Sunêlia Vacances: Who Are We?
Sunêlia Vacances is a French network of more than 60 high-end 4- and 5-star campgrounds located in France, Spain, Italy, Croatia, and the Netherlands. Since 1997, we have been bringing together independent owners who share the same vision of vacationing: offering stays surrounded by nature, in carefully selected destinations, with quality accommodations and high-end services. Each campground adheres to a strict common charter and undergoes regular quality monitoring. Many of our properties are also certified as “Destination d’Excellence” and “Clef Verte.”
How does the Sunêlia campground network work?
Sunêlia Vacances is a network of independent owners. Each campground is managed by its own owner, who retains their team, identity, and local roots.
We select campsites that share our vision of camping vacations and meet rigorous standards for quality, services, and customer experience. By joining the network, they commit to adhering to a common quality charter while highlighting what makes them unique: their region, their history, and their expertise.
This model allows us to guarantee a common standard of excellence while preserving what makes each campground unique, so we can offer vacation experiences that are true to each destination.
What sets Sunêlia campgrounds apart?
We choose destinations that have a story to tell
Every Sunêlia campground is, above all, a starting point for exploring a new destination. Whether it’s the coast, the mountains, the countryside, a lake, or a vineyard, we select locations that offer much more than just a place to stay. Cultural heritage, scenic landscapes, outdoor activities, fine dining, or encounters with locals… each destination is chosen for the experiences it offers, at your own pace.
We design accommodations to suit every taste
Because everyone experiences their vacation differently, we offer a wide variety of accommodations. Spacious campsites for fans of traditional camping, fully equipped cottages, unique accommodations, and premium chalets: every stay is tailored to your travel style, without compromising on comfort or quality.
We design services that make vacations easier
Restaurants, water parks, spas, kids’ clubs, sports activities, and entertainment… the services offered vary by destination, but all share the same goal: to help you enjoy your vacation to the fullest, with complete ease.
We welcome all kinds of vacation plans
Not everyone experiences vacations the same way. Whether you’re traveling with family, as a couple, with friends, with multiple generations together, or with your dog, everyone should be able to find a vacation that suits them. Our campgrounds are designed to cater to different preferences and lifestyles, with a focus on making everyone feel welcome.
