ANTIBES

Home to: Les Voiles D’Antibes

Between Cannes and Nice on the French Riviera (Côte d’Azur), Antibes is known for its old town that's enclosed by 16th-century ramparts with a star-shaped Fort Carré. This overlooks luxury classic yachts moored at the Port Vauban Marina during the must-do Panerai Classic Yacht Challenge 'Les Voiles D'Antibes'. The forested Cap d’Antibes peninsula, dotted with grand villas, separates Antibes from Juan-les-Pins, a chic resort with buzzing nightlife and home to the Jazz à Juan music festival. Find out where to reside and what to do below.

Hotel du cap-Eden-roc

As much as we love Antibes and its vibrant nightlife, sometimes just driving away from it, down the Boulevard J.F. Kennedy at sunset is a rest bite in itself. In true style you might anchor off the hotel or just drive...  By car you'll shortly arrive at the Cap d'Antibes and to the best hotel in town ready for a cool glass of something in the Eden-Roc Bar, over looking the prestigious swimming pool, originally built by using dynamite to carve out the rock in 1914.

Historically this hotel has been a retreat for writers and creatives for over 146 years. Originally built by the founder of Le Figaro as 'Villa Soleil'; then first restored and re-opened in 1889 by hotelier Antoine Sella as Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, in 1920 Nobel Laureate George Bernard Shaw became their most loyal guest. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor sought privacy here straight after the Duke's abdication in 1936. During the Second World War this luxurious building was a military hospital and home to allied troops for 3 years. You can sit and compare the history of your classic yacht with the history of this world-renowneddestination all day long...

Look at it like a mid-week rest bite, soak those evening sunsets up – glow on! Get away from the crew, the crowds and relax inside one of the most glamorous hotels in the world. Book here.
