Located just minutes from Edinburgh Airport, Lost Shore Surf Resort is the first of its kind in Scotland and one of the most advanced surf destinations in the world. Its wave pool, three times the size of Hampden football pitch, making it the ultimate spot to learn to surf or hone your skills.

The luxury self-catering hilltop lodge sleeps up to 8 people and boasts panoramic views of the wave pool and resort grounds.

Kids can learn to surf or hone their skills for free, while adults can join them at exclusive discounted rates when booking accommodation. Beyond the waves, there’s plenty to explore – both at the resort and across Scotland – making it a unique, active holiday just a short journey from Edinburgh Airport and the Capital.”

And the fun doesn’t stop there – throughout July kids can also take part in circus workshops run by Think Circus, learning skills like juggling and plate spinning.
