All-Star Luxury in Cannes, Côte d'Azur

Once you arrive at your hotel, shed your airport outfit and slip right into your beach attire! Lunch on the French Riveria is a serious art form. Head down to the main strip, the Boulevard de La Croisette, to find world-class beach clubs with amazing lunch options.

A favorite spot of mine is the Carlton Cannes Beach Club. White sand beaches, loungers, umbrellas, the whole nine. The lobster roll is a must. Looking for just drinks? They’ve got you covered, too.

Take an after lunch stroll on La Croisette, looking at all of the options for your next few days in Cannes. Head back to your hotel for a shower, power nap, and prep for dinner.

Dinner is no less impressive on the Côte d’Azur. Head down to the Palms for dinner at Le Petit Mason. Open late with live music and incredible drinks. Did someone say prawns? Yes, please.

Looking to end with a nightcap? Stroll on over to Bâoli Cannes for the full club experience.

After you’ve gotten yourself ready for the day, maybe had coffee and croissant from the hotel breakfast bar, make your way down to the ferry docks.

St. Tropez is about a 40 minute ferry ride from the La Vieux Port in Cannes. You should definitely buy your ferry tickets ahead of time online or your hotel concierge may also be able to assist you.

Some ferry tips: Bring your camera; the views are beautiful! Bring a hat or scarf; it can get HOT on the ferry and the top deck doesn’t have too much shade. Drinks and snacks are available for purchase on the ferry.

Once you arrive in St. Tropez, be sure to double and triple check you know how to get back to the dock and what time you need to be back since the ferry only runs once per day.

Explore the old town of St. Tropez. Colorful buildings, old world charm. There is no shortage of luxury shopping, either. Looking for pastries? Cedric Grolet pastry shop on Rue des Feniers is another must-try.

For lunch, take an uber/taxi to Shellona. Beachfront dining, lively French experience. There are two seating times. Earlier, more relaxed, later more party. Keep in mind if you decide to choose the later seating time, you may need to make other arrangements back to Cannes.

After you arrive back in Cannes, head to your hotel to relax, unwind, and freshen up before dinner. Late dinners are to be expected. Find your way down La Croisette to La Môme. Lively atmosphere, great drinks, great food, and even better hospitality. End your night here, laughing with new friends and dancing on chairs.

Take the morning slow and enjoy your hotel’s incredible breakfast buffet. Get ready and prepare yourself for a day packed with fun and sun.

Any trip to Cannes would not be complete without a visit to La Guérite. La Guérite is a lunch day club. Bold, iconic, and wild in the best way possible. Live DJ, amazing food, and an absolutely electric atmosphere. Make your reservation way in advance to secure your day of fun—go for the second seating (around 3:30 p.m.).

La Guérite is only accessible by boat. The restaurants reservations team will work with you to secure a spot on one of their taxi service boats. The taxi boat picks up and drops off at the Port of Cannes. If you would like to provide your own transportation, you are also welcome to do so.

Head back to Cannes and explore Boulevard de la Croisette. Here you’ll find every luxury shop you can think of. If you are in Cannes on a Sunday, there is also a local farmers market on La Croisette.

For dinner, walk down to Bobo Bistro. Hands down the best meal you’ll have on the trip. A small family-run bistro in the heart of Cannes. Everything is handmade. Everything is delicious. Linguini and clams? Get it. Reservations are preferred but not required.

Get your bathing suit ready and head on down to the Port of Cannes. You’ve already worked with your Fora Advisor to secure yourself a private boat charter for the day.

Relax and unwind on the Bay of Cannes atop your charter. Swim and snorkel above the Îles de Lérins. Feeling hungry? Grab pizza from the floating pizza boat. You order, they bring it directly to you.

Once you return to the port, this is your free afternoon. Stop by Laudree to grab some delicious macaroons and French pastries. Head down to the beach for an afternoon stroll.

For dinner, head to Lucia Cannes. This is a beachfront restaurant serving light bites and drinks aperitif style.

Enjoy your final night on the Côte d’Azur.
