The city of Jaén is just weeks away from finalizing preparations for the tender of the Eco Active Resort, an innovative camping resort set to be built on the abandoned site of a former water park, aiming to revitalize the area and create jobs.

Technicians from the promoting company, in collaboration with the Jaén City Council, are putting the finishing touches on the project. Following a recent meeting between Urban Planning officials and the architects, final adjustments are being made so that the tender can be launched before summer.
The City Council will facilitate the development of the camping resort through a patrimonial concession of over 65,000 square meters of land. The promoting company is drafting the project, which the City Council will then adopt for public tender. Should the final awardee not be the original promoter, they will be required to compensate for the drafting costs. Additionally, the City Council will receive a fee for the use of the space.
This Sunday, municipal representatives and the promoting company will meet with the Valdeastillas Neighborhood Association, adjacent to the facilities. The aim is to present how the project will boost the area, including public parking, enhanced security, and expanded public transport with a direct urban bus line.
The Eco Active Resort will offer four types of accommodation: 75 economic bungalows of 27 square meters for four people, 25 premium bungalows for up to six people, 34 motorhome pitches, and 20 fixed tents. The former water park facilities, 80% built, included five excavated pool basins. Three of these will be transformed into functional pools: one with a bar, another with a natural setting, and a third next to the premium bungalows, featuring catering services and potential for independent night opening.
One of the excavated pool basins will be converted into a regulation skate bowl, a unique facility in the capital, designed for skateboard and BMX practice. The project also includes an auditorium in what was intended to be the wave pool, for private shows and events, accessible to both resort guests and the general public. Architects Virginia and Pablo Rusillo are responsible for this design.
Up to 80% of the existing concrete will be reused, and the promoting company aims for an average annual occupancy of 68%. The project is expected to create 29 direct jobs in hospitality, tourism, gardening, security, and lifeguarding, in addition to indirect jobs related to shows and events. The resort will also offer internship opportunities for Vocational Training students in the tourism and hospitality sectors.
The complex will be sustainable, reusing most of its water and minimizing environmental impact. Most facilities are already built, and the rest will be prefabricated structures that can be removed if necessary. Bookings for shows, accommodations, and services will be managed via a mobile app, which will also feature options like a 'farm school' with its own garden and a zip line up to 180 meters long.
