Cap d'Antibes
Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, Billionaires' Bay and the calmest sheltered coves within reach of Cannes.
The legendary cape
The Cap d'Antibes is the green, villa-crowned headland between Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, home to the storied Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc. Its sheltered eastern coves — including the famous Billionaires' Bay — offer some of the calmest, clearest anchorages near Cannes, protected from the prevailing wind.
For a yacht it is a perfect lunch-and-swim stop: drop anchor off the pines, watch the great villas through the trees, and enjoy water that stays glassy when other anchorages chop up. A few minutes from Antibes and a short run from the Bay of Cannes, it is a Riviera classic for good reason.
The cape's eastern coves hold their calm when the mistral stirs the open sea, which is why captains know it as a dependable lunch anchorage. From Cannes it is a short, scenic run past Golfe-Juan — an easy half-day that feels far more exclusive than the distance suggests.
