Discreet, elegant, almost secret, Villa Fabulite stands out as one of the best Hotels on the Cap d'Antibes. This vacation home, transformed into a 5-star boutique hotel, is hidden just steps from the beaches and the mythical Baie de la Garoupe.

You enter it as if it were A private villa, surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation: orange, lemon, olive, and palm trees line the paths of a lush garden with a central swimming pool, yet secluded from view. The atmosphere here is resolutely gentle, almost island-like.

Inside, the 12 rooms and suites are like true bright cocoons, designed as havens of light wood, washed linen, artisanal tiles, and simple-lined furniture, sometimes with vintage finds. Some have a private patio or a garden nook, others a terrace inviting you for a nap or breakfast among the foliage. Here, the decor favors natural materials and subdued tones, creating an elegant unity between the living spaces and the surrounding landscape.

At the Villa restaurant, named «Le Fab,» freshness is the name of the game: a concise, evolving menu, focused on local products, grilled fish, garden herbs, and sun-kissed vegetables. You can have lunch in the shade, dine by moonlight, or settle in by the pool to sip a homemade cocktail. On the wellness side, the Villa offers massages and access to a sauna and a hammam, in a spirit of unashamed slow luxury.

Do we like it? The general atmosphere is one of chic relaxation, supported by a team that is attentive but never intrusive.

Hôtel Belles Rives – The soul of the Roaring Twenties by the water

A legendary hotel steeped in literature and elegance, the Belles Rives stands as a living legend of the French Riviera, among the most beautiful palaces. Housed within the walls of the former villa where F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald lived in the 1920s, this 5-star hotel with Art Deco architecture has managed to preserve its period atmosphere while offering exceptional contemporary comfort.

The bougainvillea-covered facade, wrought-iron balconies, original frescoes, inlaid floors, and vintage elevators tell of an era when glamour went hand-in-hand with freedom. The rooms and suites open onto vast, uniquely decorated spaces, blending Hermès wallpaper, antique furniture, and modernist touches in harmonious tones. The white marble bathrooms sometimes open directly onto the sea, and the balconies offer sweeping views of the Mediterranean, the private beach, or the gardens below.

The culinary experience reaches its peak here with The Passenger, Michelin-starred restaurant, where Chef Aurélien Véquaud elevates seafood and local produce through poetic dishes with exquisitely crafted presentations. The Fitzgerald bar, located in the interior lounges, offers a reinvention of classic mixology surrounded by decor dedicated to the world of the novel and the Fitzgerald Prize.

A single point? The hotel is the only one still offering water skiing from its own pier, perpetuating the tradition of a sea-oriented lifestyle. The private beach, with its striped umbrellas, retro loungers, and freshly cut fruit, invites you to experience the dolce vita of a bygone era...

We perfect the experience with aesthetic treatments from the brands La Canopée and anti-aging expert Valmont, and personalized massages at the spa.

Why do we love him/her/it? The attentive welcome embodies the nobility of a historic place where every detail—from the abundant flowers to the crystal glasses—contributes to a timeless experience. In Juan-les-Pins, there is no address that is more romantic or more deeply rooted in the history of the Riviera!
