Juan-les-Pins, part of the municipality of Antibes, is the beach resort par excellence of the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur), renowned for its fine sandy beaches (unlike the pebble beaches of Nice) and its vibrant nightlife. Historically linked to the golden age of jazz and glamour, it hosts the famous Jazz à Juan festival. It's the ideal place for those seeking the elegance of a historic hotel or a luxury resort right on the sea, combining daytime relaxation and lively evening entertainment. Our travel designers consider it the true essence of young and dynamic luxury on the Riviera.

Beach Resorts and Must-Sees Recommended by our local guides

• Beaches of Juan-les-Pins – From the public Plage de la Salis to the equipped private beaches, the fine sand and shallow waters are perfect for swimming and sunbathing.
• Promenade du Soleil – The elegant seafront, ideal for a sunset stroll or admiring the luxury boutiques.
• Pinède Gould – The maritime pine park where the Jazz à Juan festival is held, a magical place, especially during summer events.
• Cap d'Antibes – A walk on the coastal path is an unmissable experience to enjoy wild and luxurious views at the same time.

Gastronomy and What to Taste

• Socca – The typical chickpea 'farinata', crispy and warm, to be enjoyed as street food.
• Pissaladière – A kind of pizza with caramelized onions and anchovies (without cheese).
• Provence Rosé Wines – Perfect for accompanying a light lunch by the sea.

Events and Real Experiences

The top experience here is Jazz à Juan (July), but even out of season, the atmosphere is electric. Our experts recommend having an aperitif at one of the beach lounge bars during happy hour, combining it with dinner at a fresh seafood restaurant. Instead of the crowd, we suggest a sailing trip towards the Lérins Islands for an unforgettable swim, or a visit to nearby Antibes and its ancient Fort Carré.
