Antibes sits between Nice and Cannes, but its shoreline is a different world-quiet coves, rocky inlets, and sandy stretches like Garoupe and Salis. Booking a hotel here means choosing between two distinct coastal lifestyles: the Cap d'Antibes peninsula, where pine-shaded villas overlook calm water, or the old town harbor, where you step from your room onto the ramparts and the beach is a three-minute walk. The 22 properties in this selection cover both, with rates starting around $109 per night in low season and climbing to $350+ for spa resorts with private beach areas.
For direct sand access, Hotel Beau Site - Cap D'Antibes sits a 5-minute walk from Garoupe beach, but the clear standout is Boutique Hotel Villa Fabulite-less than 100 meters from the shore with a pool and Provençal restaurant. Travelers wanting both beach and nightlife should look at Hotel Josse, directly opposite Salis Beach and within walking distance of Juan-les-Pins. Families often choose Soblue Hotel near Vaugrenier Beach (1 km) for its seasonal pool and free parking. Key advice: beachfront hotels in Antibes rarely include loungers in the room rate-Royal Antibes charges extra for beach access during summer and requires advance booking. For parking, Best Western Plus Antibes Riviera offers free private spaces, while central options like Hotel Le Collier (Old Town) charge for secure on-site parking.
