Pierre & Vacances Resort Pont Royal

The resort and its setting

Pierre & Vacances Resort Pont Royal sits within the Domaine et Golf de Pont-Royal in Mallemort, a village in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of Provence. The resort is built around a golf course and offers the airy, terrace-and-balcony style accommodation typical of Pierre & Vacances properties, with guests consistently mentioning how spacious the units feel. On site there's a water park for the warmer months, tennis courts, and dining options, all within a setting that feels more rural retreat than city break. Google reviewers rate it 4.1 out of 5 from nearly 2,900 reviews — a solid, consistent score for a resort of this size and age.

The area and things to do

Mallemort lies in the Luberon area of Provence, a region known for hilltop villages, lavender fields (best seen in bloom during early-to-mid summer), vineyards, and markets selling local produce. The surrounding countryside is popular with cyclists and walkers, and golfers will find the on-site course is one of the area's draws, alongside several others within driving distance. This isn't a beach resort — it's inland Provence, so visitors come for the landscape, the villages, and the slower pace rather than coastal attractions. The wider region, including Aix-en-Provence and the Luberon villages, is well served by road, and most owners and renters treat a car as close to essential given the rural setting.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Pont Royal and no longer use it, or want to rent it out instead, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list it directly as a private, owner-to-owner sale or rental. You set your own asking price, write your own listing, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform — there's a one-time listing fee to publish, and we don't take any commission on what you agree with a buyer.

Pierre & Vacances Resort Pont Royal is an independently run resort, not part of one of the larger timeshare brand chains, so a resale here is typically processed through the resort's own owners' association or management rather than a corporate transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth asking the resort directly (or checking your ownership paperwork) for two things: the current transfer or administration fee for registering a new owner, and the current annual maintenance fee, since these figures aren't standardised and can vary by unit size and week. Buyers should budget for both, and sellers should have them ready to quote, since they're usually the first questions a serious buyer will ask.

One point worth flagging for anyone trading weeks: this resort has a verified affiliation with RCI, so if your week carries exchange rights, that's a genuine selling point to mention in your listing — just confirm with the resort or your paperwork that the specific week and unit you hold still carries that affiliation before promising it to a buyer.

Practical notes

Mallemort is inland, so renters researching the resort should know in advance that this is a countryside and golf setting rather than a seafront one — set expectations accordingly in your listing description to avoid mismatched bookings. Spring and early autumn tend to suit visitors who want milder weather for walking or golf without the peak summer heat, while summer brings the water park into full use and is the busiest stretch locally. If you're listing a week for rent, mention the on-site water park and tennis courts specifically, since reviewers call these out as highlights, and be clear about which calendar week your ownership covers so renters can plan around regional events and village markets.
