Investing in Cap d’Antibes: Exceptional Property on the French Riviera

Nestled between Nice and Cannes, away from the hustle and bustle of the French Riviera, Cap d’Antibes is one of the most sought-after areas on the Mediterranean. Every year, this exclusive peninsula, lined with turquoise blue coves and century-old pine trees, attracts clients from all over the world looking for exceptional properties. Buying a villa or apartment in Cap d’Antibes is much more than a real estate investment - it’s a choice to embrace a lifestyle known only to the French Riviera.

Why buy in Cap d’Antibes?

A historic holiday destination for the European and American aristocracy, Cap d’Antibes captivates with its understated elegance. Here, there is no flashy extravagance, but rather timeless luxury made up of Belle Époque mansions, private gardens, and views over the crystal-clear waters stretching from the Baie des Anges to the Estérel mountain range.

It is also a strategic address, situated just 25 minutes from Nice International Airport, 20 minutes from Cannes, and less than an hour from Monaco.

Cap d’Antibes benefits from carefully managed urban planning, with a very low population density: 394 inhabitants per square kilometre, one of the lowest on the French Riviera. This helps to explain the scarcity of available properties and guarantees the long-term stability of your assets. A property bought on the Cap doesn’t lose its value – it is passed down, protected, and highly sought after.

The property market in Cap d’Antibes in 2025

The property market remains robust despite the increasing scarcity of supply.

International demand remains strong, with buyers from Northern Europe, Switzerland and the USA making major purchases.

The most sought-after properties are located on the southern side of the peninsular, particularly in the ultra-exclusive Billionaires Bay, where waterfront properties with direct access to the water can exceed €50,000 per square metre.
