Welcome to your hidden paradise in the heart of the French Riviera

Voyage to the French Riviera with your family and closest friends, for a private retreat, special event, or film production? Discover Le Grand Jardin with Casol, Sainte-Marguerite island’s only private estate, an exclusive sanctuary just a 10-minute boat ride from the glamour of Cannes. Arranged across 14,000 m² (150,000 sq.ft) of botanical gardens, the property offers a haven of serenity and discretion, where heritage, nature, and understated luxury intertwine seamlessly.

Step ashore to a 13th-century walled estate, the island’s sole private residence, and immerse yourself in its tranquil gardens. Wander among fragrant citrus groves, explore koi ponds and natural water features, and pause to enjoy sweeping sea views — every corner designed to awaken the senses and invite quiet reflection.

For those who seek exploration, Sainte-Marguerite island’s 2 km² of unspoiled landscapes beckon. Discover parasol pine forests, secluded beaches, and the historic Fort Royal, while the nearby Île Saint-Honorat offers further moments of seclusion along the scenic Lérins archipelago. Here, the Riviera unfolds at your pace, a private world just moments from Cannes’ vibrant energy.

Recently reimagined in 2022, Le Grand Jardin is an era-defining, eco-conscious estate rooted in the Riviera’s rich heritage. With no neighbors in sight, each moment — whether stargazing in silence, relaxing by the pool, or gathering with friends and family — is experienced in complete privacy, enveloped in your own Mediterranean haven.

Steeped in history, Sainte-Marguerite has long drawn the world’s elite. Past owners include Louis XIV and the Dukes of Guise; the legendary Man in the Iron Mask was once held in the island’s fortress, and legend holds that Napoleon grazed his horses here. At Le Grand Jardin, this storied past becomes part of your own discovery, waiting to be explored at leisure.
