Private PoolPrivate ChefSea ViewBBQBeach Nearby

Villa Paradis is a four-bedroom Mediterranean villa set within a private estate in Beauvallon, Sainte-Maxime, a short stroll from the sandy shore of Plage de Guerrevielle and fourteen kilometres from Saint-Tropez. The villa sits within landscaped gardens of olive trees, flowering beds and flat lawns, with sea views from most of the four en suite bedrooms and from the main terrace. At the centre of the gardens, a heated 10m x 4.5m pool is flanked by a covered pool house, and a pétanque court provides an authentically Provençal counterpoint to the polished interiors. Inside, the open-plan ground floor brings together a lounge, a tapas-style dining area and a semi-professional kitchen, all opening directly onto a large shaded terrace. The villa was styled by an interior designer with a brief that balances understated elegance with practical family comfort, and the result is a property that feels genuinely lived-in rather than staged. Maid service five days per week is included, and a cook service is available on request, making it suitable for groups who want kitchen flexibility without committing to a full catering arrangement. Marketed through CV Villas, Villa Paradis sleeps up to eight across four king-size bedrooms arranged across three levels, with the lower ground floor offering additional separation for guests who prefer independent access. It is particularly well suited to families or two couples combining the pull of Saint-Tropez with a quieter residential base in Beauvallon.

Best time to visit

summer
24-32°Cjun · jul · aug
peak crowdpremium value

The Bay of Saint-Tropez reaches its best in July and August, when sea temperatures peak, the pool heating is optional rather than essential, and the full social and dining offer of the Riviera is operating at capacity.

Summer is the prime season here: the Bay of Saint-Tropez is at its warmest from late June through August, sea temperatures peak in July and August, and the full social energy of the Riviera is within easy reach. June and September offer a genuine alternative: the sea is still warm, the crowds are lighter and Saint-Tropez is navigable without the peak-season traffic. The villa is available year-round but outside the summer season most neighbouring facilities reduce their hours.

winter

dec · jan · feb

Mild and often sunny by northern European standards, with cool evenings and occasional rain. The Mistral wind can bring sharp cold spells, particularly in January.

8-14°C

low crowdexcellent value

Winter availability is generally very good and rates are at their lowest. Verify that the villa's pool heating is included and that local restaurants along the beach are operating, as some seasonal businesses close from October through March.

spring

mar · apr · may

Warming steadily from March through May, with reliable sunshine from April and increasingly comfortable temperatures by late May. Sea temperatures remain cool for swimming until late May.

13-22°C

moderate crowdgood value

Spring is an increasingly popular shoulder season on the Riviera. May in particular can be busy around the Cannes Film Festival and Monaco Grand Prix, and accommodation nearby fills quickly during those weeks.

summer

Recommended

jun · jul · aug

Hot, dry and consistently sunny, with temperatures regularly exceeding 30°C in July and August. Sea temperatures peak in August at around 25°C, making beach time genuinely warm.

24-32°C

peak crowdpremium value

July and August require booking well in advance, typically six to twelve months ahead for the best weeks. Traffic around Saint-Tropez on the D559 can be severe in August: the passenger ferry from Sainte-Maxime port is strongly recommended for any visits to Saint-Tropez during peak weeks.

autumn

sep · oct · nov

September remains warm and genuinely summery, with sea temperatures still above 22°C. October cools noticeably and November can be wet, with the first Mistral storms arriving.

13-25°C

low crowdgood value

September is one of the best-value months on the Riviera, with sea temperatures still high, significantly reduced crowds and good availability. October and November are quieter still, though some beachside restaurants and facilities will have closed for the season by mid-October.

Why we chose it

The pétanque court is the detail that earns its place here: not a gesture, but a proper court shaded by mature planting, which tells you something about the seriousness with which the outdoor space has been considered. Unlike many Riviera villas marketed as family-friendly but designed for Instagram, Villa Paradis was styled with a genuine brief to balance elegance with lived-in comfort, and the semi-professional kitchen backs that up for guests who want to cook seriously. It is also one of the few properties in the Beauvallon area that sits within a private estate, with a sandy beach under a ten-minute walk and Saint-Tropez close enough for an evening out but far enough not to impose.

01The Architecture

Villa Paradis occupies a plot within a private estate in Beauvallon, a residential area of Sainte-Maxime that sits between the bay and the golf club. The building follows the classic Côte d'Azur villa model: rendered exteriors softened by mature Mediterranean planting, with terraces and garden spaces arranged around the pool at its centre. Accommodation spans three levels, with the lower…

02The Interior

The interiors were designed by an interior designer with a clear brief: understated elegance that functions equally well as a family home and a social space for eight. The open-plan ground floor brings together a generous lounge, a tapas-style dining area and a well-equipped kitchen in one connected volume, with light entering from multiple aspects and terrace doors creating a…

03The Outdoor

The gardens at Villa Paradis are planted with olive trees, flowering beds and flat lawns, creating a setting that feels more like a private garden than a rental property. The heated pool measures 10m x 4.5m and is fitted with built-in steps, a pool alarm and included pool heating, with a covered pool house alongside providing shade during the hottest…

04The Location

Villa Paradis sits in Beauvallon, a calm residential quarter on the western edge of Sainte-Maxime that occupies the northern shore of the Bay of Saint-Tropez. Plage de Guerrevielle is 700 metres on foot, a sandy beach accessible without crossing a main road from this side of the estate. Restaurant Gipsy Plage is at a similar distance, providing a beachside dining…

05Ideal For

Villa Paradis works best for a family of up to eight, or two couples travelling together with children, who want a private base on the Riviera with Saint-Tropez on the doorstep but not on the doorstep every day. The bedroom layout across three levels gives the lower ground floor genuine independence, which suits multigenerational groups. The included maid service and…

dining

La Vague d'Or, Résidence de la Pinède

Saint-Tropez's only three-Michelin-star restaurant, helmed by Arnaud Donckele, is a short drive across the bay and represents the finest cooking on this stretch of the Riviera. Reserve months in advance for summer dates.

Ferry crossing to Saint-Tropez from Sainte-Maxime

The passenger ferry from Sainte-Maxime port to Saint-Tropez takes around fifteen minutes and sidesteps the notorious summer road traffic entirely. It runs frequently through the summer season and drops you directly into the old port.

5 minutes by car to the port

activities

Beauvallon Golf Club

One of the oldest golf courses on the Côte d'Azur, the Beauvallon Golf Club is a fifteen-minute walk from the villa and sits on a hillside above the bay with views across to Saint-Tropez. Book a morning tee time to avoid the midday heat.

The nearest commercial airport is Nice Côte d'Azur (approximately one hour by road), which serves scheduled routes from across Europe and the UK.
