Up on the heights of Port-Vendres, the day begins with the Mediterranean stretched out ahead of you and ends with the soft hush of the coast below. On the 2nd floor, this 80.20 m² three-bedroom apartment opens onto 24.30 m² of outdoor space—an easy, elegant extension of daily life with a sea view. Inside, the 29.50 m² living room with open kitchen sets a welcoming tone, while three well-proportioned bedrooms and two shower rooms make it effortless for family and friends. A calm, north-facing orientation keeps the atmosphere pleasantly balanced, even in the height of summer.

Morning light, salty air, and a sea view that becomes part of your routine
On the Cô te Vermeille, the landscape is never still. Fishing boats drift in and out of the harbour, the cliffs change colour as the day unfolds, and the Mediterranean holds the horizon with quiet confidence. Set on the heights of Port-Vendres, this apartment captures that feeling beautifully: a sense of distance and calm, while the town&rsquo s café s, quays and everyday conveniences remain close enough to keep life easy.
Located on the 2nd floor and oriented north, the home offers 80.20 m² of thoughtfully arranged interior space, complemented by a generous 24.30 m² of outdoor living. The standout feature is simple and timeless: a sea view that frames your days, from quiet breakfasts to unhurried evenings.
A home designed for real life&mdash fluid, bright, and beautifully practical
Step inside and the layout immediately feels composed. A central hallway (5.00 m² ) creates a natural flow, connecting the social heart of the apartment to the more private sleeping quarters&mdash ideal when the household is full, or when guests come to stay.
The heart of the home
The main living space is a generous 29.50 m² living room with open kitchen, designed for togetherness without feeling crowded. It&Rsquo S the kind of room that adapts effortlessly: morning coffee with the shutters opened to the day, a long lunch that drifts into the afternoon, or a simple dinner shared after a swim in a nearby cove.
Large openings fitted with roller shutters bring in natural light while allowing you to fine-tune shade and privacy. The overall impression is modern and clean-lined&mdash an inviting blank canvas that makes it easy to imagine your own style, whether coastal-minimal or warm and textured.
Three bedrooms, each with its own rhythm
With three bedrooms, the apartment feels ready for every version of Mediterranean life&mdash family holidays, year-round living, or a flexible mix of work and leisure. Each bedroom includes built-in storage (Pl), keeping the spaces calm and uncluttered.

Bedroom 1: 11.20 m² with built-in closet
Bedroom 2: 10.80 m² with built-in closet
Bedroom 3: 11.90 m² with built-in closet

Whether you picture a serene primary room, a children&rsquo s space, or an office that lets you work with the coast just outside, the proportions are comfortably balanced.
Comfort for families and guests: two shower rooms plus a separate WC
Everyday life runs smoother when the practical details are handled&mdash and here they are. Two shower rooms create genuine flexibility:

Shower room 1 (Sde-1): 5.00 m²
Shower room 2 (Sde-2): 3.30 m²

A separate Wc with storage (Wc + Pl: 3.50 m² ) adds another layer of convenience, especially when you have friends staying for the weekend or family visiting through the summer.
Outdoor living, elevated&mdash 24.30 m² to slow down and look outward
On this coast, the outdoors is not an occasional pleasure&mdash it&rsquo s the way you live. The apartment&rsquo s terrace and balcony total 24.30 m² , giving you room to create distinct moments: a reading corner, a dining table, a few pots of herbs, or simply space to stretch out and take in the view.
From the residence concept, outdoor areas are designed to feel like true extensions of the interior&mdash sheltered and comfortable, with a sense of privacy encouraged by separating walls between neighbouring spaces. It&Rsquo S easy to imagine lingering here with a late lunch, then watching the light soften over the water as sails pass along the horizon.
A practical touch for daily life: the outdoor space includes a water point (robinet de puisage), useful for tending plants or rinsing off after a beach day.
A contemporary residence that respects its Mediterranean setting
The building is conceived to sit naturally within the landscape, with architecture that prioritises openings toward the sea. Materials and tones are chosen to blend with the surroundings, while the overall design remains clean and contemporary&mdash an elegant backdrop to the coastline&rsquo s drama.
Shared features described for the residence include:

Lift access
Secure access for pedestrians and vehicles
Bike and pushchair storage
Garages/parking solutions within the residence offering (availability depends on the lot)

Everyday reassurance in the details

The apartment also includes a thermodynamic domestic hot water tank (Ecs), supporting efficient day-to-day living.
Port-Vendres: authentic harbour life, with the Cô te Vermeille at your doorstep
Port-Vendres is a place with real rhythm. Still a working fishing and commercial port as well as a marina, it feels lively and genuine throughout the year. Along the quays, the scene changes daily&mdash boats returning, terraces filling, locals meeting for a coffee, the air carrying that unmistakable Mediterranean mix of salt and sun.
The town combines a friendly, small-port atmosphere with the essential services that make year-round living straightforward. From the residence, key amenities are close by (times indicated in the brochure):

Effortless connections, all year long
Port-Vendres sits on the Mediterranean axis linking southern France to Spain, making travel refreshingly simple. The brochure notes approximate driving times of 8 minutes to Collioure, 30 minutes to Perpignan, and 35 minutes to the Spanish border (Le Perthus). Whether you&rsquo re coming for long weekends, extended summers, or a permanent move to the coast, the location supports a life that feels both open and connected.

Above all, it offers that rare, quietly powerful luxury: space to breathe, space to gather, and a horizon that never stops calling you back.
