Montessori and ECO principles

When it's important to you, it's also important to us

Our warm and friendly caregivers spend time with the children having fun and educating them based on Montessori principles and the approach to a child that focuses on independence, hands-on learning and a carefully prepared environment that allows the child to grow in all important areas of development. We have many Montessori toys and equipment that our animators use throughout the day when playing and teaching the children. Most of the toys are environmentally friendly as ecology is very important to us in all our facilities. 

Edutainment & Academies

All-year programme

Educational entertainment is the basis of our animation programme at Falkensteiner Family Hotel Diadora. With a new science lab, educational games and toys, trained supervisors and a fantastic programme, children and parents learn along the way without even realising it.

From opening to closing, eight different academies are offered (swimming, climbing, tennis, horse riding, gaming, science, masterchef and padel) and two (cheerleading and football academy) during the summer months only.

Parents learning

Concious parenting as highlight of our workshops

One thought served as a guideline for us in the development of our programme: How can we help parents relax and connect with their children or learn something new together? It is not easy to be a parent in this day and age. The challenges of modern everyday life are sometimes overwhelming, so let us help you make the most of your family time.

Art & Music

Musical education for parents and babies

Wonderful dancing, singing, drawing and playing workshops according to the principles of the "ORFF-Schulwerk", offered every weekend at the Falkensteiner Family Hotel Diadora, either with the team of Lana Marasović Franchise or with our team of animators. These workshops support the development of verbal and non-verbal communication, musical hearing and sense of rhythm in babies and toddlers aged 0 to 4 years.

Healthy eating is fun

Certified nutritionists make baby food with you

In our Biberonia kitchenette, a group of nutritionists play the main role when it comes to preparing healthy and balanced meals for babies. Instead of just listening and gaining new knowledge, you also become active yourself and help to make the baby food. The Biberonia has a fully equipped kitchen with fresh fruit and vegetables, so you can feed your baby at any time of the day or night - regardless of the workshop - and don't have to worry about restaurant opening hours.

Baby Swimming

From 4 months

Swimming in warm water is natural for babies - they enjoy splashing and gliding through the water! Time in the pool activates your baby's body in a whole new way, creating billions of new neurons as your baby pedals and splashes about in delight. Our swim coach guides you through special exercises that help build muscles, improve coordination and balance, appetite and sleep patterns. Of course, what counts most here is the wonderful time spent together on holiday, which creates a special bond between baby and parents.

Tailormade for Falkys (4-7) & Falkons (8-12)

Easter Ranger Quest

From football academy to detective Easter egg hunt

For the first time, an Austrian professional football club is offering a football academy by the sea during the Easter holidays! FK Austria Wien is part of the extensive programme for Easter, which includes traditional Easter activities such as Easter biscuit masterchef, breakfast with the Easter bunny, Easter face painting, Easter safari or egg hunt party. The little adventurers can take part in the Ranger Quest, where they explore the hotel's surroundings and learn about the plants and animals living there, how to tie knots or make signs and follow clues in nature!

Robotics

Create with 3D pen and 3D printer

Baby Lego© Robotics and 3D Modelling aims to develop and encourage early mathematical and logical thinking through play with various Lego©, Sphero and Cubetto sets. The programme does not aim to create a pure classroom environment, but rather to develop lifelong skills through relaxed, educationally innovative recreational activities. We have designed a programme to develop and enhance fine motor skills with 3D modelling, where children try to make their own toys using 3D tools such as a 3D pen. The toy they build is their own creation to take home for a long lasting memory.

TinkerLab

Fun experiments

The philosophy of this fun STEM and STEAM programme is "from play to passion to purpose". It was developed in collaboration with the internationally renowned organisation TinkerLab. Each lesson focuses on a concept or theme that we aim to engage the children with through fun and interactive activities. The aim is to create an inspiring space where children can use their hands and minds to create a variety of different objects with the help of certified TinkerLab teachers. We will give kids an insight into the world of chemistry, geometry, inventive challenges, anatomy, physics, astronomy, technology and art.

Nutrition Workshops

Prepare healthy snacks with nutritionists

These workshops are for Falkys, Falkons and their parents. It's more than just lectures about healthy food combinations, the right nutritious ingredients and calorie intake. It is much more about how to prepare a perfectly balanced meal - which is exactly what you will do on site with the nutritionists. The goal is for you to take this knowledge home and use it with your kids for a happier and healthier post-holiday life.

Designed for Teens

Robotics

3D printers and programming

Senior Lego© Robotics and 3D Modelling is a challenging project where teens are introduced to different programming platforms and learn the basics of programming over a five-day period in conjunction with higher-end robotics sets (Mini Sphero, Lego Prime, micro:bit, Macqueen). They will also delve into the world of 3D model creation using level-up platforms. After they have designed a sophisticated model, they can of course print it out.

Fortis Club

Gaming, bowling and arcade games

There is one area at Falkensteiner Resort Punta Skala that is a perfect retreat for teenagers - located not even close to Falky Land and the lively, colourful, noisy children's programme. Teenagers deserve space to themselves, so at Fortis Club we offer them a bowling and games area with extra fast computers and all the modern games they could want. It's the perfect place to meet other teenagers, hang out, play darts, snooker or air hockey and have fun, away from the hustle and bustle of the family hotel.

Sports and fun offers

For active teenagers

Teenagers can take part in activities with other teenagers or play on their own: Football, basketball, tennis, handball, beach volleyball, badminton... Not to mention swimming (pools or sea), running by the sea, renting bicycles or electric scooters at Fortis Club and exploring the resort's surroundings, such as the picturesque fishing village of Petrčane nearby. Tournaments are very popular with young people and many are organised at the resort. For those who want to enjoy the nightlife, we have two beach bars with live DJ music or disco bowling on offer!
