Infrastructure to entertain and relax!
It’s one of the most popular spots for our vacationers: the pool! From May to the end of September, our 15x8m heated outdoor pool brings joy to both young and old who love to swim in it no matter the weather. In addition to the large pool, the little ones also have a paddling pool at their disposal to play and splash in this space specially reserved for them. All around, a spacious solarium allows you to relax and fully enjoy the generous sun of the Basque Country. So, ready to dive in?
At Zelaia, we understand how challenging it can be to keep the little ones entertained during the holidays. For them and for you, we provide a mini-club to welcome children aged 6 to 12 during the summer season in July and August. In our Family Campsite Basque Country, our entertainers offer them several times a week to participate in all kinds of fun and creative activities such as painting or treasure hunts. The rest of the time, they can freely access the dedicated playground to let off steam and make new friends!
We also organize family-friendly entertainment in high season! For outdoor game enthusiasts, we have set up a boules court where you can challenge your friends or other campers in friendly matches. We also have a fantastic volleyball court and two ping-pong tables, as well as an arcade room where you can find a pinball machine and foosball. Our animation team does everything to provide you with moments of entertainment and conviviality!
