Dog-Friendly & Pet-Friendly Hotels in Pyrenees-Orientales

For a distinct blend of French and Catalan culture with dramatic landscapes, head to the Pyrenees-Orientales. This is where the Pyrenees mountains meet the Mediterranean, creating a coastline of wide sandy beaches like Canet-en-Roussillon and dramatic cliffs near Collioure. Inland, you can hike through the gorges of the Têt River, explore the fortified city of Villefranche-de-Conflent, or taste sweet Muscat wine in the terraced vineyards around Banyuls-sur-Mer. The regional capital, Perpignan, pulses with a southern energy, its historic center anchored by the Palace of the Kings of Majorca.

The area suits active couples, hiking families, and culture seekers. For a beach holiday, base yourself in Saint-Cyprien or Argelès-sur-Mer. To explore the mountains and historic sites, consider Prades or Vernet-les-Bains. Perpignan is the main transport hub, with a well-connected train station and an airport serving several European cities, making it a practical starting point for exploring the entire department.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find around nine hotels available here, ranging from simple seaside lodgings in coastal towns to charming family-run hotels in the mountain villages. A few modern city hotels in Perpignan cater to business travelers, but the selection is dominated by characterful, mid-range accommodations perfect for a relaxed regional escape.
