Surviving Luxury…With A Little Help From Bear Grylls!

 
Greece’s Sani Resort has announced the reopening of its Bear Grylls Survival Academy for the third year running.

The unique academy, first of its kind in a European resort, has been developed in partnership with the renowned adventurer and multi-award-winning survivalist, Bear Grylls.

And, this year, all courses will be offered as complimentary to all guests, encouraging them to challenge themselves and develop new skills through nature-based adventures.

Sani Resort's prime location in a 1,000-acre ecological reserve, complete with pine-fringed beaches, lush woodlands and wetlands, provides the perfect setting for active families seeking an immersive experience.

Under the direction of a team of instructors hand-selected by Bear Grylls, the Survival Academy offers a unique opportunity for families and young adventurers to connect with nature and develop expert survival skills within the breathtaking environment of Sani Resort.

A series of dynamic courses feature a variety of activities designed to teach guests the essentials of wilderness survival. These activities range from shelter and fire-building, to navigation, signalling for help, and astro-navigation on a nighttime trek through the resort's woodland.

The academy is designed to combine the three natural worlds of Sani; the unspoilt beach, the Sani Forest and the Sani Wetlands to showcase the resort’s prime position.

The course also includes a spectacular extraction experience by boat with breathtaking views over the Cape Sani, an exclusive activity offered to Sani Resort.

Courses Include:
Family Course
A unique opportunity for families with children aged six and above to cultivate a strong bond while learning valuable survival skills. The programme begins at base camp with an introduction to the "priorities of survival" including lessons on how to construct a shelter and build a campfire.

Teen Course
An immersive six-day programme designed for teens aged 13-17 seeking an adventure in the great outdoors. The programme features a diverse range of activities, including navigation, spear making, stalking, tracking, raft building, and foraging for wild food.
