If you ever travel to the
French Riviera, forget the famous hotels and five-star resorts. They're great and all, but there's nothing quite like renting a villa in this part of the world. You can enjoy more privacy, do whatever you want, and live like a local! What's even better is that many of the vacation villas on the French Riviera come with their own private pools. They're perfect for cooling off under the Mediterranean sun, hosting a chic soirée, or when you still want to swim but you're not in the mood to go to the beach.

A
luxury villa in Cannes sounds like the ideal vacation home, doesn't it? In this wonderfully cinematic town on the French Riviera, you can luxuriate in a beautiful estate and enjoy the Mediterranean sunshine. That's exactly what you can expect if you rent this exquisite five-bedroom villa in Cannes. It's a two-story idyllic escape with lush gardens, spacious rooms, and best of all, a private pool. The pool area is surrounded by tall trees and bushy shrubs, allowing you to swim and splash away in privacy. With a well-cut lawn beside it, you can also host a pool party in the peak of summer!
Palm Spring Villa
Speaking of pool parties, it's as if this tropical-looking Palm Spring Villa in
Cannes was built for exactly that. The private pool itself is big and wide, lined with lush greenery and sun beds perfect for getting a tan. Whether you go for a chill hangout with close friends and family or a big soirée where guests can invite other people, you're bound to have a great time here. And when you're on your own, a nice dip makes for a relaxing time. It's the best way to keep cool when you spend summer on the French Riviera.
CESAR
Cannes is not the only town worth your while in Southern France. There's also Gassin, which may be a more
underrated destination on the French Riviera but still paradisaical nonetheless. Many don't consider it as part of the Riviera since it's not by the sea. Gassin is located on top of a huge rock in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Surrounded by wonderful woodlands, it's the perfect summer escape. Especially since there are villas here like this four-bedroom CESAR villa. The private pool is more than a good enough alternative to the Mediterranean Sea, especially since the town's high location places you closer to the sun.
EMERAUDE
This four-bedroom EMERAUDE villa also in Gassin is another prime real estate for all you Southern France vacationers out there. The house itself is clean and crisp, almost as if it's a suburban home located in an idyllic town on the French Riviera. Thanks to its fairly high location, you can see the Mediterranean Sea from here too, which is great since Gassin is not a coastal commune. Of course, there's no denying that the real highlight is the private pool. The pool area also overlooks the rest of the French Riviera and is so big that the edge bathes you in bright sunshine.
GRIMALDINE
Grimaud is a wholesome
town on the French Riviera that's sure you charm your pants off. It's a seaside village with a beautiful coast, Medieval castles, and scenic canals that can even rival those in Venice. The place is perfect for a summer getaway, even more so if you rent a villa like this seven-bedroom GRIMALDINE home. The huge space makes it suitable for a big group, be it your entire clan or perhaps a work vacation with your colleagues. Compared to other vacation villas on this list, the place is a lot more modern. The backyard even has a nice deck with a private pool to boot. What's not to love?
MAGNOLIA
What could be better than a private pool that overlooks a breathtaking landscape on the French Riviera? This is exactly what you'll get when you rent this four-bedroom MAGNOLIA villa in Grimaud. Flower-laden bushes serve as a natural fence between the estate's pool area and a sweeping scenery that includes mountains, woodlands, and more. Imagine how impressed your guests will be if you host a pool party in this villa! They'll be so enchanted with the view, that they'll spend more time taking pictures with their phones instead of swimming. Well, at least they'll still get a nice tan with all the sunshine here!
PERLE
This idyllic five-bedroom PERLE villa also has a private pool area that offers an amazing view of the French Riviera. Thanks to its hilltop location, the pool overlooks the nearby forest, town, and even the Mediterranean Sea further off into the horizon. If you want to cool off by swimming in the pool instead of going to a
beach on the French Riviera, you can just spend time here while enjoying the view. And though the villa is too big for a couple, there's no denying that it's quite perfect for a honeymoon in Southern France.
POMME
Finally, there's this lavish POMME villa that's also in Grimaud. Situated in a fairly quiet part of the village, you can enjoy the most relaxing swim in the estate's luxurious private pool. It's not exactly the biggest, but there's no doubt that it's cool and refreshing. It's big enough for a few laps and, afterwards, you can relax on a nearby sun bet and get a good tan. By the afternoon, you can sip on cocktails, chat away with friends, and indulge in French cuisine. Doesn't that sound like the perfect holiday in the south of France?
A luxury villa on the French Riviera is practically incomplete without a private pool. Just take a look at these exceptional vacation rentals. They have some of the most luxurious private pools in this part of the world!
