How Seasonal Pool Operations Work at Montmarsis
At Montmarsis, the main outdoor swimming pool is a seasonal facility, opening in the warmer months when poolside relaxation is at its best. While the holiday village welcomes guests from 1 January to 31 December, the outdoor pool follows a summer‑season rhythm so you can enjoy comfortable water and sunny lounging conditions.
Because travel plans vary, the best way to align your stay with pool access is to check your specific dates before booking. You can reserve directly via montmarsis.com or contact our team by phone or email for tailored guidance. This ensures your itinerary—family swims, nap schedules, dining plans—lines up perfectly with pool availability.
Family‑Friendly Features That Make Pool Days Easy
Montmarsis is designed to keep families relaxed and entertained in a single, leafy setting:
- Dedicated children’s pool for younger swimmers, right beside the main pool for easy supervision.
- Sun loungers for parents and caregivers who want to unwind within close reach of the water.
- Cuisine Pure (on‑site restaurant) serving international dishes with halal, kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten‑free, and dairy‑free options—ideal for diverse family needs.
- Bar for refreshing drinks and poolside breaks.
- Picnic areas if you prefer a simple outdoor lunch between swims.
- Playgrounds, sandpit, and swings to keep energy high when it’s time to dry off.
- Games room for shaded, indoor fun during peak sun hours.
- Sports on site including tennis, table tennis, billiards, pétanque, and darts.
- Library when calm, quiet time with a book is the perfect cooldown.
Plan a Perfect Pool Day (Step by Step)
- Start early: Enjoy a calm morning swim before the day warms up. Families often find early sessions easiest for little ones.
- Midday shade and refuel: Move into shade during peak sun. Choose a sit‑down meal at Cuisine Pure or a relaxed picnic in designated areas.
- Nap and reset: Return to your accommodation for a breather. Villas and Safari Glamping tents offer private terraces with outdoor furniture, and comfort amenities like heated towel rails to dry swimwear.
- Afternoon activities: Split the group by interests—another dip in the pool, a friendly tennis match, or story time in the library.
- Evening unwind: Wrap up with a leisurely walk through the gardens, a game of pétanque, or a family dinner on the terrace. Communal barbecue facilities are available if you’re in the mood for a casual cookout.
Pro tip: Villas and 5‑star Safari Glamping tents include a dishwasher and tea/coffee maker for effortless mealtimes and quick pick‑me‑ups. Each villa also includes a private washing machine, and the luxury Safari Glamping tents feature a private washing machine too—handy for rinsing swim gear after a big day.
Safety Checklist for Parents and Guardians
Use these simple, widely recommended practices to keep pool time fun and low‑stress:
- Designate an adult water watcher: Keep eyes on children at all times. Rotate supervision duties in pairs to avoid fatigue.
- Swim within comfort zones: Encourage kids to use the children’s pool if they’re learning or prefer shallower water.
- Use appropriate flotation aids: Choose well‑fitting floaties or vests for confidence but don’t rely on them in place of active supervision.
- Sun smart routine: Reapply sunscreen regularly, wear hats, and take cooling breaks in shade—especially around midday.
- Hydration first: Keep water bottles handy and schedule drink breaks.
- Non‑slip habits: Walk (don’t run) on wet surfaces and use sandals or water shoes with grip.
- Set family rules: Agree on boundaries before entering the water (which pool, entry/exit points, buddy pairs).
- Pack a post‑swim plan: Dry off, snack, and rest to prevent overtiredness—especially for the youngest swimmers.
Accessibility and Comfort Considerations
Montmarsis welcomes guests of all ages and provides a comfortable environment for travelers with reduced mobility:
- Facilities for disabled guests are available across shared areas.
- PMR houses are designed for reduced‑mobility access.
- Many villas are single‑level (plain‑pied), minimizing interior stairs for easier movement with strollers or mobility aids.
