Villa Layon | 5 BRs

Sculpted into an expansive private estate of pine and parasol palms, Villa Layon redefines Riviera seclusion. This sanctuary balances Côte d’Azur glamour with the feeling of an off-grid hideout, yet Pampelonne’s legendary sand and the cafés of Ramatuelle are both a leisurely stroll away.

Inside, a flowing layout parts into discreet zones, allowing each guest to claim a preferred slice of serenity. Silk-draped lounges encourage lingering conversation, while the dedicated home cinema transforms balmy evenings into film-festival nights. Five double suites (plus flexible guest rooms) are appointed with cool stone, artisanal linens, and floor-to-ceiling views that dissolve the boundary between villa and garden.

Days begin in the fully equipped gym, slide toward the hammam for a purifying steam, then linger in the jacuzzi. The turquoise pool anchors the estate, a glittering axis around which sun loungers, daybeds, and shaded patios are perfectly positioned. When appetite calls, a half-board chef plates Provençal classics, think herb-roasted sea bass and orchard-fresh stone-fruit tarts, served on a candlelit terrace perfumed by wild rosemary.

Lawns unfurl toward pockets of Mediterranean scrub, inviting impromptu pétanque matches or morning yoga sessions. Children find adventure paths among umbrella pines; adults retreat with rosé to the pergola as sea breezes drift inland.

Round-the-clock ease is woven into the experience. Two housekeepers maintain an impeccable rhythm, and a night security guard ensures undisturbed rest.

From this private villa in Ramatuelle, file down a coastal track to Pampelonne’s crystal water, or cruise six minutes to the cobbled lanes of St-Tropez for market mornings at Place des Lices. Return to Villa Layon for sunset cocktails as cicadas tune up and the estate’s uplighting casts palms in golden silhouette.
