Bowls holidays are a fun way to spend your vacation with family, friends or co-workers. Bowls, also known as lawn bowls, flat green bowls and crown green bowls, is a game where asymmetric balls are rolled slightly so that they stop close to a smaller ‘jack’ or ‘kitty’. It can either be played on a flat pitch (flat green) or a convex pitch (crown green bowls) and is normally played outdoors. There are also indoor bowls venues that are useful to play in during rain and colder months. Short Mat Bowls is an indoor variant of the game which is played on mats with white fenders at each end acting as a ditch. Carpet Bowls is another indoor variant played on a smaller mat compared to Short Mat.

Bowls is a relaxing yet excellent way to work out, and has several health benefits. Not only does it help you with physical exercise such as losing calories and working out muscle groups, it also has a psychosocial benefit as it helps strengthen friendships and build new friend foundations.

Several hotels have capitalised on the fact that people enjoy going bowling during holidays and have thus incorporated this sport ...
... into holiday packages. Some hotels have indoor and outdoor bowling arenas within the premises itself, or are situated close to facilities that offer bowls. This means that holiday makers can enjoy the comforts of the hotel as well as experience the enjoyment of bowls easily.

The perks of having a bowling holiday is that you can still enjoy all the facilities of the hotel that you stay in, such as the swimming pool, spa, daytime activities and nightly entertainment in addition to enjoying a game or two of bowls. If you wish to explore other outdoor bowls clubs, some hotels even offer transport to and fro as well as arrange rink fees and fixtures. Some bowling hotels even offer on-site bowls shops which stock all your bowling equipment needs such as clothing, hats, waterproofs, shoes, bags, gloves and bowls, as well as other facilities such as electronic scoring and lockers in the indoor arenas.

Bowls holidays are a fantastic way to incorporate sporting activities along with a comfortable hotel stay.
