A complete Mediterranean holiday village on the edge of a long sandy beach, ideal for a lively beach holiday.

A warm welcome awaits at Club Farret. It’s a member of the Yelloh! Village chain of parcs and lies in the heart of Vias Plage. Situated beside a long stretch of glorious sandy beach, this large, lively parc has excellent facilities and organised entertainment throughout the season. There is an attractive pool complex, which will be extended in 2010 to include an indoor spa, surrounded by a large sunbathing area and the restaurant with panoramic views is overlooked by the pirate themed bar. The parc is divided by a small road that leads to the beach. Most facilities are across the road, separate to where our accommodation is situated. The parc provides fun filled itineraries for children of all ages with it’s children’s clubs.
