Whether you’re lucky enough to have had success making a career out of gaming, or you game as a passion any chance you can get, it’s no fun when you have to leave behind the console to go on holiday. That is unless you fancy packing all your expensive hardware and having to get it all out at airport security before repacking it and hoping it doesn’t get damaged before you get to your destination. For many, it simply isn’t practical.

However, fear not about missing out on a week or two of gaming as there are now many resorts popping up across Europe that will allow you to enjoy your gaming hobby while sipping margaritas beach side. Whether you’re into sports, classic casino gaming like poker, or video gaming, chances are there’s a resort somewhere in Europe that caters to your interests.
