If you're looking for a beach volleyball camp in Spain that perfectly combines training, beach and community, Sunsation Beach in Gandía is exactly the right place. Since 2014, hundreds of beach volleyball players from all over Europe have been meeting here on one of the widest sandy beaches in the Mediterranean – and we invite you to experience it for yourself. (As of: August 2026)

Where exactly is Sunsation Beach and what makes it special?

Sunsation Beach is located on Playa de Gandía, around 7 km from the town centre of Gandía on Spain's east coast. The beach is up to 120 metres wide and stretches for over 7 kilometres along the coast – light, fine sand that's often compared to Santa Monica Beach. This sheer width means room for lots of courts side by side without it getting cramped, even when hundreds of campers are out at the same time.

When does the camp take place and who is it for?

Sunsation Beach takes place in spring and autumn, outside Spain's peak season. That has a clear advantage: the beach is much less crowded than in high summer, while temperatures still feel like summer. In June and July daytime highs in Gandía climb to 27 to 30 degrees, while in spring (March to May) they're a pleasant 17 to 23 degrees. The camp is aimed at beach volleyball players of all levels – from their very first touch of the ball to ambitious tournament players.

How do you get to Gandía?

The nearest international airport is Valencia (VLC), about 77 km or around 50 minutes' drive from Gandía. From there, a transfer or rental car takes you straight to the beach. Valencia itself is easy and cheap to reach from most European airports, which also makes Sunsation Beach attractive for a long weekend.

What awaits you besides training?

Exactly the mix that makes Volleytours camps special: training in small level groups with our coaches during the day, then time for the beach, the town and great food. Gandía itself offers bars, restaurants and relaxed nightlife, plus regional classics like paella and fideuà – after all, the region where paella was invented is right on your doorstep. If you still have energy after training, there's plenty to discover in Gandía's old town without the next training day suffering.

How does training work at Sunsation Beach?

In fixed level groups, coached by our experienced trainers. Each group trains at its own level, from basic technique like passing and setting to attack and block variations for advanced players. Between training sessions there's plenty of time for your own games, the beach or simply relaxing in the shade – the camp is deliberately not a tightly scheduled training marathon, but a balance of progress and holiday.

What sets Gandía apart from our camps in Italy?

Above all, flexibility and the sheer size of the community. While locations like Ravenna or Rimini on the Italian Adriatic work with fixed camp weeks, Sunsation Beach – thanks to its long history since 2014 – offers one of the biggest and most international Volleytours communities of all. If you can't decide between the locations: both regions have their own character, but you'll find the basic ingredients – training for all levels, a warm climate, real community – everywhere.

What makes Sunsation Beach more than just a training camp?

The community. Over the years, Sunsation Beach has become one of the biggest meeting points for beach volleyball players from all over Europe – and you feel that from the very first evening. Whether you come alone or with friends, after a few days you're part of a group that trains, eats and celebrates the sunset on the beach together. That's also why many campers come back year after year, sometimes in both spring and autumn.
