Sand quality: what you really feel under your feet
Sand isn't "just sand" – it decides how easily you move, how deep you sink and how long a beach day feels good. Sunsation Beach is our spot for everyone who loves especially soft, light sand and enjoys spending many hours on court. Ravenna delivers the classic Adriatic feeling: fine sand, right by the sea, with that relaxed Italian lightness. And Albania (Durrës) is our autumn upgrade: golden, soft sand on a wide beach – plus resort comfort right behind it.
Camp and training group size: how much buzz do you want?
- Sunsation Beach is big – which means lots of matches, lots of possible playing partners, lots of choice. Ideal if you like being right in the thick of it.
- Ravenna (40–60/week) is mid-size with a strong community feeling: you'll quickly know lots of people – but it stays lively.
- Albania (30–50/week) is more manageable and therefore often feels calmer – without being "too small".
When it comes to training: Sunsation is the most focused (max. 6 per group), Albania offers a bit more group dynamic (max. 8), and Ravenna combines 10 hours of training with lots of shared playing time, also with up to 8 players per training group.
Tournaments: where can you compete and how often?
If you love tournaments, all three camps are right for you – just with a different character:
- Sunsation Beach: daily tournaments (women/men/mixed) and lots of rotation – perfect if you often want to "play under pressure".
- Ravenna: tournaments as highlights in a sociable week – sporty, but without constant competition.
- Albania: a clear tournament structure with 3 tournaments per week, including a scramble format – great if you want to play without a fixed partner or with changing teammates and ambition in tournaments isn't your top priority.
Party factor: festival or sundowner?
- Sunsation Beach (high): after-beach is part of the DNA here – if you're looking for a party, this is where you'll find it most reliably.
- Ravenna (medium): more "lovely evenings" than party pressure: sundowners, eating together, winding down together.
- Albania (medium–light): a social programme, yes – but more relaxed overall. You can celebrate, but you don't have to.
