Know the hours and how to book
Our sports zone is open from 08:00 to 23:00, giving you plenty of daylight and evening time to play. To secure your tennis slot, reserve the quick tennis court at reception. The multi-sports and beach-volleyball courts are open during those hours without booking, ideal for spontaneous games and friendly pick‑up matches.
Tip: During busy periods, plan tennis early in the morning or later in the evening to find your preferred time. For walk‑up courts, arrive a little before the hour to coordinate fair rotations with other players.
Choose your court
Quick tennis court
Our quick tennis court offers a consistent, hardcourt-style bounce that rewards clean footwork and confident strokes. Reserve at reception to lock in your time. If you’re playing doubles, rotate sides each set to keep rallies fresh and fair.
Multi-sports court (basketball & futsal)
The multi-sports court welcomes both basketball and futsal. Mix short, high‑intensity games with skills drills—think shooting ladders or quick passing triangles—so everyone gets active between matches.
Beach-volleyball court
Head to the beach-volleyball court for explosive rallies, soft landings and team strategy. Sand sessions build balance and leg strength; keep rallies brisk by playing short, timed sets and rotating pairs when others are waiting.
Boules (pétanque) court
For a change of pace, enjoy our boules court. It’s social, skillful and accessible—great for mixed‑age groups between more intensive sessions on the other sports courts.
Smart scheduling from morning to night
- 08:00–10:00: Cool, focused play. Beat the heat and work on technique—serves, footwork, shooting form, first touch.
- Late morning to early afternoon: Social games. Keep sets short, take regular water breaks, and use the green rest area with benches for shade and recovery.
- Late afternoon to evening: Match time. As temperatures ease, schedule your reserved tennis slot or organize a mini‑round‑robin on the multi-sports or beach-volleyball courts.
If you like to cross‑train, blend sessions with a swim in our outdoor pools (01/05–15/09, weather permitting) or the indoor heated pool (15/09–15/06, ~28°C). For deeper recovery, there’s a sauna next to the indoor pool, and professional massage treatments are available year‑round for an additional fee.
What to bring and wear
Bring the basics you need to enjoy the sports courts comfortably:
- Footwear: Supportive, non‑marking court shoes for tennis and multi-sports; barefoot or sand socks for beach volleyball.
- Gear: Your preferred racket, balls, volleyball, or boules. If you’ve forgotten something, check with reception for current advice.
- Hydration & sun: Refillable water bottle, sunscreen, hat and a small towel.
- Layering: A light layer for cooler morning or late‑evening play.
Play better, play safer
- Warm up: 5–10 minutes of dynamic moves—skips, lunges, shoulder circles—before high‑intensity play.
- Cool down: Gentle stretching on the benches in the green rest area to aid recovery.
- Court etiquette: Share fairly, rotate when busy, retrieve stray balls quickly and keep the surface tidy.
- Pace yourself: Use short sets or time‑boxed games (e.g., 10–12 minutes) so everyone stays engaged without overexertion.
Family-friendly game plan
Camping Les Medes is family‑oriented year‑round, with children’s clubs/entertainment in high season and an outdoor playground. That makes it easy to pair an adult tennis session with kids’ time at the play area, then regroup for a friendly family match on the multi-sports or beach-volleyball courts.
For water lovers, balance court time with a splash in the children’s and adults’ outdoor pools (seasonal) or lane‑friendly laps in the indoor heated pool when open. Recovery‑minded parents often cap the day with a short sauna or schedule a massage for the following morning to bounce back strong.
A sample active day (mix and match)
- 08:30–09:30: Reserved session on the quick tennis court (drills + short set).
- 10:00–10:30: Cool‑down and snacks in the green rest area.
- 11:00–12:00: Basketball shooting games and a quick 3‑on‑3 on the multi-sports court.
- Late afternoon: Beach-volleyball timed sets with team rotations.
- Evening: Gentle swim in the outdoor or indoor pool (depending on season) and, if you like, a brief sauna.
Beyond the courts: keep the momentum going
- Bike rental: Explore L’Estartit at your own pace—ideal for a low‑impact recovery ride between court days. We also provide a room to store bicycles.
- Aquàtica diving centre (on site): For a completely different kind of workout and wonder, Aquàtica runs diving trips, courses, introductory dives and guided snorkelling around the Medes Islands and Montgrí Natural Park. On‑site you’ll find a spacious campa area to gear up, an SSI‑equipped classroom and a dedicated pool for first in‑water practice. Divers reach the harbour by minibus and board the Maria Mir (large deck; up to 18 divers, authorised for 25) for boat dives in the park.
