Villa La Mandala, Castle in Saint-Tropez, France.
Villa La Mandala is a residence perched on a rocky outcrop with direct access to Graniers Beach, containing approximately 500 square meters of living space set within a two-hectare property. The structure sits upon and integrates natural coastal rock formations into its design.
The residence gained prominence in 2012 when businessman Bernard Tapie purchased it for 48 million euros. French authorities seized the property in 2013 during an official investigation.
The residence reflects Mediterranean living through its blend of French Riviera design with modern touches that shape how the area has evolved into a luxury locale. Visitors can see how coastal architecture here balances tradition with contemporary style.
A private pathway connects the property directly to Graniers Beach, providing convenient beach access. The location sits just minutes from Place des Lices, the main square in Saint-Tropez where shops and dining options are found.
The residence was constructed directly upon coastal rocks, incorporating natural stone formations into its structure rather than building away from them. This creates a rare integration where the home appears to grow from the landscape itself.
