Le Grand Jardin

Le Grand Jardin is situated on the exclusive island of Sainte Marguerite, just off the coast of Cannes. This prestigious estate, once home to royals and nobility including Louis XIV, the Dukes of Guise, and possibly Napoleon, stands as the only private property on the island. The villa’s rich history and secluded location add to its allure and exclusivity.

True to its name, the estate is renowned for its expansive gardens covering 14,000 square meters. Guests can wander through beautifully landscaped walkways lined with cypress, palm, olive, and fruit trees, leading to botanic gardens filled with fragrant roses, geraniums, and irises. An impressive vegetable garden supports fresh, farm-to-table meals prepared by the villa’s chef. The grounds also feature unique sculptures, including an imposing T-rex and a majestic wild horse, blending modern art with natural beauty.

The property boasts two pools: an organically-filtered heated pool surrounded by a paved terrace for outdoor relaxation and dining, and a second pool dedicated to wellness, complete with koi fish and floating water lilies. The villa also offers a private spa with various treatment rooms, a hammam, a sauna, and a fully-equipped gym. The estate includes seven buildings, including a Governor’s House, a turreted fortress, three cottages, a guest house, and a pool house, all meticulously restored with sustainable materials. Inside, guests will find white walls, high ceilings, plush furnishings, and modern artworks. With twelve well-appointed bedrooms across the estate, Le Grand Jardin Villa is ideal for large groups, offering a luxurious and eco-friendly retreat for a memorable holiday.
