Le Grand Jardin

Cannes - Villa

Le Grand Jardin is an exceptional private property located on Sainte-Marguerite island, facing Cannes, in the heart of the Lérins islands. Accessible by boat from Cannes port, this historic estate offers an experience that few properties on the French Riviera can provide: staying on a preserved Mediterranean island whilst remaining just a few minutes from the Croisette. Entirely privatised for its guests, Le Grand Jardin is an exceptional address for a luxury villa rental in Cannes, a multigenerational stay, a private celebration or an exclusive event on the French Riviera.

Behind its history-laden walls lies an estate of approximately 1.4 hectares, comprising Mediterranean and botanical gardens, olive trees, citrus fruits, pools and spaces conducive to contemplation. The estate benefits from remarkable privacy, in an environment where nature holds a central place. Its history dates back several centuries and the property documents notably evoke Sainte-Marguerite's links with Louis XIV and the legend of the Man in the Iron Mask.

The 12 bedrooms are distributed between several independent buildings, allowing a large group to stay together whilst preserving each person's privacy. The property notably includes the Governor's House, a Guest House, three cottages, three suites located near the swimming pool as well as a suite arranged in the former tower. This organisation into different residential spaces gives Le Grand Jardin the atmosphere of a true private hamlet rather than that of a traditional villa.

The rooms and suites display a contemporary and refined aesthetic, combining stone, marble, wood and natural tones. Some enjoy views of the Mediterranean whilst others open onto the gardens. The Governor's House also features beautiful reception spaces, including a 52 m² lounge, a 34 m² dining room and a 53 m² Master Bedroom.

The whole has been designed to allow a family, multiple generations or a group of friends to live together whilst maintaining genuine private spaces.

At the heart of the estate, the outdoor swimming pool becomes one of the main living areas. The Grand Jardin also has a complete wellness space with spa, hammam, sauna, fitness room and treatment rooms, allowing massages and treatments to be organised directly on site. The botanical garden, the Koi carp pond, the chef's vegetable garden as well as the wine and cigar cellars contribute to this particularly comprehensive experience. A private heliport completes the estate's infrastructure.

Gastronomy holds a central place in the Grand Jardin experience. Products grown in the gardens and vegetable garden can accompany entirely personalised cuisine, served both indoors and around large tables set in the gardens.

The property operates with a complete team including House Manager, chefs, butlers, housekeeping staff and drivers. Breakfast, three-course lunch and three-course dinner are part of the services offered, with menus adapted to the guests' preferences.

The experience begins even before crossing the property's doors. Transfers can be arranged from the airport to Cannes, before joining Sainte-Marguerite by private boat. During the stay, boat transfers between the island and Cannes are provided for guests on the time slots defined by the property. This proximity allows you to dine in Cannes, reach the Croisette or attend an international event, then return within minutes to the absolute calm of your private island.

The Mediterranean naturally forms part of the stay. The sea is just a few metres from the estate and the Sainte-Marguerite paths allow you to explore the island on foot, whilst paddleboards and water activities invite you to discover its coastline from the water.

The absence of tourist hustle and bustle in the early hours of the day also offers a rare privilege: enjoying the island and its paths in a particularly peaceful atmosphere before the arrival of visitors.
The Grand Jardin also lends itself to organising significant private moments, from birthdays to family celebrations and weddings, subject to the property's own conditions. Dinners in the gardens, poolside evenings or bespoke cinema experiences can be imagined. The service indeed includes private cinema experiences with popcorn bar and confectionery.

Staying at the Grand Jardin in Cannes ultimately does not simply consist of renting a villa. It is privatising a historic estate on the Sainte-Marguerite island, having 12 bedrooms, your own house staff, a spa, a swimming pool, a heliport and dedicated maritime logistics, whilst keeping Cannes and the Croisette within boat's reach. An extremely confidential island experience, designed for clientele seeking both intimacy, service and privileged access to the Côte d'Azur.
