Property in Les Jardins d'Eau, Le Portier / Mareterra, Monaco

Les Jardins d’Eau is a residential development on Promenade Prince Jacques, 98000 Monaco, within the Mareterra district on Monaco’s newly extended Mediterranean waterfront. Completed during the 2020s as part of the principality’s major offshore expansion project, the residence forms one of the central residential components of Mareterra, Monaco’s newest district.

Unlike Monaco’s older neighbourhoods, Mareterra was designed around lower-density planning, wider landscaped areas and stronger integration between architecture, public space and the coastline. Les Jardins d’Eau sits directly within this environment, surrounded by planted gardens, pedestrian promenades, water features and open sea frontage between Larvotto and Portier Cove.

The development consists of several interconnected residential buildings designed by the French architectural practice Valode & Pistre alongside landscape architect Michel Desvigne. The architecture combines curved façades, extensive glazing and substantial terraces intended to maximise natural light, Mediterranean views and indoor-outdoor living throughout the year.

Apartments within Les Jardins d’Eau are configured to very high contemporary specifications, with large open reception areas, floor-to-ceiling glazing and expansive terraces facing the sea or landscaped gardens. Depending on orientation and level, residences benefit from views across Mareterra, Larvotto Bay, Monte-Carlo and the wider Mediterranean coastline.

Residents benefit from concierge and security services operating around the clock, secure underground parking, wellness and fitness facilities, swimming pools and direct access to Mareterra’s landscaped waterfront promenade. The development was also designed with strong environmental considerations, incorporating energy-efficiency systems and sustainable construction techniques aligned with the wider Mareterra masterplan.

One of the residence’s strongest advantages is its position between Larvotto and central Monte-Carlo. Residents remain within walking distance of Larvotto Beach, Avenue Princesse Grace, the Grimaldi Forum and Casino Square, while benefiting from a noticeably more open and less congested environment than many older parts of Monaco.

Les Jardins d’Eau represents a significant shift in Monaco residential development, combining newer environmental standards, larger contemporary living spaces and lower-density urban planning that would be difficult to replicate within the principality’s traditional built environment.
