One of the French Riviera’s most prestigious stretches of coastline, the Cap d’Antibes has been luring visitors for years with its exceptional beauty. The scenic peninsula was discovered by the British and Russian aristocracy during the 19th century, and the wild and untouched countryside of the Cap d’Antibes quickly became the place to build a luxury villa on the French Riviera. During the early 20th century, the Cap d’Antibes became one of the most exclusive resorts in the world. Hollywood stars vied with well-known artists and writers to snap up the exceptional properties all over the peninsula and to be seen on its fashionable beaches. The Cap d’Antibes’ greatest claim to fame is probably inspiring F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel ‘Tender is the night’, but it’s also played host to an incredible roll-call of well-known figures from the literary and artistic worlds over the years. From Ernest Hemingway to Dorothy Parker, Ella Fitzgerald to Charlie Chaplin and hundreds more besides, the Cap d’Antibes has a long and glamorous past filled with fascinating stories of the great and the good.

These days the Cap d’Antibes is just as spectacular, with a selection of some of the most luxurious properties to be found anywhere on the French Riviera. Belle Epoque palaces are hidden in the centre of leafy parks, while dazzling contemporary villas overlook the dramatic Mediterranean coastline. Busy Juan-les-Pins and Antibes are just a short walk away, but the Cap d’Antibes remains refreshingly authentic. This is after all, where traditional fishing boats are moored next to some of the world’s most lavish villas, and where local fishermen cast their lines from the shore in front of beautifully manicured gardens. Although the golden age of the 20s and 30s might be firmly in the past, today the Cap d’Antibes is just as well-known for its glorious climate, idyllic surroundings and glittering parties held throughout the summer season. Secluded and stunning, the Cap d’Antibes is one of the most beautiful jewels in the French Riviera’s crown.

Once you decide to move to the Cap d’Antibes, you’ll love the selection of lively restaurants and bars along the peninsula, while the rocky beaches and coves will provide the perfect backdrop for endless summers spent outdoors on the French Riviera. Neighbouring Antibes has a fantastic daily market in its old town plus a great selection of boutiques if you feel like doing some serious shopping. And there are plenty of hip bars and clubs in and around the port area if you fancy a big night out. Just a couple of hours by car or a short helicopter ride, you’ll find the Southern Alps for skiing or snowboarding during the winter season, plus of course that all-important apres-ski. In summer, St Tropez and Monaco are just a short hop along the coast if you fancy some serious beach action or want a change of (beautiful) scenery for the day. Life in the Cap d’Antibes is as enchanting as it is prestigious, once you invest in real estate here, you’ll wonder how you ever managed to live elsewhere.
