During your stay, you will be accommodated in a comfortable eco dome accommodation, with rooms of 2 to 3 people. Sanitary facilities in the rooms. This accommodation inspired by ancestral techniques is made of earth. It allows a thermal balance without heating or air conditioning throughout the year.
Here, you will have everything nearby. The restaurant, the nautical base, the swimming pool, the bar and its terrace. It is an ideal place to relax. We hope you love the ecological approach on this site as much as we do, not only with the eco domes, but also the energy autonomy thanks to the area's solar energy set up.

UCPA Planète, worldwide resorts, is a product that has been created by UCPA, but as they are not hosted in UCPA specific centres so they can be very different.
- Trips are usually hosted by a hotel, so you will not necessarily be sharing with others and may have your own room (please check rooming above).
- All meals are included, but they are not necessarily buffet style within the hotel, they may be at other restaurants around the resorts. A great opportunity to soak in evening atmosphere and try different cuisines!
- There may be non-UCPA clients in the hotel that you are staying in. UCPA will have a select number of rooms within the hotel.
- As these are new products to us, we do not have as many UK clients travelling to these destinations yet, but they have been running for a few years now and starting to gain popularity very quickly amongst UCPA fans. This may however mean that there are not as many English speaking travellers in these destinations, but as always, basic English is required of staff and instructors.
- Hotel dependent, but UCPA do not always provide evening entertainment so this may be down to you and your course group to arrange your evening activities.
- These amazing products give you the opportunity to take on new sports on improve on current skills in fantastic destinations. It's all about getting to know the local areas and culture.
