A tourism property for sale in Pyrénées-Orientales draws on a department that runs from beach to summit within a day. The sandy Roussillon coast, from Port-Barcarès to Argelès-sur-Mer, hosts seaside holidays; the rocky Côte Vermeille and its Catalan harbours lengthen the season; higher up, Conflent and Vallespir offer hiking, while Cerdagne and Capcir add winter skiing at Font-Romeu, Les Angles or Formiguères. Add the spa towns of Amélie-les-Bains, Vernet and Molitg, the Yellow Train, Vauban's fortresses on the World Heritage list, the sweet wines of Banyuls, Maury and Rivesaltes, and Spanish Catalonia next door.
Properties follow the terrain: Catalan farmhouses (mas) converted for guests, wine estates with holiday lets, resort hotels and village hotel-restaurants, rental complexes around a pool, mountain chalets and residences, campsites and holiday parks on the coastal plain. This page is for investors, for buyers taking over a trading business and for owners planning a sale.

The department is one of the dearest in Occitanie, with a clear pecking order. On the tourist coast a country house sold for a median €361,875 over 2020-2025, well above the tourist inland (€245,250), where most mas and guest estates lie. A tourism property with several units, pools and land is closer to large period homes, whose indicative departmental median is €853,600. Supply leans towards gîte complexes and multi-house estates, while hotels and campsites change hands more quietly.
Catalan hospitality splits into three markets. On the Côte Vermeille, from Collioure to Banyuls-sur-Mer, small boutique hotels rely on loyal guests and high room rates, but buildings are scarce and costly. On the sandy coast, resorts created or transformed by the Racine mission from the sixties onwards, such as Port-Barcarès or Saint-Cyprien, along with Canet-Plage, an older resort that expanded at the same time, concentrate holiday residences, resort complexes and holiday villages, often run by operators under commercial leases. In the mountains, Cerdagne and Capcir hotels work two seasons, and spa-town hotels follow the rhythm of treatments. In hill villages, the inn or hotel-restaurant is often the last business in town. Separate the building from the business before buying. Compare with hotels for sale in France and inns to take over.
Stone mas with two or three houses and a pool are the most common rural format: see gîtes for sale in Pyrénées-Orientales and B&Bs in the 66.
The Roussillon plain around Argelès-sur-Mer has a very high density of campsites and holiday parks, valued on rating, pitch count, operator-owned mobile homes and opening period. They are listed by region: see campsite businesses in Occitanie. At altitude, rental chalets and small residences serve skiers and hikers; Vallespir and Albères woodland suits treehouses and lodges, listed under glamping sites for sale. Wine cellars are often turned into wedding venues: see event venues in the department.
The building goes through a notary; the business (goodwill, name, contracts, equipment) through a separate transfer. A hotel is a public-access building (ERP): ask for the latest fire-safety report and check the 1-to-5-star rating, valid 5 years. The drinks or restaurant licence and operating permit must be transferable, as the town hall will confirm. Furnished lets fall under the Le Meur Act of 19 November 2024, which extends registration nationwide, strengthens the powers of local councils, coastal ones in particular, and raises energy standards: check the rules that apply with the town hall. The Coastal Act limits extensions by the sea, the Mountain Act at altitude. Read the risk report: wildfire in the Albères and Aspres with mandatory brush clearing, flash floods, coastal erosion on the sandy shore and water restrictions in drought.
The Côte Vermeille has the strongest image but few properties; the sandy-coast resorts bring summer volume, Cerdagne and Capcir a two-season calendar, spa towns steadier guests and Perpignan business travellers.
Sunshine lengthens the season, but returns hinge on occupancy outside July and August, rates, water and energy bills and pool upkeep. Review three years of accounts, then try our holiday rental simulator (in French).
Count the building, the business valued on operating profit, purchase costs, compliance works and working capital for the coastal winter.
