Pro Tips
- 1.As a private club, you may need to visit as a guest of a member or inquire about day passes in advance. Contact the club before traveling to confirm access for international visitors.
- 2.Bring reef-safe sunscreen, as Lima's sun can be strong even on cloudy days. The coastal desert climate means UV exposure is high year-round.
- 3.Pack swim shoes for kids as pool decks can get hot. Also bring towels, though some may be available for rental.
- 4.Visit on weekday mornings to avoid weekend crowds when local families fill the facilities.
- 5.La Molina is about 30-40 minutes from central Lima. Use registered taxi services or Uber rather than hailing street cabs for safer transport with kids.
Best Time to Visit
Weekday mornings between 9am-12pm offer the most space and shorter wait times for facilities. January through March (Lima's summer) provides the warmest weather for swimming, though pools are enjoyable year-round due to Lima's mild climate.
