Looking for that perfect mix of seaside fun, pine-scented air, and comfort? Welcome to Camping Sunêlia Les Places Dorées, one of the most popular 5-star campsites in Saint-Jean-de-Monts, on the sun-drenched Vendée coast. Set on about 5 hectares of pine forest, this beautifully landscaped campsite sits just a 15 minute walk from the wide Atlantic beaches and directly next to a network of cycling and walking paths through the dunes and forest. Here, life slows down to the rhythm of waves and laughter. Whether you’re relaxing in the heated pools with slides, enjoying the spa and sauna, or watching your kids dance at the mini-disco, this is what real holiday happiness feels like. The campsite offers modern mobile homes, chalets, and spacious camping pitches, all shaded and well-maintained. Facilities include indoor and outdoor pools, wellness centre, restaurant, bar, children’s club, fitness area, sports courts, bike rental, and much more.

A word from our campsite specialist in the region
I’ve visited many sites in this region, but Sunêlia Les Places Dorées always stands out for its warm atmosphere and ideal balance between comfort and nature. It’s large enough to have everything — pools, wellness, entertainment, restaurants — but small enough (just 5 hectares) to feel personal and relaxed. Guests love the proximity to the beach, reached by a shady forest path, and the quality of the Sunêlia mobile homes, which are spacious, modern, and air-conditioned. The animation team is enthusiastic and ensures smiles from morning yoga to evening shows. If you’re planning a stay, I recommend bringing or renting bikes — the cycling routes through the dunes and pine forests are spectacular. Whether it’s your first time in the Vendée or your tenth, this campsite always feels like a “hidden gem by the ocean”.
