When camping flirts with the spa
Today, more and more 4 and 5-star campsites are offering their holidaymakers spa facilities. The idea? To offer a moment of intense relaxation, accessible to all, without having to leave the campsite. Between two excursions or after a busy day, what could be better than lounging in a bubbling bath or having a gentle massage under a jet shower?
These facilities cater for families, couples and solo travellers alike. You'll often find :
- Jacuzzis and whirlpools outdoors or indoors,
- Hammams and saunas to eliminate toxins,
- Rest areas with herbal tea room or solarium,
- And sometimes even massages, body treatments or facials, by prior arrangement.
The benefits of balneotherapy... even on holiday
While balneotherapy has recognised health benefits - improving circulation, relieving joint pain, reducing stress - it also has a direct impact on morale. And that's what it's all about when you're on holiday: relaxing body and mind to the full.
The campsite setting, often in the heart of nature, reinforces this feeling of escape. It's an ideal combination: get some fresh air in the morning, rejuvenate at the spa in the afternoon, and sleep like a baby at night.
Well-being campsites to suit all tastes
Whether you're in a tent, mobile home, converted van or unusual accommodation, there are spa campsites to suit all budgets and tastes. Here are a few examples of places that harmoniously combine nature, comfort and relaxation:
- In Brittany, campsites close to the sea offer spa areas with ocean views.
- In the Alps, there are outdoor Nordic baths to try out after a hike.
- In Provence and the Languedoc region, a number of establishments are focusing on balneotherapy and well-being treatments in a Mediterranean setting.
The little extra: themed wellness breaks
Some campsites go even further by offering 100% wellness holidays: open-air yoga, meditation classes, breathing workshops, healthy eating, gentle walks... Everything you need for a real Zen break.
