Banyuls at its own pace

Nowadays, the real luxury of a vacation is to take your time!

Disconnecting, slowing down, living without schedules or constraints, cultivating idleness to make the most of it.

On the Mediterranean coast, Banyuls-sur-Mer is a privileged place for slow tourism. The perfect combination of a wonderful playground for lovers of wide open spaces and a state of mind respectful of an exceptional and preserved natural environment.
