Andorra Mountain Music

This summer you’ll be able to go to concerts and listen to live music again! We introduce you the Andorra Mountain Music: an open-air music festival in a unique setting with some of the biggest stars on the current music scene. Find out about it here!

Andorra Mountain Music in the heart of nature

This festival will be special for many reasons.

Firstly, because we will be jumping, dancing and singing again, after a year in which we have had to cut back on all the social events.

Secondly, because of the location of the event, at more than 1,800 metres above sea level, surrounded by nature and mountains. From where you can enjoy good live music and sessions with the best dj’s but also spectacular sunsets and starry skies. The Andorra Mountain Music will be held in Soldeu, just 2 minutes by car from the Els Llacs flats.

And of course, the third, because it will be an open-air music festival, where all health and safety measures will be respected.

An exclusive line-up with great artists

The best spas in Andorra for your Easter getaway

Easter is just around the corner. So that you can make the most of your 4-day getaway, we have prepared a list of the spas in Andorra that you can’t miss.

Can you think of a better plan to relax during these 4 days?

 

Park Spa Mountain Wellness Club

In Soldeu, very close to our apartaments, you will find the 4-star Park Piolets hotel, which is part of our group of properties. It has a spa with spectacular views of the mountains, which you can access to enjoy its water area and treatments.

The facilities, unbeatable and brand new in 2019, have a water circuit with a swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, hammam, multiple water jets and an outdoor jacuzzi from where you can watch breathtaking sunsets. Both the gym and the hairdressing and beauty centre are also public and you can make an appointment to change your look or get a manicure. To complete the experience and get away from it all, we suggest you to book a massage or treatment from the menu – you won’t regret it!

If you are travelling with children, this is also the perfect plan. The hotel has arranged a special timetable so that families can enjoy the spa with children from birth onwards. 

The good weather and the longer days are the perfect excuse to go to the spa. Are you in?

 

Caldea: one of Andorra’s must-visit spas

Of course, a visit to the thermal centre is a must on your getaway. This Easter, we recommend that you get a ticket to Inúu, the Caldea spa for over 16s. Choose the time of day you want to visit the centre from morning, afternoon or evening and disconnect in the thermal water baths and jacuzzis. You’ve been waiting for your dose of wellness as a couple! Combine it with a massage or beauty treatment and make the most of the experience.

For families there is the Thermoludic, which you can enter with children from 5 years old. A good time to discover the world of thermalism with them (but you’ll have to wait a little longer to visit, as it will be closed at Easter due to the pandemic).

Although Caldea is one of the spas in Andorra that is located right in the centre, it is also surrounded by mountains and the views are still a real attraction.

 

Appartments with spa

And if that wasn’t enough, at Els Llacs you have the chance to relax without leaving our facilities. Our appartments have a spa overlooking the mountain, super quiet, ideal to include in the route of the spas of Andorra and rest after a day of outdoor activities. There is also a gym so you can keep up with your daily exercise routines – just take the lift to get there!

 

Enjoy Easter in the open air

Our tour of Andorra’s best spas is 100% compatible with other outdoor activities. With the anti-covid regulations in place, Andorra is a destination you can come to this Easter holiday. Get out of your routine during these 4 days, when the rising temperatures remind us that spring has arrived and invites us to take a walk and enjoy the mountains.

Remember, there is no curfew here and the shops and restaurants are open, of course, complying with all safety regulations to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

 

If you have enjoyed the list of the best spas in Andorra, choose your accommodation and make your reservation now.

Start crossing off the days on the calendar, it’s not long now 😉.

Christmas in Andorra: discover all the activities for this holiday

We tell you how Christmas is celebrated in Andorra because, although the situation is not ideal, magic and tradition cannot be missing at this time of year. During this month of December and the beginning of January you will find different Christmas activities, discover them here!

 

Walk through the illuminated streets

The streets become open stages with different decorations and lights in each parish. Walk around and discover all its hidden corners. In Escaldes there are the imaginary worlds of Christmas, a free walk through the streets of the parish where you will come across fun Christmas scenes. The little ones will like them, but the older ones will feel like children again. And the best thing of all: there is no curfew in Andorra, so as long as you wear your mask and respect the stipulated prevention measures, nobody will set a time for you to return to your appartment.

 

There is no Christmas… without a traditional market

In Andorra la Vella the giant Waterwheel, travelling shows or attractions for children are part of the activities planned to make these dates more enjoyable. In addition, at the Christmas market you can enjoy typical products and other “made in Andorra” products such as sausages, cheese or honey. You will also be able to drink hot wine and accompany it with something to eat while you make a stop after shopping.

 

The Nativity scene in Canillo: a Christmas attraction in Andorra

It is worth to go through it and discover scenes from the Nativity composed of life-size figures. There are more than 200 and they are spread all over the village. Here you can breathe Christmas all over the place 😉.

 

The most awaited visit

This year, due to the circumstances we are experiencing, Father Christmas and the Three Wise Men will arrive at all the parishes, but they will not make great parades. They will receive the little ones although they have prepared magic mailboxes in which to leave letters and the help of magic Elves and pages a few days before. 

 

We start the year with music and theatre

Another tradition that cannot be missed is the New Year’s concert that takes place in the national auditorium in Ordino. Also very typical of this time of year is the play “Els Pastorets” which takes place in Sant Julià de Lòria.

 

During the holidays it is also a time to rest

After a tour through the colourful and lively Christmas return to your appartment to regain your strength. Find your little oasis of peace surrounded by mountains and stop by the spa’s jacuzzi while the kids continue to burn off energy in the children’s playground.

 

Like the rest of the year this holiday will also be different, but here you will find everything you need to spend the Christmas holidays in Andorra. Are you joining us?
