Modernist French Riviera Villa With Panoramic Views of the Îles d'Or

This property is on the market with L'Exploreur. Pricing is disclosed upon application with the listing agency.

Down a private road winding through the stunning Giens Peninsula lies Villa Éole, a modernist marvel crafted by acclaimed Hyères architect Lucien David in 1962.

Tucked away from mistral winds and shielded from prying eyes, this cliffside retreat combines flat roofs, open terraces, and sweeping windows, flooding the home with natural light and blurring the line between indoors and the surrounding Mediterranean beauty.

Villa Éole's private beach access and infinity pool offer breathtaking views of the ‘Golden Islands’ near Hyères—a rare sanctuary on the southern coast of France.

Accessible by land, sea, or air via a private marina and helipad, this villa epitomizes exclusivity. Each morning begins with dazzling sunrises that set a serene tone for the day. Beyond the terraces, the infinity pool appears to flow directly into the sea, with a sparkling blue horizon stretching endlessly.

Nearby, a sunlit lounge area provides both sun and shade, complemented by an outdoor bar and barbecue, ideal for casual lunches or sunset cocktails overlooking the Mediterranean.

Villa Éole also boasts two private sea access points: a secluded cove to the south for quiet reflection and a private beach to the east, complete with its own marina and pontoon—ideal for tranquil retreats or seaside adventures.

The villa offers high-end amenities, including a gym with panoramic sea views and a pétanque court lit for evening games, blending leisure with Provençal tradition.

Set on 2.5 acres of landscaped grounds, Villa Éole respects the region’s ecosystem, allowing guests to experience the Mediterranean in harmony with its pristine environment.

With each element designed for effortless luxury, Villa Éole is an opportunity to own a modernist masterpiece that is as secluded as it is connected to the spirit of the French Riviera.

The nearby town of Hyères is a hidden gem in the south of France, radiating quiet elegance on the Côte d’Azur with its historic old town, vibrant palm trees, and stunning coastal landscapes—just 10 miles west of Toulon and 30 miles from Saint-Tropez.
