Highlights of a getaway at wellness campsites
Put that spring back in your step with all the health benefits of wellness campsites.
Wellness-centric facilities
When booking your campsite with wellness amenities, you will most likely be looking for specific treatments and therapies. You can tailor your wellness experience to include massage, hydrotherapy, reflexology, saunas, fitness centres, facials, solariums, Turkish baths and various other perks that’ll boost your energy and health on your wellness stay.
Wellness within natural environments
When you choose a wellbeing campsite, it will most likely be located in an area that offers beautiful and natural surroundings. Valleys, rivers and mountains are all typical environments for higher-end campsites to be located in. Explore Bretagne-d’Armagnac and southern Cantal for picturesque surroundings.
Seaside locations for wellness with an ocean view
Good-quality campsites that offer wellness facilities are often based on coastlines or within reach of the seaside. Combine sun, sea and sand into your wellness routine in locations such as Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, Brittany’s Emerald Coast or Le Barcarès and revel in the relaxation and natural healing properties of the ocean.
Unique sporting facilities
Your wellness campsite will no doubt host a wide variety of solo or team sporting activities if you’d like to get some exercise in. Choose something unique such as sunrise hiking, mountain biking, kayaking or try your hand at horse riding or scuba diving in Boisseron. Learn something new while having a relaxing break.
Brush up on some history
Campsites are often located in areas that have great historical or heritage sites. Take a drive around your campsite region or a day trip to see parts of France from the history books such as the Abbaye Royale in Saint-Michel-en-l’Herm, L’Armendeche Lighthouse of Les Sables-d’Olonne or the castles of Loire.
Wellness group activities
Sometimes wellness is even more fun when enjoyed in a group. Certain wellness campsites will offer community-based activities such as Aquafit classes, a thalassotherapy pool session (seawater therapy), couples massages and more. Especially fun if you’re on a girls’ weekend and want to have some laughs as a group of friends.
Luxurious water-based facilities
Wellness and water go hand in hand and most health-centric campsites will offer high-end hydro experiences that will make your wellness journey all the more enjoyable. From heated swimming pools, aquadomes, Jacuzzis, and even natural water, you can expect to experience healing from many sources. Try the natural lagoon of Vias Plage for a next-level natural source of water.
Enjoy local wares, cuisine and culture
Take your group of friends or family out into the neighbouring village to enjoy some of the local wares and cuisine on offer. Areas like Thoux in the Gers region has stunning markets, old-style bistros and cafés to enjoy. Saint-Briac-sur-Mer is famous for its wine and oyster bars and the Candé-sur-Beuvron region offers day trips to the winelands for a nice change of pace.
