Planning a family holiday means timing your pool time just right. Seasonal swimming at Club Les Ormes is designed for comfort and ease, with a heated, covered pool for cooler days and a spacious main pool with a paddling pool when the weather is warm. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly which pools are open when, how they’re equipped, and the family-friendly features—so you can pack confidently and make the most of every swim.
Pool Overview: Heated, Covered, and Family-Ready
Club Les Ormes offers two distinct pool areas to suit different moments of your stay:
- Smaller heated pool (covered): This pool is both heated and covered, ensuring comfortable swimming when temperatures dip. The cover can be opened when it’s warm, so you can enjoy fresh air and sunshine on good-weather days.
- Main pool with paddling pool: The larger pool area includes a separate paddling pool for young children and a sun terrace for lounging between dips.
- Poolside bar and facilities: The poolside bar serves drinks daily from 10:00 to 19:00 and includes a restroom with a child-sized toilet.
- Safety and supervision: The pool areas are secured with mandatory safety fencing. Children may only use the pools under the supervision of a parent.
When open, the pools are accessible daily from 10:00 to 19:00, making it easy to plan morning splashes and late-afternoon cool-downs.
Seasonal Schedule: What’s Open When
To help you plan ahead, here’s how our swimming facilities operate throughout the season.
| Period | Pools available | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Early May – end of June | Smaller heated, covered pool only | Cover can be opened when it’s warm. |
| July – August (high season) | Both pools open: heated, covered pool + main pool with paddling pool | Pool and poolside bar typically run 10:00–19:00. |
| From early September | Smaller heated, covered pool only | Ideal for comfortable swims as temperatures cool. |
Tip: During the early and late season, many facilities remain open, and catering adjusts its opening hours and starts serving food earlier.
