Hôtel & Spa Belle Plage
Hôtel & Spa Belle Plage reimagines Riviera glamour with a cool modernist twist. Designer Raphael Navot has transformed this 1930s seaside treasure into an artistic retreat where organic forms, warm lighting and bespoke details like woven headboards and terrazzo floors all work in unison, creating that lazy mediterranean feel. The rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of Mediterranean blue and Le Suquet’s terracotta charm, while Bella, the top-floor restaurant, entices with Israeli-inspired sharing plates and a crowd-pleasing pistachio cake. We recommend trying out relaxing in the city’s largest spa, complete with a Himalayan salt sauna and lush garden. Whether sipping cocktails with scalloped sea views or indulging in Eyal Shani’s creations, Belle Plage delivers a chic Cannes escape.

Mondrian Cannes
The Mondrian Cannes brings a fresh perspective to Riviera luxury with its reimagined 1960s design by French-Brazilian agency Triptyque. Tropical modernism meets Riviera charm in spaces that seamlessly blend interiors with a Mediterranean park overlooking the Croisette. Natural materials such as wood, marble and plant fibres create a refined, organic aesthetic, while fluid layouts and sinuous furniture echo the sea’s movements. The entrance, inspired by Rio de Janeiro’s Botanical Garden, sets the tone with its lush vitality and naturalist vision. The Mondrian Cannes offers a tranquil and luxurious retreat with effortless charm and a touch of Brazilian “bossa.”
