Wellness, whenever you arrive

These services sit beside the site’s indoor heated pool, creating a calm, convenient space where you can transition from warmth to water and back again.

Wellness at a glance

The indoor heated pool: your quiet reset

The indoor pool is a serene space designed for comfort and consistency in cooler months. It operates from 15 September to 15 June, maintained at an average 28 °C and measuring 11.5 × 4 metres—plenty for gentle laps or an easy float between sauna sessions. A locker room with lockers makes it simple to store your personal items while you unwind.

• Important: In keeping with regional regulations, a swimming cap is required in the indoor pool.

Positioned next to the sauna and massage area, the pool allows you to create your own thermal routine: warm up, cool down, repeat. This contrast is a time‑tested approach for relaxation and recovery after hiking, cycling, or diving.

Summer to summer: outdoor pools for sunshine and play

From approximately 1 May to 15 September (weather permitting), two outdoor pools open on site—one for adults and one just for children. The large outdoor pool includes a crane to assist guests with reduced mobility, supporting a more inclusive swim for everyone in your group.

Families will also find children’s entertainment in high season, adding playful balance to your wellness‑first itinerary.

Make it a full wellness day

Wellness at Camping Les Medes blends seamlessly with its coastal setting and on‑site amenities. Here’s how to craft a relaxing day from morning to evening:

1. Gentle start and sauna session

   • Begin slowly with light stretching, then enjoy a sauna to warm muscles and quiet the mind.

2. Indoor swim and cool‑down

   • Transition to the indoor heated pool for a calm swim. Remember your swimming cap.

3. Professional massage

   • Book a massage to target specific tension from hiking, cycling, or diving. A professional treatment can support circulation and help reduce post‑exercise soreness.

4. Nourish well

   • Refuel at the snack bar‑pizzeria (open all year) for something casual, or sit down at the restaurant (01 April–31 October) with either set menus or à la carte options. Take‑away meals are available on request—perfect if you want to relax back at your pitch or bungalow.

5. Sunset strolls and easy evenings

   • The beach is about 800 m from the campsite, ideal for a gentle walk. Wind down the day with quiet time or a family game before turning in.

Active experiences that complement recovery

Pair your wellness time with low‑impact outdoor fun:

• Diving and snorkeling with Aquàtica

  • On site, Aquàtica runs diving trips, training courses, introductory dives, and guided snorkeling excursions around the Medes Islands and Montgrí Natural Park.

• Cycling, from easy rides to multi‑day routes

  • Bicycle rental is available on site, and there’s a room to store bikes plus a self‑repair shop with basic tools. If you’re tackling the Ter River cycling itinerary, the campsite can take you and your bikes to the starting point and even forward luggage to the hotels booked along the route.

• Family time by the pools

  • In summer, mix spa‑style rest with time at the outdoor pools, including the dedicated children’s pool.

Sustainable by design

Wellness feels even better when it aligns with responsible operations. Camping Les Medes has maintained an ISO 14001 environmental‑management system since 1999. In January 2023, the campsite installed 270 photovoltaic panels expected to generate about 130,000 kWh per year—roughly 25–30% of total electricity demand. Looking ahead, the goal is to cover 50% of consumption with solar power by 2030, and 100% by 2050.

This commitment supports a lighter footprint for your holiday and reflects a long‑term approach to environmental care on the Costa Brava.
