Ultra Luxury Cannes Holidays

Cannes is not just about beaches and film stars, it’s a city brimming with history, culinary excellence and unique experiences that cater to all travelers. From lounging on luxurious beaches to indulging in gourmet dining and immersing yourself in the city’s cultural heritage, Cannes promises a truly unforgettable experience.

La Croisette is the ultimate destination to experience the best of Cannes. This palm-lined promenade stretches along the Mediterranean, offering views of the sparkling blue waters and golden sand. Here, you'll find luxury hotels, designer boutiques and upscale restaurants, the perfect spot for a luxurious beach day.

The largest public beach, Plage du Midi, spans 700m and features beach clubs with pontoons for sunbathing away from the crowds. It also has a children’s play area, making it perfect for families. Further along the boulevard, there are three smaller public beaches: Plage Laugier, Plage Mistral, and Plage Madrigal. Each has showers and close to shops, cafés and kiosks. A promenade runs behind the beaches, popular with cyclists and joggers.

From boat trips to diving and segway tours, there's something for everyone. At the eastern end of Plage du Midi, you'll find the ferry port, where you can catch boats to the nearby Lérins Islands, Sainte-Marguerite and Saint Honorat, as well as to Saint-Tropez. Additionally, the area offers a range of activities, including bike rentals and segway tours, perfect for exploring.

Cannes is also renowned for its outstanding dining scene, which blends Mediterranean flavors with French culinary traditions. One such acclaimed restaurant in the city is Palme d’Or, located in the iconic Hotel Martinez. Experience a relaxed yet refined gastronomic style, where fish is the star, enhanced by raw or wood-grilled techniques that highlight the diverse flavors of the Mediterranean.

For a more intimate, local dining experience, Table 22 by Mantel, in the historic Suquet neighborhood and just a stone's throw from Marché Forville, a dedicated team passionately highlights premium ingredients and delicious Provençal flavor. Dishes such as charred mackerel with beefsteak tomatoes and lime-ginger mustard create a truly irresistible menu.

The city’s most famous event, the Cannes Film Festival, attracts global celebrities every May. If you're lucky enough to visit during the festival, head to La Croisette, where the red carpet is rolled out and stars grace the streets. The area is buzzing with energy, filled with journalists, fans, and international media. Or why not traverse to the Palais des Festivals, the heart of the event. Here, you can catch glimpses of arriving superyachts and private boats docked at the port.

Beyond the festival, the Le Suquet neighborhood offers a rich dive into the history of Cannes as an old fishing village. Wander through its narrow, winding streets where you can witness local fishermen at work. Exploring this area gives visitors a deeper understanding of the city’s maritime and cultural heritage roots before it became the luxury destination it is today.
