One Of The Riviera's Rare Permanent Helipad, Estates Ramatuelle, Saint Tropez Peninsula

Perched high in the pine-wooded hills above Ramatuelle beach, Villa Loum is among the most complete and considered private estates on the Côte d’Azur. A property that commands attention not through excess, but through the quiet authority of everything being exactly right.

Set within 16,243 square metres of private grounds on the Saint-Tropez Peninsula, the villa is a single-storey residence of generous proportions. Its stone-clad façades and terracotta rooflines are rooted in the Provençal vernacular, while the interiors are thoroughly of the contemporary moment. Floor-to-ceiling glazing draws the outside in across every principal room, framing views of ancient stone pines, the sculpted Mediterranean garden, and the shimmering expanse of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez beyond.

What sets Villa Loum apart from every comparable estate in the region is a privilege held by fewer than a handful of private properties on the entire Riviera: a fully licensed, permanently operational private helipad. Unlike the seasonal or administratively constrained helipads found elsewhere, this authorisation is unconditional and year-round. Guests arrive from Monaco, Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport, Cannes, Courchevel, or any European hub, directly and discreetly. For those who live at this level, it is the difference between a villa and a destination.

The pool terrace is the social heart of the estate. The infinity pool, of resort scale, heated, and aligned to capture the south-western panorama, is flanked by teak sun loungers and a broad stone terrace that transitions seamlessly into the landscaped gardens. A mature pin parasol, preserved as part of the original estate character, shades an outdoor dining and lounge area where long evenings unfold without effort.

Inside, the villa reveals a programme of spaces rarely assembled under a single roof. The principal living and dining areas are open, luminous, and unhurried in their proportions. The kitchen is fitted to a professional standard. Five en-suite bedroom suites each offer the privacy and finish of a five-star hotel room. Bathrooms are finished in natural stone with freestanding soaking baths positioned to face private garden terraces. The stillness here is perhaps the greatest luxury of all.

The leisure facilities are equally serious in their intent. A private cinema with tiered, fully upholstered seating. A billiard room hung with large-format contemporary artworks, opening into a games lounge. A fitness studio equipped to a professional standard, with a dedicated massage and treatment room alongside it. These are not gestures towards amenity. They are the real thing.

The beaches that define the Riviera summer lie minutes away. Pampelonne, the three-kilometre arc of sand that gave Saint-Tropez its mythology. Club 55, the institution where the tone of the season is set each year. Tahiti Plage, La Voile Rouge, Nikki Beach. Each is a five-minute drive from the estate, or a matter of moments from the helipad.

Villa Loum is available for private rental and for sale enquiries. It is a property that rewards the serious and discerning. Those who know what they are looking for will recognise it immediately.
