of your meals. But eating out doesn’t have to mean overindulging. Take a really good look at the menu and choose healthy options. Avoid fried food if you can and go for meat or fish and vegetable
dishes. Say no to chips and ask for salad or cooked vegies to complement your dish. And although it may be difficult at first, give that second round of dessert a miss.
CHOOSE WISELY
Eating well is all about making the right choices, and most of us know what we should be eating – we just need to be reminded every now and then. Keep the following tips in mind:
• Avoid overly processed food – it’s often high in salt, sugar, fat and preservatives.
• Steer clear of fried food where you can – choose grilled, baked or stir-fried options instead.
• Keep alcohol to a minimum – it dehydrates you.
• Eat plenty of fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables.
• Eat local. If you’re by the sea, indulge in freshly caught seafood, and check out local markets and produce stores.
ONE MORE DRINK?
Many of us associate holiday time with drinking. Cocktails by the pool, pre-dinner aperitifs, wine with dinner, champagne
