Families visiting the destination have the opportunity to book one, two, three or four days, as well as five full days of the camp. Kids will fulfill their soccer dreams while also exploring the Floating City’s sights and landmarks. While the kids are running around the pitch, parents can treat themselves to a day of relaxation at JW Spa or soaking up the sun and beautiful views at the adults-only rooftop infinity pool.
