Booking
You can book:
- At our website www.sandaya.co.uk
- By calling our booking centre or using our contact form
Your booking is finalised after you have paid the 30% deposit for your stay, which can be done with a bank card when the booking is made. Deposits must be paid for all bookings.
Use our website and make as many bookings as accommodation options you require. For this kind of request, you can contact us using our contact form.
All accommodation options have a maximum capacity in terms of number of people, including babies. When you arrive, the number of people cannot exceed the capacity of the accommodation booked.
When you book, you can tick the "choice of pitch" option, then say what you would like, provide the number of the pitch, or specify side-by-side in the "comments" field. A charge applies for this (€30/blocked stay). If the pitch is unavailable, the campsite will get back to you to suggest another pitch.

Modifying my booking
For any request to change your stay, please contact the campsite at which you booked or ask to change your booking via your My Sandaya-My account area.
If you have not taken out the Liberty option, you can no longer change your booking once it has been validated.
If you have taken out the Liberty option, you can change your stay under the following conditions:
- Up to and including 14 days before arrival, the stay can be changed free of charge if it is due to take place during the current season.
- The stay can be deferred to new dates (within the same season) and/or to a new campsite within the Sandaya group, excluding Baia Holiday partner campsites. The stay cannot be deferred to the following season.
- Any difference in price between the old and new stay at the time this modification is made is to be paid by the customer. Should the new stay be less expensive than the old stay, the difference in cost will not be refunded.
- From 13 days before arrival, and for any stay that has already begun, the stay can no longer be changed.
The time limits are calculated from the date of receipt of the modification request form.
Cancelling my booking
For all cancellation requests, go to your My Sandaya-My account area and the “My Stays” section. Select your stay and then click on “Cancel my booking”.
We would remind you that, in application of the measures set out in article L221-28 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, none of the services offered by Sandaya are subject to a right of withdrawal. As a result, any cancellation made by the customer after booking and before departure will have the following consequences:
- In the event of a cancellation up to 30 days before the planned date of arrival, Sandaya will retain the deposit paid by the customer.
- In the event of a cancellation from 29 days before the planned date of arrival, the customer has an obligation to pay the total price of the stay.
If you have taken out the Liberty option, you benefit from flexible cancellation conditions for your stay:
- Up to and including 30 days before arrival, the stay can be cancelled without charge and the sums already paid will be refunded in full (after deduction of the Liberty option fee).
- From 29 days and up to and including 14 days before arrival, the stay can be cancelled with the payment of a fixed cancellation charge of €90. Only the sums already paid at the time the cancellation is requested will be refunded, after deduction of the cancellation charge and the Liberty option fee.
- From 13 days before arrival, and for any stay that has already begun, no refund may be made.
- If the payment has been made partially or totally with a credit note, the amount refunded may not concern this credit note. However, the latter may be refunded on request, 18 months after its issue date, or used for a future booking.
The time limits are calculated from the date of receipt of the cancellation request form.
If you have taken out cancellation insurance, you are subject to the cancellation conditions received by your insurer. We will study your case in light of the cancellation conditions subscribed to with the latter.
Unused services
Any stay that is curtailed or shortened (late arrival, early departure) by you may not give rise to any refund.
Children
Our campsites welcome children aged 5 and over for an activity supervised by an entertainer. Please remember to book a place for your child as activities are restricted in terms of numbers.
Here with Sandaya, families are always welcome!
The maximum capacity displayed for our rental units includes all those participating in the stay, including children and babies.
Good news: on a camping pitch, there’s no additional charge for children under 3 years throughout the season, or for children aged 3 to 7 years old in low season!
Pets
Pets are allowed on pitches and in rental accommodation at some of our campsites (except for Premium) for a fixed daily price payable at the time of booking. Pets must be kept on leads and be fully vaccinated. Please note that the rabies vaccine is mandatory.
"Leaving pets unattended on a pitch, or tied up or left in a car or in rental accommodation, is prohibited. Dogs deemed by law to be dangerous (France's category 1 and 2) will not be permitted into the campsite".
