About Juan-les-Pins

Juan-les-Pins is nestled on the western side of the Cap d'Antibes, opposite its sister town of Antibes. A classic Côte d'Azur seaside resort with lovely beaches, palm-shaded terraces, chic cafes and elegant Art Deco townhouses, Juan-les-Pins has long been a favourite haunt of celebrities, artists and writers, and is also home to Europe's oldest jazz festival. There's stacks for visitors to see and do here, and a great range of accommodation options to choose from. Whether you're dreaming of a charming villa or a luxurious beach hotel, our pick of the best places to stay in Juan-les-Pins has it all.

Famed for its glittering azure seascapes, Juan-les-Pins grew particularly popular during the inter-war years, when the likes of Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Charlie Chaplin and others flocked to the Cap d'Antibes for delectable cuisine, beautiful villas and glamorous parties galore. Today, you'll still find elegant architecture, lively restaurants, trendy casinos and hip bars spilling out onto the street. Other highlights include the striking Jardin de la Pinède, the Plage de Gallice and Plage Epi Hollywood. Sailing, kayaking, swimming, fishing and hiking or horse riding excursions are very special.

Take a boat trip to the gorgeous Île Saint-Honorat, off the coast of Cannes, or spend an afternoon discovering the 16th-century ramparts and mesmerising Musée Picasso in neighbouring Antibes. The annual Jazz à Juan Festival brings myriad international visitors to the town, so book well in advance to ensure a room at one of the best places to stay in Juan-les-Pins if you're travelling in July!
