Charter a superyacht in
The walled town of Antibes was once a Roman port and home to Napoleon and Picasso, offers far more than just a photo stop at the iconic Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc. Drop anchor off Cap d’Antibes and explore the scenic Sentier du Littoral, a coastal trail winding past cliffs and historic villas. Visit the Picasso Museum inside Château Grimaldi, where the artist once lived and worked and snack on socca and local cheeses at the covered market. A lunch and spa day at Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, or a relaxed afternoon at Plage Keller or Cap d’Antibes Beach Hotel completes the coastal charm. Inland, tour the lighthouse or Fort Carré for panoramic views, and stroll through the serene gardens of Villa Eilenroc.
Antibes is often overlooked, yet it offers one of the most diverse combinations of history, scenery and modern luxury on the Riviera. Its old town, still partially encircled by 16th-century walls faces a bustling superyacht port framed by the distant Alps. Just around the Cap lies Juan-les-Pins; a resort town born from Antibes’ expansion in the 19th century, offering lively nightlife, jazz clubs, and golden beaches.

By the 1920s, Antibes had attracted literary and social elites like F. Scott Fitzgerald. Today, Juan-les-Pins still hums with life, visit Le New Orleans jazz bar or party at YOLO Beach Club. For something more intimate, sip absinthe in the 19th-century cellar of the Absinthe Bar or reserve a table at Michelin-starred Le Figuier de Saint-Esprit or Les Pêcheurs for a fine dining experience.
Antibes’ yachting season spans from late May to early October, peaking in July and August. During these months, the energy is high, beach clubs are buzzing, and restaurants are in full swing. June and September offer warm weather and fewer crowds, ideal for coastal hikes, spa days, or quiet afternoons in a secluded bay.
October reveals a more peaceful side of Antibes. The air turns cooler, the sea retains its warmth, and the town returns to its roots. With snow-dusted Alps on the horizon and the summer crowds gone, it’s the perfect time for slow strolls through old streets, villa visits, and reflective moments by the sea, just as European royals once did before the Riviera became a summer hotspot.
