El Delfin Verde Playa d’Aro *****
General information
Glamping between the mountains and the Costa Brava
This campsite on the Costa Brava is a great place for swimming. The whole family can enjoy some watery fun in the three swimming pools.

Between the palm trees and flowers you will find no fewer than four swimming pools. The water park at this campsite in Spain has swimming pools for all ages. The large pool is good for diving. Or try the four slides of the new pool! The little ones can splash endlessly in the paddling pool near the lighthouse. Would you like to relax? The warm whirlpool is the perfect place for it. Or you can sit and enjoy the sun around the pools. The walk to the beach is less than half an hour. The Costa Brava near Platja d'Aro is a great place to sunbathe.For athletic families
Families that like to be active will have a great time at El Delfin Verde Playa d’Aro campsite. Play miniature golf with the kids on the golf course. Or play a game of tennis or padel; a kind of tennis that is played in a cage. The children can play soccer and basketball with the other kids from the site. You can use that time to do a spot of shopping. You'll find everything you need in the two supermarkets. Don't you feel like cooking tonight? Then choose a table in one of the two restaurants.The convenience of glamping
El Delfin Verde Playa d’Aro feels like a large park. You will be spending your holiday among the many palm trees, flowers and other Mediterranean vegetation. The bungalow tents and glam lodge tents are ideal for camping with the whole family. They all have their own well-equipped kitchen.Wild water adventure and city trips
For a wild water adventure you don't have to go far from El Delfin Verde Playa d’Aro campsite. Aquadiver, a mega-sized aqua park, is located in Platja d’Aro. Here you can race down towering slides and play on large water play houses. And of course you can swim for hours. Fancy a city break? Then take your family to Barcelona.

Here you can visit Arab bathhouses, the cathedral and the city square.
