Ultima Cannes Le Grand Jardin

Ultima Collection Announces The Launch Of An Ultra-Luxe Eco Estate In Cannes

Ultima Collection has announced the newest addition to its expanding portfolio, Ultima Cannes Le Grand Jardin, opening in spring 2022. The only private property on the island of Sainte-Marguerite, Ultima Cannes Le Grand Jardin is a historic, walled private estate that was previously home to royals such as Louis XIV and the world's elite. Like Ultima Collection's existing properties across Europe, Le Grand Jardin will feature state-of-the-art décor, facilities and the highest levels of service whilst offering a completely exclusive, secluded, and once-in-a-lifetime experience for a group on the Côte d'Azur.

Famed for its unspoilt beauty and at just under two miles long, Sainte-Marguerite is the largest of four islands in the Lérins archipelago, situated about half a mile off the French Mediterranean coast. The island has attracted artists and photographers such as Picasso and Lee Miller, who often sought refuge from the mainland for their 'very own' unspoilt island retreat. The French avant-garde painter, Francis Picabia, was mesmerised by the island's extraordinary flora, fauna and light, and captured its rugged coastline in his painting L'île Sainte-Marguerite.

Exclusively accessible by boat (just 10 minutes from Cannes) or helicopter, with no cars on Sainte-Marguerite, Ultima's guests will feel as they are staying on their very own, secluded private island.
