There are destinations that have their moment, and then there are places like the French Riviera that never go out of fashion. Year after year, the Côte d’Azur draws in travelers with a mix of timeless charm, understated elegance, and that easy Mediterranean glamour you can’t quite find anywhere else.
Whether you’re sipping rosé in Saint-Tropez, strolling the markets of Antibes, or arriving by tender to a tucked-away beach club near Cap d’Antibes, the Riviera always delivers. And there’s a reason the world’s most stylish travelers keep coming back.
A Season That Starts in the Sky
There’s something about flying in over the Riviera that sets the tone. The coastline appears, dotted with yachts, glittering with villas, and framed by hills that seem to glow just right in the late afternoon sun
Most travelers heading this way choose to arrive through Nice or Cannes, both of which offer fast VIP access, minimal wait times, and seamless transfers to wherever you’re staying. From the moment you land, things feel lighter. Quieter. Better.
More Than Just a Pretty Coastline
The Côte d’Azur isn’t just about beaches and bougainvillaea. It’s a collection of towns and moments, each with its own pace and personality.
There’s the flash of Monaco and the calm of Èze. The boutique energy of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. The late-night rhythm of Cannes during festival season. And the golden hours in Ramatuelle, where a long lunch can drift easily into sunset.
It’s a place that doesn’t ask for attention. It just earns it.
Where to Stay When You Want to Stay a While
The charm of the Riviera is in how relaxed it all feels. You can check into a legendary hotel like the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc or Villa La Coste, or stay at a private villa with just the right amount of seclusion.
For those who want the full experience, pairing a villa stay with yacht access gives you the flexibility to explore the coastline the way it was meant to be seen. Wake up in Saint-Tropez, lunch in Cannes, swim off the coast of Porquerolles. It’s the kind of itinerary that writes itself.
