Follow us. Few places are as closely associated with romanticism and glamour as the French Riviera. From Twenties tales of champagne-fuelled hedonism to the Cannes Film Festival , super yachts and celebrity sightings, this sun-soaked corner of France is all about glittering excess. For while much of the focus on the Riveria tends to be on Cannes , Monaco or Saint Tropez, it is Antibes that is home to the largest port β and so the biggest yachts β in Europe, and it is at the Hotel Du Cap that one of the biggest red-carpet events of the year, the amfAR Gala, is held.
It's also where F Scott Fitzgerald used to summer, but more on that later. And yet you don't need to put your wallet through open-heart surgery to experience all the luxury Antibes has to offer. We've found the very best hotels, restaurants and things to do in Antibes that us mere mortals can happily enjoy. Set on the edge of the Cap d'Antibes amidst the biggest, most beautiful homes in the Riviera, this contemporary hotel is a world away from the Art Deco institutions that dot the surrounding coastline.
From the pared-back but funky interiors to the vitality pool with hydromassage jets, this privately owned, room bolthole is as chic as it is modern.
All the tech inside the suites is cutting-edge. Think chromotherapy showers, whirlpool baths, huge wall-mounted TVs and brand-new Nespresso machines. Every room comes with a private terrace, each complete with an uber-comfortable daybed overlooking the bay of Cannes.

Sit outside and marvel at the superyachts as they pass by, or unwind under the stars after dinner in one of the impossibly fluffy dressing gowns provided.
