Vacation village with swimming pool:
more of a sun lounger or a swimmer?

For deckchair aficionados

It sounds paradoxical, but resting requires effort. Don’t you think so? Yet many people come back from vacation tired or exhausted, even though they felt they’d done nothing. Because in reality, relaxing can be hard work. To make the most of your next vacation in a vacation village with swimming pool, follow the advice given below.

Take a nap on your deckchair

It seems obvious, but to get a good night’s rest, you need to get enough sleep. Yet the French are sleep-deprived (according to Inserm, they have lost 1 h 30 of sleep over the last 50 years). Take advantage of your vacation by the pool to take a nap in the shade of a parasol. This will help erase your sleep debt.

Rest is constant exercise

To make the most of your deckchair, alternate physical and mental activities. Science tells us that brain cell growth occurs through a combination of physical activity and adequate rest. If you swim a few laps in the pool at your own pace, you create the conditions for the regeneration of brain cells that occurs during sleep. And after a few lengths, return to your deckchair, where a good book or sudoku awaits you!

It’s not just your deckchair!

Even if you feel so comfortable in your deckchair that you really, really don’t want to leave it, try to get out of the vacation village and discover the world around you. Take a short stroll in nature or by the water. The advantage of Azureva vacation villages is that they are located in the most beautiful regions of France, like Club Azureva*** d’Hendaye in the Basque Country, Saint-Cyprien, Argelès-sur-Mer. So there’s no shortage of walking trails starting from our villages, and no shortage of opportunities to get out and about.

A pool for sport addicts

Sports enthusiasts can also enjoy a stay in a vacation village with a swimming pool, because the opportunity to work up a sweat is right on your doorstep!

Swimming or resting?

Going to a vacation village with swimming pool is an opportunity to see new landscapes, relax and unwind. However, if you’re an athlete all year round, should you exercise during your vacation, or take a break? To be honest, it depends on the length of the break. If you give yourself a whole week off, with just a few dips in the vacation village pool now and then, your fitness won’t deteriorate. So the truth is, if you take less than a two-week break from sport, it’s up to you whether you prefer swimming or sunbathing.

The benefits of swimming

There are a few good reasons to get active during your stay in a vacation village with swimming pool. Most people feel better when they stay active and stick to some semblance of routine when away from home. What’s more, with all the good food prepared by the chefs at Azureva vacation villages, you’re likely to give in to gluttony, so physical activity will help you compensate for any vacation excesses. Doing laps in the pool, at a steady pace, is excellent for burning calories! Other tips for staying in shape include taking part in the village’s dance activities, or setting the dance floor alight after dark.

Exercising during the vacations is therefore beneficial from many points of view, provided that you know how to be reasonable and take advantage of the deckchair from time to time to recharge your batteries!
