The best zen activities to do at a 5-star campsite

Take a deep breath, take some time out for yourself, find a peaceful rhythm… What if your vacation became a true wellness ritual?

In a campsite with a sauna hammam in Vendée , you can reconnect with the essentials without sacrificing comfort.

In the heart of the pine forest or just a stone’s throw from the ocean, everything invites you to slow down. Some activities are practiced in silence, others with gentle movement, and all have a single goal: to reconnect you with what your body and mind truly crave.

High-end stays then take on a whole new dimension. They are no longer interludes, but deep breaths.

Les Places Dorées , your 4-star campsite in Saint-Jean-de-Monts, invites you to discover its zen experiences, designed to enhance your vacation.

Recharge your batteries in a wellness space designed for body and mind

The first reflex when we talk about relaxation is to visualize a gentle steam enveloping the body. At the campsite with sauna hammam in Vendée , this image comes to life every day, in a space dedicated to well-being , open to adults.

 

You begin with a few minutes in the hammam , enveloped in a humid heat scented with eucalyptus. Your pores open, your breathing becomes freer, and your skin naturally glows. As you leave, head to the sauna : a dry, high-temperature environment, perfect for stimulating blood circulation and releasing every last bit of tension.

 

Then comes the jacuzzi . The hot water and massaging jets envelop your back, neck, and legs. You do nothing, your body does everything.

 

→ A three-step ritual :
→ Hammam to purify
→ Sauna to relax
→ Jacuzzi to relax

 

You can repeat the sequence several times, alternating with a cool shower , as spa specialists suggest (it helps to re-energize the body without any particular effort).

 

Les Places Dorées , your campsite with jacuzzi in Vendée , has designed this space so that every minute counts (even the quietest ones).

Meditate in the water and slow down to the rhythm of the body

The aquatic space isn’t just for splashing around. It also becomes a place for moving meditation , especially when you choose quiet times.

 

The outdoor pool or indoor pool at the campsite with spa in Vendée welcomes you in a temperate atmosphere. You can practice conscious floating : your body stretched out, eyes half-closed, focusing solely on the contact with the water and your breathing.

 

→ It’s a way to meditate without sitting down, without formality, just by really slowing down .

 

The jacuzzi’s bubbles or the hot water cascade create an enveloping, almost maternal effect. This allows for natural relaxation without any special techniques (and without the need for meditation experience).

 

The benefits are immediate: relaxed muscles, clear mind, better channeled energy.

 

A relaxing camping holiday in Vendée is not just a program, it is a state (and this is often what holidaymakers are looking for first and foremost without always daring to express it).

Breathe in nature during a meditative bike ride

With just a few pedal strokes, you’ll enter another space and time. From the campsite, bike rides in Vendée take you between pine forests, ocean beaches, and perfectly maintained cycle paths.

 

Les Places Dorées offers bike rental at the Vendée campsite, including electric bikes if needed. This allows you to focus on breathing, observation, and the rhythm of your breathing… not on performance.

 

→ You can stop at the edge of the forest
→ Sit facing the dunes
→ Take a deep breath and consciously pause

 

This is sometimes called a mobile yoga practice , which combines breathing , gentle walking (or slow cycling), and awareness of the landscape.

 

It is also a way to access nature without constraints, taking full advantage of the preserved environment which surrounds the campsite near the beach in Vendée .

 

You come back feeling calm, energized, ready to continue the day without mental overload (and without having run after anything).

 

Morning Stretches: The Zen Ritual to Adopt at Sunrise

The calm of the morning offers a rare moment: when the campsite is still asleep, and the air is perfectly pure.

 

The Places Dorées, with its green spaces and multi-sports ground , makes it easy to improvise a morning stretching session while camping . No equipment is necessary: just a mat, a towel or even a beach towel.

 

We start with gentle movements to wake up the spine, we continue with a few held postures, then we finish with slow, deep breathing .

 

→ The idea is not to do sport
→ But to activate the body with kindness
→ And to create an airlock between sleep and an active day

 

This type of practice promotes better energy management, a more stable posture and lasting inner calm (especially if repeated every morning).

 

The campsite also offers an outdoor fitness room in the Vendée campsite , for those who want to go further, always with a gentle approach.

 

The final word

 

True luxury, sometimes, lies in the simplicity of a moment well lived.

 

Whether it’s at a campsite with a sauna and hammam in Vendée , during a walk on the slopes, or in the silence of the morning, everything is already there. You just have to allow yourself to fully enjoy it.

 

Les Places Dorées , your relaxing camping stay in Vendée , creates these tailor-made breaks to reconnect you with what really matters (and that changes a lot of things, often from the first few days).
