Luxury Child Friendly Resort France
UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT FOR 2022. Introducing our tranquil, safe family friendly micro-resort in the South of France. Just 6 fully self-contained apartments and specialising in families with babies, toddlers & kids up to 10. We offer lovely warm and perfectly-sanitised pools and many more facilities to keep the little ones entertained. A family gîte complex that offers a calm alternative to all those faceless hotels!
We have just returned from an amazing week here with our 10 month old and 3 year old. The place is beautiful, in the middle of the French mountains but... read more 6 mins from a supermarket & 10 mins from a lovely beach. If you can drag the kids away from the toy room, which has literally every toy/activity you could wish for, the swimming pools were lovely and warm & the children loved using the poolside toys. The apartment has everything you need with young kids, toilet step/seats, sides for the beds etc.
We really enjoyed the bbq, pizza & paella night and the continental breakfast was a great addition. The hosts Elodie & Guillaume were honestly brilliant. They were always around if you needed support but never over bearing, and when our 10 month old needed a Dr due to an ear infection, Guillaume even went with my husband to the Dr to translate & then the pharmacy to get the antibiotics. They went above & beyond & we are exceptionally grateful! We don’t usually return to the same places on holiday but are already looking at booking again & bringing the extended family. A brilliant family holiday - cannot recommend highly enough! More
We spent a great fortnight in 'Aigrette' with our 1 year old and 3 year old, flying in to Perpignan from Stansted. Having booked before the change of ownership, we... read more wondered whether it would still live up to previous reviews; needlessly, as Guillaume and Élodie are kind and helpful hosts who already have everything under control. 'Aigrette' has a cool and airy living area with a high ceiling, sliding doors, and a balcony. With 3 air conditioned bedrooms it was perfect for our little light sleepers who, despite their best midnight efforts, didn't manage to wake each other up. Stair gates prevented the mezzanine becoming a problem. The appartment was also self-contained enough that we didn't feel like their exuberance was disturbing other guests in the early hours. The kitchen was sufficiently well equipped that we were able to cater for awkward dietary restrictions by mostly cooking for ourselves (although for those without inconvenient allergies the communal meals, particularly the paella, are delicious). With the well-stocked play areas, fellow junior guests, and the swimming pools, there is enough to occupy very young children without leaving Imagine Roussillon, but it is also a good base for exploring the region. With a hire car we were easily able to visit Carcassonne, Collioure, Les Gorges Du Gouleyrous, and Villefranche-de-Conflent with its Grottes des Canalettes. The beaches nearby are also good for a morning's entertainment before the sun is at its zenith, but there...

Thank you, Guillaume and Élodie, for a relaxing stay, and for the consideration that makes great hosts. More
Wonderful family holiday in Canet en Roussillon. The new owners were very attentive and kind. Lots to do and a relaxing holiday even with a toddler! The daily breakfast was... read more a great addition as well as the pools and kids play area.
We have just arrived home after visiting Imagine Roussillon and couldn’t have chosen a better place for a relaxed family holiday in beautiful surroundings.
The journey from Perpignan airport... read more was straightforward and only 20 minutes.
The new owners are very friendly and helpful, they are a warm and kind couple who want families to come and have a great time. The paella and BBQ food cooking by Guillaume and Elodie were delicious and a highlight of our stay. We also enjoyed the swimming pools and playroom and my husband made good use of the gym.
It’s a nice peaceful environment where families can relax. The area is beautiful, very green and with a view of the Pyrenees mountains. With a car there is much to do within a 30 minute drive: beaches, marinas, restaurants and a aquarium. My 4 year old son said the best part of his holiday was the owners girls and zip wire.
Thank you Guillaume and Elodie
We hope to return again! More
A lovely little secluded resort. We have just returned from a week's stay with an 8 and 5 year old. Phil is very welcoming and accommodating. Nothing is too much... read more trouble. Emma ran a fantastic kids club every morning with well thought through activities that could engage all ages at the same time. She also ran fantastic personal fitness classes and gave a lovely relaxing free massage. The bar area was very welcoming. We stayed in Aigrette apartment which had air conditioning in the bedrooms that was very welcome. The main area of the apartment stayed cool enough as it has a high ceiling. It was nice for the children to have other children around them to play with if they wanted. It was well organised and very friendly. We could easily have stayed longer and hope to return. We miss it already! More
We visited Phil and Emma’s little haven in July. The location is absolutely perfect. On the edge of a vineyard, 10 mins drive from the beach and less to every... read more conceivable amenity (including Michael’s lovely pizza van 2 mins away)! The bespoke family facility has been thought through immaculately. The accommodation is generous, clean and filled with things to entertain the kids with. On arrival the fridge was stocked with essentials (including beer!) and the ready meals were tasty and good quality. The pools were amazing; we couldn’t tear the kids away without a fight - same goes for the playpark which was just perfect for our older boys (aged 5 and 3). Kids club was gentle and relaxed. It was nice to be able to sit in the bar area and be nearby if the kids needed us. Phil and Emma go so far out of their way to be helpful; never overbearing, always genuine and thoughtful. This is a gentile resort for those who don’t want the hustle bustle of crowded pools and nights of live entertainment. Go prepared for that and you will love it!
For parents, we have our coffee bar, free wifi, massage studio, small-group fitness classes and much more – an ideal blend designed to offer you the quality family self-catering experience you’ve been searching for. For 2021 we are on the ball regarding covid 19 and have adapted our facilities and services to keep you safe.
