About Cannes
With its world-famous film festival, cultural events and top-notch French cuisine, Cannes really is a little slice of heaven on the Cote d’Azur. Continuous sunshine, fine-sand beaches and an appreciation of the finer things in life: it’s no surprise this unique location attracts so many of the rich and famous.
The highlight of the summer season is undoubtedly Cannes Film Festival. This huge annual event is the place to see and be seen. The festival attracts more than its fair share of celebrities, and staying at one of our luxury Cannes villas, you’ll fit right in. These villas are made for entertaining. And once you’re hosting a party on the sprawling poolside terrace, overlooking the city and coast, you’ll know you made the right choice.
Besides arts festivals and social events, there are endless other activities to get involved in. Head out sailing on the crystal waters of the Cote d’Azur or practice your backswing with a game of tennis. You can also discover the region’s heritage with a trip to one of Cannes’ many richly packed museums. After sampling world-class cuisine and doing a spot of luxury shopping, take a stroll along the Promenade de la Croisette. One of our favourite spots, this is the ideal place to enjoy both the city’s glittering lights and the natural splendour of its surrounds.
