MAS CANERS, THE CATALAN SOUL
Nestled in the heart of unspoiled nature, at 750 meters on the southern slope of the Canigó massif, the sacred mountain of the Catalans that juts out towards the Mediterranean, Mas Caners welcomes you to a remarkable setting where landscapes, history, and Catalan culture blend harmoniously. This peaceful sanctuary, a true escape and a rejuvenating retreat, is ideal for disconnecting and relaxing far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
ECO-CHIC COTTAGES
In a former Catalan farmhouse, the two cottages of Mas Caners, recently and carefully eco-renovated and certified 4 stars, harmoniously combine authenticity and relaxed luxury. Every detail has been carefully considered to preserve the authentic charm of the old building while offering a modern and comfortable experience within an eco-friendly environment.
The two independent cottages, each with its own private terrace, offer intimacy and serenity in a cozy atmosphere deeply connected to nature: here, you'll feel right at home. Enjoy your cottage, its private terrace, the Mediterranean garden, and the 30-hectare protected natural estate.
Le Petit Caners, with its nomadic spirit, is the smaller of the two cottages: a former sheepfold with chic, bohemian décor, designed for a relaxing and laid-back atmosphere.
NATURE SPA
With breathtaking views of the Tech Valley and the Mediterranean Sea, the natural swimming pond, fed by the Mas's historic spring, the wood-fired Nordic bath, and the panoramic sauna offer an idyllic setting for unwinding in deep connection with nature.
The swimming pond is shared by both cottages, freely accessible, and open year-round. The Nordic bath and sauna are available by prior reservation (additional charge: €15 for a minimum of 2 people for 1 hour for the Nordic bath OR sauna, €20 for a minimum of 2 people for 1 hour for both the Nordic bath AND sauna. Bathrobes and spa towels are included) and are reserved exclusively for your use once booked.
Enhance your stay with personalized wellness experiences (additional charge): in-room massage, purification ritual, forest bathing, or a Qi Gong session.

OUR ENVIRONMENTAL APPROACH IN 10 PARTS
1. Renovation of old buildings: Use of sustainable and local materials: stones reclaimed on site, certified bio-sourced wood.
2. Building insulation: Roof and wall insulation to complement the internal inertia provided by the old stonework. Double-glazed windows with thermal breaks on all openings.
3. Low-footprint heating: Pellet stoves in the main rooms, low-temperature radiators on air-to-water heat pumps for the Grand Caners building, and gentle heat radiators for the Petit Caners building.
4. Low-consumption electrical equipment: Energy-efficient household appliances, a wood-heated hot tub with a hybrid electric system, LED lighting, and outdoor motion detectors.
5. Preservation of water resources: Capture of the Mas's historic spring, optimized for drinking water treatment via a carbon filter and UV lamp, flow limiters on mixer taps and shower heads, a dual-flow mechanism in the toilets, and a drip irrigation system for optimal use.
6. Wastewater treatment using phyto-purification: natural filtration in plant ponds before reintroduction into nature, a self-contained system with no added energy.
7. Biological swimming pond: pure water biologically treated without chemicals, a self-sustaining ecosystem that preserves the environment.
8. Eco-friendly interior design: recycled teak wood furniture, natural fiber lighting, high-end and eco-friendly bedding, 75% recycled materials, linens made from natural fibers (bamboo, wood pulp).
9. Environmentally friendly practices: waste sorting, eco-labeled welcome and cleaning products, and raising guest awareness about ecology during their stay.
10. Initiatives promoting biodiversity: no phytosanitary products in green spaces, planting of 200 native and non-invasive species to attract pollinators, the pond, a reservoir of biodiversity, already visited by salamanders.
