Top 10 Properties with Sea Views on the French Riviera
Living by the coast is far more than a locational choice – it’s a lifestyle.
With its varied and extensive coastline, the French Riviera offers an unparalleled setting for those seeking the ultimate coastal living. At the heart of its enduring appeal are the breathtaking sea views, a defining feature of the region and one of the most desirable assets on this coveted stretch of coastline.
As seen in the selection of properties below, it is no surprise that many buyers prioritise properties with beautiful sea views, particularly on the French Riviera. According to our 2024 Prime Residential Research Report, these highly sought-after panoramas represent some of the most exclusive and desirable real estate in the area. In prime locations like Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, where supply is limited, such views take luxury living to a whole new level, often commanding a premium price.
The magic of the Riviera coastline is not confined to the water’s edge. Even inland properties benefit from panoramic vistas that stretch from the foothills of the Alps, across rolling hills, and towards the sparkling Mediterranean below. These elevated perspectives offer a unique blend of luxury and tranquillity.
Our collection of curated properties showcases some of the finest coastal views currently available on the market, ranging from elegant penthouse apartments in Cap d’Antibes to architect designed villas in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat. Each offer their own version of Riviera living, united by the timeless luxury of a sea view.
