Why Vilanova Park is ideal for wellness on holiday

Vilanova Park combines city access with resort-style wellbeing.

• It’s the closest first-category campsite to Barcelona, perfect for day trips to Gaudí’s icons and La Rambla while returning to calm, green surroundings.
• You’ll find an on-site spa, an indoor pool, and a fully equipped gym to keep your body moving and recovering during your stay.
• The campsite operates year-round, with outdoor swimming pools opening from 28 March and the indoor pool available outside its annual maintenance window.
• Families benefit from kid-friendly activities, a dedicated children’s pool at the Masia complex, and entertainment that makes staying active fun for all ages.

For more ways to move, explore on-site Sports facilities and family Entertainment. When you’re ready to cool off, dip into the Masia Pool or the Park Pool.

Spa and Wellness Centre: heat therapies that help you reset

The on-site Wellness Centre features a sauna, a steam bath, massage services and other heat-therapy treatments. These options pair well with a day of walking in Barcelona or a morning gym session by supporting relaxation and recovery.

• The indoor pool and Wellness-Spa are an additional paid service you can purchase during your stay.
• A bathing cap is required for the indoor pool; you can buy one on site if you didn’t pack your own.
• Annual maintenance: the indoor pool is closed from 6 January to 15 February each year.

How a wellness circuit supports recovery

• Gentle heat (sauna/steam) promotes relaxation and can help loosen tight muscles after travel or exercise.
• Alternating activity (e.g., light swimming) with heat therapy encourages a balanced rhythm of effort and recovery.
• Massage services complement movement classes by targeting specific areas of tension.

Practical info for spa-goers

• Bring or purchase a bathing cap for indoor pool access.
• Plan spa days around the 6 Jan–15 Feb indoor-pool maintenance period.
• Add spa access at reception as needed; it’s separate from standard accommodation.

Indoor Pool and Aquagym: move with low impact, high reward

Aquagym and fitness sessions run Monday to Friday in the indoor pool area. These classes are a refreshing way to stay active with gentle joint loading and dynamic resistance from the water.

• Aquagym is suitable for a wide range of fitness levels because water supports the body while increasing workout intensity.
• Consistency is easy: weekday sessions mean you can weave movement into your daily holiday rhythm.

Who benefits most from Aquagym

• Travellers returning to exercise or looking for a gentler option.
• Active guests cross-training between runs, rides, or gym workouts.
• Families who want a fun, structured session that still feels like play.

Tips to make the most of classes

• Check the weekly activities calendar on site to see which Aquagym and fitness sessions fit your plans.
• Pair a morning class with a relaxed afternoon in the spa for balanced effort and recovery.

The Gym: keep your training on track

Vilanova Park offers a fully equipped gym, making it simple to maintain your routine.

• Strength and cardio sessions complement water-based classes for complete conditioning.
• For variety, take advantage of four multi-purpose courts for football, basketball, and tennis.
• Families can mix fitness with fun at the 12-hole Crazy MiniGolf course and the large jumping pillow.

Tip: Alternate gym days with Aquagym and outdoor activities to avoid overloading the same muscle groups while still staying active daily.

Outdoor pools and family wellness

Alongside the indoor pool, Vilanova Park’s outdoor complexes deliver fresh-air wellness:

• The Masia outdoor pool features a dedicated children’s pool next to the restaurant — perfect for family-friendly downtime.
• The outdoor pool complex includes slide attractions, adding playful movement to your day.
• Outdoor pools open from 28 March each year, aligning beautifully with spring sunshine and longer days.
