  • Simple but comfortable gîtes in Sainte-Marie-la-Mer
  • Beach 20 minutes' walk away; Perpignan 20 minutes' drive
  • Private bathroom and terrace area for each gîte; dogs welcome
If you’re planning a trip to the Pyrénées-Orientales region, that probably means you’re hoping for some combination of beaches, vineyards, history-filled towns and natural landscapes filled with wildlife. In short, some of life’s simple pleasures… And if that approach also includes simple accommodation, take a look at Vacances ULVF - Canopéa, in the seaside town of Sainte-Marie-la-Mer. The gîtes here aren’t fancy but they’re fully functional and comfortable – just the thing for a budget-friendly family break or a chilled-out escape with your other half (and/or your dog…) Life is made nice and easy here with self-contained units that you’ll be able to move into without any of the fuss of setting up a tent. Each one has two bedrooms (one double room, the other with two single bunk beds), a shower room, a toilet and a living room with a kitchenette (with fridge, microwave, coffee maker and various bits of cooking kit). Bed linen is available for an additional charge, but you’ll need to bring towels with you. Outside, there’s space to relax on your private terrace, which has outdoor furniture and is shaded by pine trees. There's a communal barbecue area near the gîtes for those times when you’d like to do a bit of alfresco cooking, and a snack bar is open in the summer months. As this is a town location you’ll also be able to walk to restaurants and shops within about 10 minutes. Leisure facilities on site include a playground, a multisports court, table tennis and a library, and it’s an easy 20-minute walk to the beach when you fancy a dip.

What customers say

This site's lauded for peace, cleanliness, and staff kindness, great for families. Guests enjoy the quiet and no mosquitos. Some units are dated; one reviewer found heat made nights tough. Parking near units can be tricky due to clutter. Beach is a 20-min walk.

Liked C est un très joli camping, le directeur est quelqu'un de très accueillant, le personnel est agréable et les locations sont sympas. La plage est à 20 min à pied vraiment super pour y aller tous les jours.

Disliked Les trottoirs encombrés et c est dommage de pas se garer juste à côté des habitations mais c est n’est pas un gros problème.

Local attractions

It has to be the beach first, right? It’s a 20-minute walk to the beach of Sainte-Marie-la-Mer, a gorgeous three-kilometre stretch with plenty of space for swimming, sunbathing and sandcastle building. Paddleboarding and windsurfing are available for those who need a bit of activity, and there are several beach clubs with loungers, deckchairs, parasols and drinks for those who definitely don’t. You could probably spend most of your holiday right there, really – but if you’d like to explore more of the coast you could head to Le Barcarès (10 minutes’ drive), a buzzy seaside resort with lots of cultural events and markets. There are lots of lovely walks and bike rides along this stretch of coast too, plus salt marshes where you can look out for wildlife. For a bit of history, plan a day in Perpignan (20 minutes), climbing Le Castillet, touring the Palace of the Kings of Majorca and exploring the Hyacinthe Rigaud Art Museum. There are several wineries to visit in the area around the city too.
