ROYAL BEACH, private beach, Antibes, French Riviera
About the beach
This beach is the only private beach on the East side of the Cap d’Antibes. It is attached to the luxury Royal Beach Hotel, but it is also open to guests not staying at the resort. It is situated in a beautifully sunny spot in the town of Antibes and offers panoramic views over the sea towards the mountains in the distance. Sunbeds and deckchairs can be rented either on the sandy beach area or on a pier next to the bar area. There is a relaxed feeling to the beach, with cool lounge tunes playing at the bar, and expertly mixed cocktails at the ready. There are two restaurants onsite- the Café Royal and the Royal Beach Restaurant. Both offer an excellent quality of food and service, overseen by the superb in-house Italian chef. The proximity of this beach to the old town of Antibes means that the quaint marketplace and labyrinth of little shops and restaurants is a mere 10 minute walk away.

Attractions nearby
Antibes’ famous Picasso museum is only 5 minutes’ walk from the beach. This was the first museum in the world to be dedicated to the legendary artist, who personally donated many of his works to the collection. It is housed in the 16th century Chateau Grimaldi, and is located next to the beautiful central church of Antibes, which is also worth a visit. The church was first built in the 11th century, and in the 18th century its façade was replaced with the current unusual design.
The Fort Carré, dating back to 1550, is a prominent landmark on the Antibes backdrop, and boasts 360 degrees views along the Cote d’Azur.
The old town of Antibes, within close walking distance of the Royal beach, is a fantastic area to while away a few hours. A network of small streets and alleys is home to many charming shops and restaurants, where you can find traditional gifts and souvenirs or enjoy a café whilst watching the passers by. The covered Marché Provençale is a food lover’s paradise, with a multitude of stalls teeming with local produce, charcuterie, flowers and handicrafts.
One of the other great opportunities available in Antibes is to rent a boat for a day and tour the beautiful coastline.
