"At the Villa, the captivating sunsets become a cherished moment, setting the stage for the evening ahead."
This 600 m² villa, built in 2013, showcases a contemporary design and expansive spaces that harmonize with the breathtaking natural setting. Between sky, sea, dunes, and a forest of pines and oaks, its exceptionally privileged location in one of the most stunning spots on the Arcachon Bay, right on the waterfront, offers incredible advantages. Chief among these is the 180-degree view that spans the Banc d’Arguin and the Cap Ferret Lighthouse. A private pathway lined with native coastal flora offers direct access to the beach. The villa’s standout feature is a private 100m² dock, enabling boat launch directly in front of the property at low tide or hosting unique waterfront dinners.
A unique place to share
A terrace seemingly suspended above the sea
Villa Ciel et Mer is cleverly divided into two distinct sections: Ciel, perched slightly higher, and Mer, situated below. Conceptualized as two separate entities, they are seamlessly connected by an outdoor staircase, providing an optimal setup for two families vacationing together. Each section of the villa boasts its own kitchen that flows into generous living spaces, each extending onto large terraces furnished with a plancha for delightful al fresco dining post-beach outings. An additional third terrace, spanning 80m2, further enriches the villa’s outdoor offerings, ensuring ample space for everyone to discover their ideal relaxation nook.
Six bedrooms offer breathtaking views of the bay and immediate access to the beach, while four others overlook the serene forest. Another independent bedroom is also available, perfect for accommodating a chef. A concierge service is available to meet your needs for a customized and hassle-free stay experience!
A panoramic experience
Constructed with raw concrete, the Villa Ciel et Mer features impressive ceiling heights ranging from 4 to 5 meters, fostering open and expansive living spaces. The large windows are particularly well-suited for its frontline location, showcasing a technical feat to withstand the wind. The villa’s architecture allows for total immersion in the landscape at multiple levels, creating a visual continuity between its luxurious interior and the natural splendor of the Arcachon Bay.
The interior design emphasizes noble materials. Custom-made furniture crafted from large wooden panels conceals storage spaces in the living areas, creating a streamlined atmosphere. The solid oak bench in front of the Sea fireplace is a beautiful piece composed of a single wood slab. As for the headboards and the two large dining tables, they bring a more distinctive touch: they are former carriage doors reworked and reclaimed from a mansion in Bordeaux.

The Villa Ciel et Mer also serves as a venue for temporary exhibitions. In 2024, the paintings of Bertrand Bouet Willaumez showcase the Landes forest as an invitation, while the exclusive artworks of Séverine Hamon add the finishing touch to the vibrant canvas of the Villa.
