Piscina Prat del Molí

Piscina Prat del Molí is an outdoor swimming pool in central La Massana, a short walk from Hotel Marco Polo. Although the pool is promoted by the hotel and sits nearby rather than inside its guest rooms, it is described as open to the public. That makes it a seasonal option for visitors staying elsewhere in the parish as well as hotel guests. The setting is practical rather than remote: the pool is close to Avinguda de Sant Antoni and the village’s shops, cafés and services, so it can fit into a warm-weather afternoon without a separate mountain excursion.

The pool operates only during the summer period. Hotel Marco Polo’s current service information describes the outdoor pool as free and open to the public from the first weekend of July to the last weekend of August, from 10:00 to 19:00. Its hotel booking information likewise lists access from July through August and the same daily hours. These are seasonal dates, not year-round opening hours; the exact first and last operating days can vary with the calendar and conditions. The published 2026 season is already over by late September, so visitors planning a later trip should check directly with the hotel for the next summer’s opening dates before making the pool part of an itinerary.

The pool is a straightforward place to swim, cool down and spend time outdoors during La Massana’s warmer weeks. The hotel describes it as an outdoor swimming facility and lists it among its guest services, while also stating that the pool is open to the public. A La Massana summer guide identifies a bar and terrace at the pool, though that municipal information is from 2021; treat those amenities as historical context and verify that they remain available in the season you visit. Current operator information does not provide a detailed inventory of facilities, pool dimensions, depth, children’s areas, changing rooms or accessibility arrangements. If any of those details matter to your visit, ask the operator rather than assuming they are provided.

For non-guests, confirm the admission arrangement before travelling. Older La Massana tourism material listed public entry prices and season tickets, but those rates are several years old and should not be treated as current. The hotel’s present service page confirms public access but does not publish a current day-ticket price. Ask whether access is available to non-residents on your selected day, what the current fee is, whether capacity is limited, and what payment methods are accepted. Hotel guests are advised to check whether pool access is included in their particular booking; booking conditions can change.

The address is shown as Av. de Sant Antoni 48, AD400 La Massana, while older local material places the pool at Camí Ral. These descriptions refer to the same central area. The hotel is approximately 200 metres away, according to its own service information. La Massana’s main street has local bus stops and a range of everyday services; check the route and stop that best match your accommodation. If driving, use public parking and follow local signs rather than assuming the pool has dedicated visitor parking. The hotel lists nearby public outdoor parking as a separate paid service, not as pool parking.

The pool is best understood as a warm-season leisure stop, not as a substitute for La Massana’s indoor sports facilities. Its outdoor setting and summer-only schedule make it suited to hot afternoons, a relaxed break after walking or cycling, or a family swim when the facility is operating. Mountain weather can change quickly, and an outdoor pool may close or alter service in poor conditions even within its normal season. Check the day’s status before setting out, especially at the start or end of summer.

Hotel Marco Polo’s restaurant and bar are separate hotel services, with their own schedules and access conditions. Do not assume that pool admission includes food or drink, or that the hotel’s dining hours apply to the pool bar. The available operator material does not establish whether outside food, flotation equipment, swimwear rules, children’s supervision requirements or lockers are permitted or provided. Confirm these practical points with the hotel if they affect your plans. The operator’s published contact channel is its hotel website; calling ahead is the most reliable way to check current public access and seasonal arrangements.

For a visit, bring swimwear, a towel, sun protection and any personal items you need for an outdoor swimming session. No current source reviewed for this listing confirms towel rental, equipment hire, a heated pool, lane-swimming sessions or step-free access. Do not rely on older guidebook prices or dates as guarantees. The useful planning facts are the central La Massana location, the public-access designation and the recurring July–August operating period; the exact annual calendar, admission price and facilities should be checked close to the visit.

This is a modest, convenient summer amenity rather than a major water park or a year-round attraction. Its appeal is the chance to swim outdoors in La Massana without travelling far from the village centre. When the season is open, the daily 10:00–19:00 schedule provides a broad daytime window. Outside that period, visitors should look for an indoor pool or another activity instead. As of September 23, 2026, the published summer period has ended, so treat the facility as seasonally closed unless the operator confirms an exceptional extension.
