Cypsela Pals Site no: CB014

At a Glance

Customer Rating

A top quality parc only 5km from the ancient hilltop village of Pals.

Camping Cypsela is not so much a parc, more an entire holiday complex. Situated within a pine wooded area, the parc is just over a mile from the beach of Playa de Pals. The large pool complex, with its waterfall, sun-terrace and open air bar, is like that of a luxury hotel. Teenagers can enjoy a wide range of sports, whilst the adventure play area and indoor children’s activity centre will be popular with younger children. The parc rules are fairly strictly enforced.

New! Please note all our mobile home accommodation is now located close to the main facilities (section B).

Take a look at some of the local recommendations for days out and activities our customers have shared with us following their holiday at Cypsela.

"Definitely go to Barcelona - it's a beautiful city; the beach is great and there is a lovely café/restaurant on the beach which serves the best pizza I've ever eaten! The beaches of Pals were all lovely."
G. Drillsma, East Sussex

"The best place without doubt is the town of Estartit thanks to the superb restaurants, shopping and leisure activities. There's also free parking on the soft sandy beach - excellent and the family favourite by far."
A. Croucher, West Sussex

"The old town of Pals is very beautiful and Figueres was interesting with the Dali museum. Begur and Cadaques are both very picturesque and worth visiting."
L. Pryke, Kent

"We visited Barcelona and Girona, both lovely days out. However, finding a car park was difficult as we had a top-box and a lot of the parking seemed to be underground with height restrictions so some research before travel would be worthwhile. Pals is beautiful and we really enjoyed the seaside towns too."
P. Burrows, Colchester

"Pals is very pretty, by day and night. We followed the coastal path from Playa de Pals and found more pretty beaches. There's also an excellent pizza restaurant/rotisserie just up the road from the parc."
A. Bradburn, Hertfordshire

"We really enjoyed Aqua Brava waterpark in Roses and Barcelona was lovely. The free bus to the beach from the parc was great."
S. Coombs, Essex

"Llafranc beach is one of our favourites, along with the beautiful sandy beach at Aigua Blava with a clear blue sea. Calella is great for eating out in the evening and Begur is worth a visit for tapas."
A. Richardson, Leicestershire

"Palafrugell Sunday market is worth a visit and Estartit is great for scuba diving, snorkelling and restaurants. Playa d'Aro has a fantastic waterpark, Aquadiver, as well as some good shops and Peratallada has some excellent restaurants."
A. Walsh, Co. Antrim
