Whether it’s an opulent five-star hotel or a boutique guesthouse, I’ve included something to suit every taste and budget in this guide.

Here I share my pick of the best hotels in Antibes, based on my own personal experiences and recommendations from fellow travellers.

1. Hôtel Belles Rives

The hotel has 43 rooms and suites, each one beautifully decorated and furnished with all the amenities you could need.

From the classic rooms to the spacious suites, you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

One of my favourite highlights of Hôtel Belles Rives is its private beach, which is exclusively reserved for hotel guests.

Spend your days lounging on the sunbeds, taking a dip in the sea, or enjoying a drink at the beach bar.

If you’re looking for a luxurious but laid-back stay in Antibes, Villa Fabulite is one of the best options in my opinion.

This beautiful bolthole is located in a quiet area on one of the world’s most expensive stretches of coastline.

Magnificent Mediterranean-style architecture and gardens make Villa Fabulite feel like a true oasis. Interiors are equally impressive, with a kind of rustic elegance that gives fancy beach shack vibes.

There are 12 in total, each with their own personal touches and bursting with charm. Plus, they all have private terraces for a dreamy private alfresco space. 

The villa has a tempting outdoor pool, perfect for relaxing with a cocktail in hand. After a day of unwinding by the pool, I’d suggest taking it a step further with an indulgent treatment at the hotel’s spa.
