About Canet-en-Roussillon

Close to Perpignan, Canet-en-Roussillon is a popular coastal town with a large port and almost nine kilometres of fine sandy beaches. Easily accessible as a day trip destination from the city, it’s particularly busy on weekends and during the summer months, when visitors from France and further afield flock to the seaside. Accommodation options range from simple, self-catering spots to chic seaside hotels, fit for a whole host of tastes and budgets. A gorgeous ocean-facing boutique base, our pick of the best places to stay in Canet-en-Roussillon is brilliant for romantic couples looking to kick back in style.

Most of the action is clustered around the beaches and the port, where you’ll find lively cafés and restaurants, as well as shops selling souvenirs. Pick a perch on a sun-drenched terrace to people-watch with your ice cream, or sunbathe, swim and build sandcastles with the little ones. Boat trips are easy to arrange, as are kayaking, wind surfing, kitesurfing and stand-up paddle board excursions.

Culture-minded explorers will be fascinated by the Village de Pêcheurs — now an outdoor museum — as well as the remnants of the medieval castle and the 19th-century Château de l’Esparrou. The Saint-James Church is another lovely local landmark. Head back to one of the best places to stay in Canet-en-Roussillon for relaxed afternoons in the pool, soothing spa treatments and terrific seafood dinners within sight of the ocean.
