Le Barcarès, Occitanie, France
Opportunities to own a property directly on the beach in France are rare, and La Vida Lydia is one of them. Positioned between the Mediterranean Sea and the Étang de Salses lagoon, the residence is a kitesurfers’ paradise, offering two distinct spots to surf just minutes apart. Just a short walk away are the iconic Lydia ship, a restored liner turned cultural venue and Les Jardins du Lydia du Barcarès, home to the region’s famous Christmas market.
A blend of comfort and convenience, with all the benefits of a beachfront lifestyle, Lydia is designed for both holiday escapes and year-round enjoyment.
Le Barcarès offers the perfect balance of everyday convenience and holiday living. From supermarkets, shops, and weekly markets to healthcare and schools, everything you need is close at hand. Direct TGV and Intercités services link Le Barcarès with Paris, Lyon, Toulouse, Montpellier, and Barcelona, making it quick and easy to reach from France’s major cities and Spain.
Offering the ultimate outdoor lifestyle, residents can enjoy 8 km of Blue Flag beaches, a lively marina with 1,500 moorings, and a planned new harbour for larger yachts. The town is also one of Europe’s top water sports hubs, with excellent kitesurfing, windsurfing, paddleboarding, sailing, and more.
When it comes to culture, the iconic Lydia ship hosts concerts and exhibitions, while the Electrobeach Festival and the famous Christmas Market bring in crowds from across France and beyond. Add to this the region’s wine estates, gourmet festivals, and miles of hiking and cycling trails through pine forests and vineyards, and you’ll find a destination where the Mediterranean lifestyle shines all year round.


This exciting new development brings 81 contemporary apartments to the heart of Le Barcarès, just steps from the beach and the iconic Lydia ship. Ranging from studios to three-bedroom homes, nearly all the apartments include balconies, open views of the sea, pool, or landscaped gardens, plus a private parking space. Kitchens are included in the displayed prices, offering buyers convenience from day one.
The communal areas are stylish and secure, with lacquered steel entrance doors, decorative tiled floors, motion-sensor lighting, and modern 8-person lifts. Residents will also benefit from a large outdoor swimming pool, Mediterranean-style gardens and bicycle storage within the building.
With rising property values and limited beachfront availability, Lydia offers investors both lifestyle appeal and capital growth potential. At around €6,000 per sqm, these seafront apartments in Le Barcarès are priced well below nearby hotspots like Collioure or Canet, where similar properties can reach €8,000–€10,000 per sqm, making La Vida Lydia one of the most competitively priced beachfront opportunities on the Mediterranean.

“Owning an apartment at La Vida Lydia means beachfront living with stunning sea views, direct access to world-class water sports, and a vibrant cultural scene—all at an unbeatable price in one of southern France’s most dynamic resorts.”
