Best Luxury Hotels in Juan-les-Pins

Located by the beautiful blue waters of the Côte d’Azur, Hôtel Belles Rives was and still is one of the Riviera’s most historic and romantic addresses. Once a private villa rented by F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald in the mid-1920s (and the place where the author began Tender is the Night) it reopened in 1929 as a hotel and remains family owned. The boutique hotel comprises 43 individually designed rooms with an art deco vibe flowing throughout the property. The hotel’s private beach, jetty and Water Sports Club offer guests plenty of space to relax with loungers and beach huts available to hire whilst water skiing, pedalos, paddleboards and banana boats will appeal to those seeking something more active. Guests also have access to fitness facilities and a swimming pool at sister property Hôtel Juana, just 200 metres away.

Waterside dining can be enjoyed at Plage Belles Rives which serves light and delicious Provencal cuisine and La Passagère is the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant led by culinary maestro Aurélien Véquaud. For something more relaxed, lunches and classic cocktails can be found at the newly renovated Bar Fitzgerald, named after the property’s former resident.

We suggest heading to the hotel’s Beauty Corner For the ultimate in pampering where personalised treatments designed in partnership with Swiss anti-aging expert, Valmont and organic skincare brand La Canopée will leave guests feeling beautifully revived.
The hotel is a short stroll from the centre of Juan-les-Pins, with a good choice of restaurants, bars and of course the summer jazz festival and is approx. 25 minutes by car from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport.
