Oasis Village

If the pools and slides on-site aren’t providing enough distraction, no one has to travel far to take it up a notch: the coastal town of Fréjus, 15 minutes’ drive away, is a top spot for embarking on windsurfing, jetskiing and sailing adventures; it's also home to the watery kingdom of Aqualand and a stunning and sandy Mediterranean beach. Fréjus was also the first military harbour on the Roman Mediterranean coast, so spending some time poking around the archaeological museum and Roman ruins come highly recommended… before returning to the present with a day among the exotic animals at the nearby zoo. This is a stunning stretch of coastline, and one that’s especially popular with the glitterati. Increase chances of spotting celebs and get a taste of that jetset life with day trips to Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez and Monaco, all within roughly an hour of base, or keep coastal excursions confined to passing a day (or two) among the aquariums, Wild West Farm, Aquasplash and adventure golf of Marineland in Antibes. When the salty breeze becomes too much, turn steps inland for explores in the Préalpes d’Azur Regional National Park, where lofty trails and the stunning Verdon Gorge await.
