A sale that goes down in the history of prestigious real estate

More than just a villa, the Palais Vénitien is a private palace, designed without compromise.
With nearly 3,000 m² of living space, it is set in the heart of a landscaped estate covering more than 2.4 hectares, featuring an ecological lake, extensive gardens, an outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court, and spectacular terraces overlooking the bay of Cannes.

Inspired by Byzantine and Venetian architecture, the property impresses with its monumental volumes, reception rooms, residential suites, and state-of-the-art technological features. A residence designed as both a place of representation and an intimate retreat. Magrey & Sons invites you to discover the history of the Palais Vénitien. 

A record transaction that puts Cannes on the map

The sale of the Palais Vénitien is now the highest real estate transaction ever made in Cannes.
This record confirms the city's exceptional appeal to an international clientele seeking unique, one-of-a-kind properties combining sea views, large private parks, and absolute privacy.

At this price level, Cannes joins the very exclusive circle of global markets capable of absorbing historic sales in France—with an added bonus: an unrivalled Mediterranean lifestyle combining elegance, discretion, and a gentle way of life.

Other major iconic sales in Cannes

While the Palais Vénitien currently tops the rankings, Cannes has already been the scene of major transactions that have become benchmarks in the luxury market:

An Art Deco icon in Cannes, this historic villa was the subject of an exceptional sale by Magrey & Sons, illustrating the appeal of large heritage properties.

Located opposite the Palais des Festivals, this duplex penthouse holds the record for an apartment in Cannes, with a frontal sea view of the Croisette.

An iconic Cannes property, sold for around €55 million, confirming the value of large historic properties.

Cannes, market for the most expensive villas still for sale

Beyond the record sales already achieved, Cannes remains one of the few markets where exceptional villas are still available for sale, reaching some of the highest price levels in France.

Magrey & Sons' portfolio includes some of the most expensive villas currently available in Cannes, located in the most sought-after neighborhoods: Croix des Gardes, Californie, and Super Cannes.

The Cannes market is driven by strong and sustainable momentum

It is no coincidence that Cannes is breaking records. The ultra-luxury villa market is supported by structural international demand, extremely limited supply, and a profound transformation of the city.

A powerful symbol of this renewal, the monumental cross of the Croix des Gardes was recently reinstalled, marking the return of a historic and emblematic landmark in the neighborhood. This powerful gesture, welcomed by the residents of Cannes, reinforces the identity and aura of this sought-after area.

At the same time, the city is continuing to make significant public investments: redevelopment of the Croisette, modernization of infrastructure, renovation of luxury hotels, and enhancement of natural spaces. These projects reinforce the overall attractiveness of Cannes and provide lasting support for the value of exceptional private properties.

Magrey & Sons, signature of exceptional sales

With the sale of the Palais Vénitien, Magrey & Sons confirms its role as the absolute benchmark in ultra-luxury transactions.
Handling properties of this caliber requires much more than real estate expertise: a targeted international network, a perfect understanding of heritage issues, and total discretion.

When a villa becomes a symbol

The Palais Vénitien is not just the biggest sale in Cannes.
It is the symbol of a mature market, a city with global influence, and a level of luxury that can only be expressed through the exceptional.

In Cannes, some villas are not for sale.
They become part of history.
