How the Camping Aquarius reception personalises your plans
The reception team’s approach is friendly, structured, and multilingual (Dutch, English, French, German and Spanish), so nothing gets lost in translation.
The personalisation playbook (what actually happens)
- A quick discovery chat: Who’s going (adults, kids, grandparents), preferred pace, interests (sport, culture, nature), and any accessibility needs.
- Match to themes that fit you: The campsite organises excursions that spotlight the region’s diversity—sport, culture, and the surrounding nature—so recommendations map neatly to what you love.
- Logistics handled for you:
- Transport: Reception can organise punctual taxi or shuttle transfers on request.
- On-site mobility: Car-rental service available on the campsite if you prefer to self-drive; a 22 kW semi‑fast EV charger (Mennekes-type) is in the entrance car park.
- Bikes: No bicycle? No problem—bike rental is available on site; you can also join guided cycling tours.
- Seamless day design: Suggestions blend on-site activities (e.g., yoga, multi-sport courts, weekly tournaments) with nearby highlights so your day flows without downtime.
For inspiration at any time, browse the on-site and local options here:
If you love sport: wind, wheels, and well-planned workouts
A stay “right on the endless sandy beach of Sant Pere Pescador” makes water and wind your daily backdrop.
Water sports at your doorstep
- LaWind water sports centre sits right next to the campsite. Expect the latest in kitesurfing, catamaran, stand up paddle, and wind/kitesurf gear, plus courses for different levels.
- A recognised diving site is about 15 km from the campsite; reception can help you arrange an excursion there.
Cycling made easy (road and MTB)
- On-site bike rental means you can ride without bringing your own kit.
- Love road climbs or scenic loops? The team can point you to standout rides—from routes to the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes and the medieval villages of the Costa Brava to greenway miles on the Vías Verdes/Pirinexus network. MTB fans get nature-filled options like laps around Lake Banyoles or long, easy trails between the Costa Brava and the Pyrenees.
- Prefer company? Guided cycling tours depart from the campsite—ask reception for the current schedule.
On-site sport to bookend your day
- Daily yoga classes and a dedicated outdoor yoga zone (available from sunrise to sunset) help you warm up or wind down.
- Football, basketball, and volleyball courts host seasonal tournaments—friendly competition that’s easy to join. Check the weekly activities calendar on the website, app, or at reception.
Easy add-ons nearby
- Tennis facilities are approximately 8 km away; the team will provide directions or assist with bookings.
- The nearest golf course is around 8 km.
Tip: If you’re mapping an early start, the reception can set you up with a taxi/shuttle, and if you’re travelling electric, plan a top-up at the 22 kW charger by the entrance while you dine or relax.
If you crave culture: from Dalí to ancient ruins
The Costa Brava layers history and modern art within short striking distance.
- The region showcases Iberian settlements, Greco-Roman ruins, and works from Catalan Modernism. Reception will happily steer you to standout stops and the best sequence for your schedule.
- Many guests pair beach time with a visit to the Dalí museum in Figueres—ask for directions, opening considerations, and transport options.
- Looking for family-friendly fun between museum stops? Reception can help book nearby attractions like water parks, go-kart tracks, and even wind-tunnel flights for an unforgettable day.
If you want nature (and family time): wetlands, coast paths, and beach days
You’re surrounded by one of Catalonia’s most biodiverse corners.
- Aiguamolls de l’Empordà Natural Park is a short drive or cycle and offers accessible trails, lookouts, rest areas, and educational panels for all ages—ideal for birdwatching and peaceful walks.
- Prefer to start right from camp? The team recommends walks that begin within minutes of the grounds, from coastal paths along the Bay of Roses to easy-to-moderate trails in nearby wetlands.
- Fancy a wellness twist? Ask about a natural hot spring site roughly 50 km away for a relaxing excursion.
Families benefit from on-site balance, too: a supervised Kids’ Club in a purpose-built play centre and a staffed indoor play area give children safe, engaging activities while adults enjoy shorter outings or a yoga session.
