For a kitesurfer, Leucate needs no introduction: Europe's second largest spot, wind blowing from April to October, and the Mondial du Vent held there every spring. The long, windy beaches of Leucate and La Franqui are 15 minutes from Villa Container Fitou.
A base for a group of riders
The villa is made for travelling in a group: four bedrooms, sleeping eight, 130 sqm on one level, a large living space with a fitted kitchen for post-session meals, and a raised wooden terrace to relive the day at sunset. Two families, a group of friends or a crew in town for the Mondial du Vent all fit in without getting in each other's way.
Warming up after the session
This is the detail that changes everything early and late in the season: the pool is heated all year round. You come back from an April or October session and end the day in water at the right temperature, facing the sea. The sliding terrace covers the pool the rest of the time.
For beginners, the lake and the lagoon
Beginners and calmer days have their own playground: the Fitou lake and the La Palme lagoon, a sheltered stretch of water less than 10 minutes away, where you can learn to kitesurf and practise paddleboarding and windsurfing. The sailing schools and water sports bases of Leucate and Port-Barcares complete the offer, jet ski included.
Practical
Perpignan airport is 25 minutes away, Barcelona 2 hours. The villa is booked direct, with no commission, from 360 € per night depending on the month, with a 2-night minimum stay outside summer. Payment secured by Stripe, 30 % deposit, no security deposit held.
