With a seafront setting on the Mediterranean, Villa du Grand Bleu unfolds within a private garden where sea air drifts through stunning terraces and the horizon feels endlessly close. Recently reimagined with a refined contemporary aesthetic, the villa balances clean architectural lines with a sense of understated decadence, perfectly located on the French Riviera close to La Ciotat.
Inside, generous living spaces are bathed in natural light, anchored by a panoramic lounge with a fireplace and views across the water. Eleven beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own en suite, offer privacy and comfort for large families or groups, while a lift ensures effortless access throughout the main part of the villa. Two stylish kitchens, a cinema lounge, games area and a dedicated wellness area with gym and sauna invite both relaxation and activity to this upmarket abode.
Days begin with stretching out beside the swimming pool or settling into the rooftop terrace, where the sea provides a constant, calming backdrop. Direct access to the water encourages spontaneous paddleboarding adventures or quiet moments exploring the coastline by kayak. Evenings might unfold over a game of pétanque, followed by drinks in the open-air lounge as the sky softens into dusk.
Babysitting can be arranged each weekday morning (for children aged 3-12) and cleaning is included every two days. Further services to elevate your stay are also available on request for a supplement, from full breakfast and a private chef to a range of curated experiences such as wine-tasting or sunset cruises on the villa's private boat.
Positioned a short drive from the heart of La Ciotat, the villa enjoys an exceptional seafront setting. This stretch of the Côte d’Azur is known for its relaxed charm, with restaurants and amenities within easy reach. La Ciotat’s lively harbour and promenade await, while nearby beaches and the golden sands of Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer invite leisurely afternoons by the sea. Further along the coast, charming Cassis offers access to the dramatic Calanques, where limestone cliffs meet turquoise waters in a landscape shaped for exploration on foot or by boat.
For those gathering with family or friends, Villa du Grand Bleu offers a rare combination of luxurious space, style and a true connection to the Mediterranean.
- There are nine bedrooms in the main part of the villa and two additional bedrooms in an annexe – please see the “Layout” tab for details.
- The owners have informed us that one of the bedrooms has been designed for guests with restricted mobility and there is also a lift. This said, if any guest has restricted mobility, please contact us so we can ensure the house fully meets your requirements.
- It is possible to walk to a couple of local restaurants (seasonal opening) but a car is essential to be able to reach amenities and explore this wonderful region.
