Dive into the Medes Islands: small‑group adventures with Aquàtica
Located inside the campsite since 2017, Aquàtica provides:
- Diving trips, courses, and snorkelling excursions by boat within the surrounding Natural Park.
- A small‑group approach: each boat rotation forms two or three small groups, each led by an instructor, to maximise comfort on board and underwater.
- Theory classes supported by SSI materials, following the Scuba Schools International system.
- Facilities that display ISO, EMAS and EUROPARC logos, signalling recognised environmental and quality‑management standards.
Why small groups matter: in underwater activities, smaller ratios typically support clearer briefings, calmer entries, and more attentive guidance—enhancing confidence for newer participants and enjoyment for everyone.
Tip: Ask at reception or the Aquàtica team about options that match your level, from first‑time snorkellers to certified divers eager to explore around the Medes Islands.
Beyond the waves: curated excursions you can arrange via reception
Our reception team can help you plan and organise a wide range of activities during July and August, including:
- Diving and snorkelling (with Aquàtica)
- Fishing
- Kayaking and boat trips
- Cycling and hiking
- Golf
- Wine tourism
Prefer to bring your own craft? There’s a public boat‑launch point nearby, making it convenient to put in close to the campsite.
On‑site sports and play between excursions
When you’re not out exploring, keep the momentum going on site:
- Sports zone hours: 08:00–23:00
- Quick tennis court (reserve at reception)
- Beach volleyball and multi‑sports court (open access)
- Green and rest area with benches for cool‑down time
Families appreciate breaking up the day with a swim and free play, then joining scheduled activities—an easy rhythm in peak summer.
Summer convenience that makes a difference
- Snack bar‑pizzeria: open all year, with a large terrace, indoor seating, a library corner and billiards—great for relaxed evenings after activities.
- Shop: open all year, offering daily press, freshly baked bread, and everyday essentials.
- Cycling made easy: touring bikes, mountain bikes and on‑demand electric bikes are available, with a room to store them.
- Nearby essentials: the campsite is just 800 m from the beach and about 2 km from L’Estartit; two supermarkets sit in the immediate vicinity, so you can restock without a car.
