Your 7-Day Multi-Sport Holiday Plan Itinerary
Day 1 — Arrive, settle in, stretch and stroll

- Visit reception (or the app/website) to review the weekly activities calendar and reserve sessions.
- Unwind with light outdoor yoga at the dedicated zone (open from sunrise to sunset). This helps shake off travel stiffness and sets the tone for an active week.

- Afternoon: relax on the gently sloping sandy beach of the Bay of Roses or take a leisurely ping‑pong or pétanque match.
- Evening: if scheduled this week, enjoy live music on site.
Day 3 — Cycle the wetlands: Aiguamolls de l’Empordà loop
- Rent a bicycle on site and ride one of the gentle, flat routes into the Aiguamolls de l’Empordà Natural Park. It’s ideal for all ages and fitness levels.
- Pack picnic supplies from the on‑site supermarket. Use the park’s rest areas and viewpoints to spot wetland wildlife.
