Give your kids a Digital Detox on a Powder Byrne Summer Resorts holiday

Powder Byrne launch three new destinations for their Summer Resorts programme in Sotogrande and Alicante in Spain and Turcifal, near Lisbon in Portugal.

Promoting the idea of giving your kids a 'Digital Detox' has proved to be a strong message with our clients.  Our summer kids' programmes are all about action; water-sports, tennis, swimming, football and games are all mixed in with other creative crafts and group sessions.  They are so active and full of energy throughout that it will give kids a healthy time away from gadgets and the virtual world.  Our new resorts have been carefully chosen to provide an environment where kids can try new things, learn new skills and discover the rewards of achieving success, thereby building confidence.
