Villas, mansions, Provençal bastides, luxury apartments overlooking the sea

Our sea view houses come in several forms: contemporary villas, architect-designed homes and Provençal houses, some of them built on terraced hillsides. In Sanary-sur-Mer, also browse our villas in Sanary-sur-Mer, our contemporary houses and our houses in La Pinède.

The view changes with the area. In the hills of Bandol, Ollioules or La Cadière-d'Azur, it opens onto the bay of Bandol, the bay of Toulon or the vineyards. Closer to the shore, the sea becomes part of everyday life.

 

Sea view apartments in Sanary-sur-Mer and Bandol

Our apartments are found mostly in small residences, some of them new builds. Between Sanary-sur-Mer and Bandol, some apartments sit right across from the beach, on the garden level or on the top floor. In Bandol, a sought-after residential area within walking distance of the shops offers renovated apartments with open views over the sea and the hills.

These apartments often come with outdoor space: a terrace, a garden or a rooftop terrace. It is a deciding factor for enjoying the sea view every day.

 

Seafront and beachfront houses

Frontline properties are few. Along the Var coast, some villas overlook the beach directly and offer private beach access. Others sit a few minutes' walk from the harbour and the beaches, as in Bandol, close to the coastal path that links the harbour, the beaches and the town centre.

The table below summarises the areas highlighted in our selection and what each one offers.

Our selection also extends to Hyères, Le Pradet, La Seyne-sur-Mer, La Londe-les-Maures and other towns along the Var coast.

What gives a sea view its value

Two sea view properties are never equal. Five criteria weigh in the comparison:

• The type of view: panoramic, open or a simple sea glimpse.
• Orientation: full south, south-east or south-west, for light throughout the day.
• Height: a top floor or a dominant position protects the view.
• Terraces and outdoor space: a terrace, a garden or an infinity pool extend the view.
• Distance to the beach: facing the beach, private access or a few minutes on foot.

What is the difference between a panoramic view, an open view and a sea glimpse?

A panoramic view takes in the sea over a wide sector. An open view looks onto the sea without obstacles, over a narrower angle. A sea glimpse is a view of the water visible from certain rooms or terraces.
