Fun in the water at the
Sunêlia Le Petit Bois campsite
Been waiting ages for this? The first dip to kick off your holiday season in style. The Sunêlia Le Petit Bois campsite has a pool complex with something for everyone. You can sunbathe on the loungers in the sand by the lagoon, swim a few lengths of the indoor pool, or help the kiddies get used to the water by splashing about in the paddling pool of the outdoor area. With its exotic lagoon and beach, the pool complex is a place buzzing with happiness and togetherness where you’ll make your best holiday memories.
The campsite is just a stone’s throw away from the waves breaking on the beaches of South Brittany. Loire-Atlantique is all about beaches where you can discover the joys of watersports and the techniques of beach foraging, or simply learn how to build a gigantic sand castle.
Our pool complex
Outdoor heated pool
Peak season: 10am-8pm
Heated to a constant temperature of 28°C, the outdoor pool is open from May and until the end of the season. From its central island you can spot the water jets and waterfall of the spa area, or swim a few lengths to feel completely relaxed. The outdoor pool area is also the scene of many a battle: water polo, aquagym, mini olympics and many more energetic activities in the water, for those who like to release tension by letting off steam.
Fun pools for the children
Peak season: 10am-8pm
Children enjoy peace of mind in the safety of a paddling pool separated by a wooden railing from the main outdoor pool. This very shallow pool features a small slide to offer children their first thrills, in water heated to 28°C so they won’t get cold. So bring your camera to capture those timeless moments forever.
Just next to this pool are 3 water slides that will appeal to daredevils. The separate pool at the bottom means you can safely try whichever technique you fancy. To pick up as much speed as possible, anything goes! A chance for quality time with your family, a fulfilling experience amid fits of laughter, challenges and new sensations.
Indoor heated pool
Peak season: 10am-8pm
Just because spring sometimes comes with the last cool breezes, it doesn’t mean you can’t get your swimming costume out. The Sunêlia Le Petit Bois campsite has a heated indoor pool which happens to be adjacent to the terrace of the bar, for double the pleasure! Under the glass roof, you can enjoy the gentle warmth as soon as the campsite opens in April.
The lagoon and sandy beach
Open from April, the turquoise lagoon pool is gently heated by the sun of Loire-Atlantique and can reach 27°C in summer. In step with its environment, the naturally-treated lagoon beckons you to laze on its beach. With your feet in the sand, you’ll need your sunglasses and sun hat to make the most of the good life on the Côte d’Amour. The gentle slope into the water offers you total peace of mind as you watch the children play.
Beaches of Loire-Atlantique
Beaches of Mesquer-Quimiac
Is your beach bag ready? Prepare for a trip to the most beautiful beaches of Mesquer-Quimiac. Just a few minutes away, Lanséria beach has lifeguards in summer, which makes it ideal for families. If you continue to the Pointe de Merquel a little further away, you’ll find yourself at the ‘world’s end’, gazing out at the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean. If you prefer a more intimate atmosphere, head for the beaches of Le Moulin and Les Epis, little coves where all you can hear is the breaking of waves.
Beaches of Piriac-sur-Mer
This picture-postcard town is full of character. Stroll through its narrow cobblestone streets before taking the family to Saint-Michel beach. This lifeguarded beach can be reached with a pushchair and has its own kids club with activities and team games, all day long in July & August. You can then follow the coastal path to discover the treasures of South Brittany. The semaphore standing at the Pointe du Castelli, the rocks with amazing shapes and incredible names like dent de madame, trou du moine fou or grotte du chat, and the panoramic views stretching all the way to île d’Houat almost seem unreal! But this is not a mirage.
Watersports near the campsite
Does the open sea beckon? Heed its call! The South Brittany coast is the perfect playground in which to try new watersports. You’ll be spoilt for choice, with kitesurfing, windsurfing, jet skiing and many more ways to make friends with the ocean waves.
Our tip: take advantage of a low tide to unveil the secrets of beach foraging. Who knows, you may even harvest enough for dinner!
