Activities
What actually is the difference between an activity and an outing? Must an activity also entail some way of getting your pulse racing or does lying-on-the-beach-and-not-doing-a-thing also count? Of course it does! At least here. It also means that all the activities you can do scarcely fit on this page – you’ll need to go to Outings and Seaside as well. Do it after you’ve immersed yourself in Shark Club, SUP and cycling trails. And if you want to see even more tips, our favourite places and things we get up to, follow us on social media.
Sweden's most important and best club - the Shark Club. For everyone between 6 and 12 years old. The most important guests we have. Together we do lots of cool stuff like building sandcastles, fishing for crabs, crafting, and jumping, bouncing, and tumbling in bouncy castles. During the summer holidays, we watch Sommarlovsmorgon. Among other things.
Åsa by
bike
You probably already know that the Kattegattleden trail goes right through Åsa. But why just ride through when there are so many lovely cycling routes around and about. Winding roads take you through beautiful countryside, along the coastline and an interior landscape that’s quite fantastic – and also a bit ‘forgotten about’ sometimes. Bring your own bike or hire one from us and explore Åsa’s surroundings. There’s lots to see, you won’t regret it. We’ve put details of three exciting cycle tours below that we happily get on the saddle ourselves for.
17,3 km
Frillesås
A magical whole day tour! First to naturum Fjärås Bräcka Visitor Centre then home via the village of Äskhult. Several kilometres long but worth every turn of the pedal.
Walking trails and paths
Halland isn’t just salty swims and lovely sandy beaches. The landscapes in the transition zone between the coast and the forest are fantastic, varying between cultivated land, copses of trees, hills and small lakes. There are even some steep cliffs for anyone not afraid of heights. A 1.5 km long nature trail starts at Naturum Fjärås Bräcka Visitor Centre with stops along the way where you can learn about the fascinating history and flora of this moraine ridge laid down in the last Ice Age. Lovely scenery and walks can also be found around the village of Äskhults. There are several round walks of varying lengths around Stättereds 4H Gård and lots more in and around the Åkulla beech forest. And a tour round Hyltenäs hill or the 18 km long Viskastigen never disappoints.
Beach Workout
Exercising on vacation? Isn't that by definition contradictory? Not at all, vacation might be the best time for working out! It becomes so much more enjoyable when you don't have to feel any stress or pressure.
By the summer of 2024, was a brand new outdoor gym will be ready. Fourteen different pieces of exercise equipment. Complement that with interval running up and down the sand dunes, and finish off with a dip in the sea? It doesn't get better than that!
Beach Yoga
The vacation is meant for recovery for both body and soul. If you haven’t tried yoga before, the vacation is a perfect opportunity. Therese Lind runs her own yoga studio in Åsa, and every summer she moves her activities to Åsa Havsbad, to our great delight. Every Saturday in July, she will hold yoga sessions from 9:00 to 10:00 AM. It’s drop-in and costs 150 SEK, but for our guests, it’s free—just pick up a voucher at the reception before the session. Yoga mats are available to borrow. For more information, stop by the reception.
Beachvolley
When you're tired of just lying on the beach, challenge your family or group of friends to a beach volleyball match! Beach volleyball is for all ages and a wonderful way to just hang out on the beach.
At Vita Sand, we have a beach volleyball net for everyone to use, you don't need to book a time! And you can borrow a ball from us at the reception.
More? Really?
After that, most people would understandably welcome a horizontal position for the remaining days of the vacation. But if you still haven’t had enough of movement, you can spend a few hours playing beach football. Goals are set up between the playground and the sand dunes. Gather two teams with whoever you run into along the way. In Åsa, there’s also the opportunity to play padel and tennis.
