About Our Holidays
 
 

A lot of training holidays just don’t factor in that athletes only train for a few hours a day yet pay for so much more than that. So why not get fantastic training and a great holiday as well? That is what Embrace training holidays are all about.

We have researched and built relationships directly with the villa owners, service providers, sports professionals and sport facilities to pass these benefits onto our guests. Our philosophy has always been to combine quality training with the finer things that a great holiday can offer... more

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
         
Cycling
 
We admit we are a bit spoilt:
That is when it comes to cycling at our training destinations! Two Tour of the Algarve (“Volta ao Algarve”) stages are 5min minutes up the road from our villas in Portugal. In France we are based near the foot of the Tourmalet in the Pyrenees. And our location in Exmoor backs onto the national park which showcases the UK ironman and the Exmoor Beast cycle race.
 
 
Bike Transportation:
If you have ever trained abroad you will know that one of the biggest problems is transporting your bike around. Embrace has solved that problem. When we pick you up at the airport we will also have a transporter vehicle to safely take you and your pride & joy to the accommodation. We also provide vehicle support and maintenance on the longer rides, and a good storage facility and workshop at the accommodation.
 
 
Bike Hire:
Depending on your situation & where you are traveling from, it can sometimes be a better option to leave your bike at home and hire one of our top quality, full carbon, 2010 model road bikes. Bike boxes and shipping can be expensive and sometimes a damaging process! If you would rather hire a road bike from us then we have that option for you. Please see our bike hire page.
 
   

The Tour of the Algarve (“Volta ao Algarve”)
The Algarve has been a popular destination for cyclists for many years as it offers a wide range of challenging mountain biking and road cycling routes. This includes the Monchique Mountains and the world famous The Tour of the Algarve. The tour is a major cycle race that happens in February and has been won by the likes of Alberto Contador (2009 & 2010) and Floyd Landis (2004). In fact, the fifth and final stage takes in the Monchique mountain ranges close to us.

During each triathlon training week we tackle parts of the Tour stages. It really is a pleasure riding the flat serviced roads of the Algarve where you can ride for 50miles and only ever pass 2 or 3 cars, a donkey & cart and a herd of goats!
