Banyuls enjoys an exceptionally sheltered position. It lies at the southern end of the Cote Vermeille in the foothills of the Pyrenees and has a pretty yachting marina. The town has developed without spoiling its charm, and is set against a stunning backdrop of vineyards and olive groves, around the wide bay and seafront with its cluster of bars, cafes and restaurants, discretely dotted between the ubiquitous palm trees. It is not just a popular holiday destination but also a real working community. The surrounding hills are a paradise for walkers.The coastline offers clear blue sparkling waters and sheltered rocky coves, perfect for sunbathing swimming and snorkelling . Diving and sailing centres abound giving those that wish, the opportunity to explore the marine life of the clear warm waters. Banyuls is famous for its wine and a festival is held each year in October, culminating in an enormous feast on the beach. There are several well known wine domaines to visit plus the home of the celebrated artist Maillol which is now a museum.The picturesque town of Collioure, famous for its art is only a short drive, bus or train ride. Barcelona and Andorra are within easy reach and the nearest ski resort is only 2 hours drive away.
