Les Jardins du Cèdre, Boutique hôtel & gastronomie

Perched high above Port-Vendres, Les Jardins du Cèdre—a boutique hotel with a culinary soul—invites you into a lush green retreat, where a heated pool awaits from mid-April to mid-October. From this elevated perch, the bay unfolds before you, painting a sweeping panorama of deep Mediterranean blues that stretch to the horizon. A leisurely ten-minute stroll takes you down to the town’s winding lanes, lively boutiques, and the authentic harbor that ranks among the Vermeille coast’s true gems.

Every room here is thoughtfully outfitted, offering climate control, a flat-screen TV, and a sleek private bath stocked with complimentary toiletries. Select accommodations treat you to sweeping sea vistas, while seamless WiFi reaches every corner of the property. You’ll also enjoy the convenience of a private parking spot reserved just for your stay.

Dining at our restaurant is an experience to linger over—whether you choose to sit indoors or beneath the sweeping branches of the ancient cedar that names our house. The chef crafts a creative, heartfelt menu that showcases the region’s finest ingredients, paired with a curated list of mostly organic and Catalan wines. Given the intimate number of tables, we recommend securing your reservation well in advance.

Breakfast here feels like a celebration. Our buffet tempts you with flaky pastries, jams made fresh by our own pastry chef, crusty bread delivered from the village baker, and savory Catalan specialties to start your day right.

For rejuvenation, our massage studio offers a menu of treatments designed to melt away tension—booking ahead is wise to snag your preferred slot. Active guests can also make use of our compact fitness space.

Those combining business with pleasure will find a fully outfitted seminar room, ideal for group gatherings, meetings, or conferences.

Venture beyond the hotel, and the coastline calls with endless possibilities. Follow the scenic coastal trail from Argelès through Collioure, Port-Vendres, and Banyuls, all the way to Cerbère, for a dazzling journey along the vermilion shores. Water enthusiasts can dive into scuba or feel the rush of jet-skiing. Perpignan-Rivesaltes Airport lies 40 km away, the Spanish town of Roses is 50 km off, and Barcelona awaits roughly 2 hours and 15 minutes by car.
