Swimming pool

No holiday without a nice swimming pool !!

At our holiday accommodations no strict lifeguards but freedom to play, dive, make water bombs and cool down in the swimming pool. This applies not only for the kids, but also for the parents! For the small ones we have an extra inflatable bath and a water canal system Aquaplay for hours playtime.

Of course there are sufficient moments to just do some laps, read a book while your are floating at your inflatable or take a sunbath on the comfortable sunbeds next to the swimming pool.
