Clubhotel Pierre & Vacances St Mandrier

The resort and its setting

Clubhotel Pierre & Vacances St Mandrier is an independent timeshare resort on the St. Mandrier peninsula, a quiet stretch of coastline in the Var département, between Toulon and the Giens peninsula. Accommodation is in self-catering, apartment-style units aimed at couples, families and groups who want their own space rather than a standard hotel room, with a mix of on-site leisure facilities and dining geared towards relaxed, sun-and-sea holidays. The resort trades on its position close to the water rather than on scale, so owners tend to value it for the setting as much as for the unit itself.

St. Mandrier and the surrounding area

St. Mandrier-sur-Mer is a small, low-key peninsula town rather than a built-up resort strip, known for sheltered coves, a working harbour and a laid-back pace that suits people who want beach time without crowds. The wider Var coast gives easy access to sailing and watersports, local markets, and the kind of Provençal village life — stone lanes, church squares, weekly markets — that draws return visitors to this part of France. Toulon, with its naval history and ferry links, is a short drive away, and the Giens peninsula and Hyères are both within easy reach for a change of scene. Inland, the vineyards of Provence make for an easy day trip for owners who want to pair beach days with wine country.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Clubhotel Pierre & Vacances St Mandrier and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com is an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to post your ad, and BidMyTimeshare.com takes 0% commission on the sale or rental — unlike agency resales, where a cut is taken off the top.

Because this is an independent resort, any resale transfer is handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a national brand office. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, sellers should confirm directly with the resort or its management what the current transfer fee is, whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and what the current annual maintenance fee is — these details aren't standardised across independent resorts, so getting them in writing avoids surprises later. A resale buyer typically takes on the deeded or contracted week itself, along with the obligation to pay future annual fees; perks tied to the original purchase, such as any loyalty points unrelated to the week, do not usually carry over.

The resort's RCI affiliation is a genuine selling point to mention in your listing: buyers interested in flexibility, not just a fixed French week, will want to know they can potentially deposit the week with RCI to exchange for stays elsewhere, subject to RCI's own rules and availability.

What renters and buyers typically look for

Renters researching this resort are usually after a Mediterranean beach week with self-catering flexibility, proximity to the water, and access to Provence without big-city prices. Buyers, meanwhile, tend to ask about which week or season they'd be assigned, unit size, whether the week is fixed or floating, current annual fees, and whether it's RCI-enrolled — so it's worth having these details ready before you list.

Practical notes

Late spring through early autumn is when this stretch of coast is at its best, with calmer seas and busier local markets and harbour life; midsummer books up fastest, so list or search well ahead of peak weeks. If your preferred dates aren't available, an RCI exchange into another European coastal resort is often a sensible fallback for owners who are flexible on timing.
