Stroll along the Promenade de la Croisette, relax on the golden sands of Plage du Midi or Plage Croisette, admire the stunning Yachts in Cannes’ harbour or visit the town’s high-end boutiques. Chanel, Dior, Gucci and Jean Paul Gaultier are just some of the top designers that line the Promenade.

If you are looking for stylish French dining options, go for one of the terraced restaurants that offer stunning sea views, while French bistros serve delicious flavours of local produce.

If you have time, we suggest visiting the nearby city of Nice or the charming medieval town of Eze.

The Cannes Film Festival, held every year in May, is probably the town’s best-known event, attracting the world's leading professionals in the film industry, from Hollywood celebrities to valued directors. However, the Cannes Yachting Festival also draws important crowds, showcasing almost 600 boats where from motor yachts to catamarans, over top-of-the-range luxury superyachts are lining up the town’s two ports: Vieux Port and Port Pierre Canto.

The fastest and smoothest way to arrive at these events is to charter a private jet to Cannes, then avoid the ground traffic with a private helicopter transfer to Cannes harbour.

We advise clients looking to fly over these periods to book in advance, to ensure availability and best prices, as slot availability can be limited for last-minute flights.

If you are looking for a luxurious red-carpet-ready hotel where you can relax and party at the same time, Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic will be your perfect choice.

This 5-star property is located right on La Croisette, facing the Palais des Festivals, the hub of the Cannes Film Festival. Come here for world-class service, elegant suites, star-spotting bars, the best spa in town and sophisticated dining. Le Majestic has its own private beach, which, after sunset, shifts from water sports and beach games to partying at the buzzing bar. Special touches, such as the private cinema with sofas and velvet wingback armchairs and its VIP kids' club set the hotel apart. Kids can indulge in cookery, French classes, photography, mocktail-sipping and movie-making while parents are sipping champagne: this is Cannes, after all.
