Between the sea and the pines, a confidential area where some of Europe’s most beautiful properties are hidden away
Cap d’Antibes: a living legend on the Côte d’Azur
There are places that are like nothing else. Places that, from the very first moment, impose their obviousness: silence, light, elegance. Cap d’Antibes is one of those rare places, steeped in history and legend, that has managed to preserve its authenticity while welcoming the best of modernity.
Since the 19th century, this natural promontory between Antibes and Juan-les-Pins has attracted artists, aristocrats, industrialists and lovers of timeless beauty. From Pablo Picasso to Elizabeth Taylor, from Scott Fitzgerald to today’s European high society, they have all come across this part of the Riviera, and often chosen to stay.
But unlike the big seaside resorts, Cape Town has never let itself be overrun. Today, it remains a haven of discretion, refinement and very high property standards.
An ultra-selective market, combining architectural heritage and contemporary design
The Cap d’Antibes property portfolio is as rich as it is varied, but it always follows the same exceptional logic.
You’ll find :
- Belle Époque villas, witnesses to the Riviera’s golden age
- Modernist residences with pure lines and spectacular volumes
- Ultra-contemporary architect-designed homes nestling between sea and vegetation
- Waterfront properties, the real Grail of Mediterranean real estate
They all have one thing in common: they are extremely rare on the market, as few new permits are issued, and resales are often made discreetly, outside the public market.
Why is Cap d’Antibes so attractive?
1. An ideal geographical location
Between Cannes and Nice, in the immediate vicinity of Sophia Antipolis, golf courses, two international airports and marinas, Le Cap offers easy access to major infrastructures without sacrificing tranquillity.
2. Incomparable privacy
Le Cap is a cocoon. Its narrow pine-lined lanes, its villas hidden behind landscaped gardens, its lack of large tourist complexes… everything here exudes tranquillity and privacy.
3. A solid heritage
For 50 years, Cape Town properties have maintained, and even increased, their value. In times of instability, they are seen as a safe haven for both living and investing.
4. An exceptional lifestyle
With its fine sandy beaches, wild coves, coastal paths, sunsets over the sea and mild climate, Cape Town offers a lifestyle that is unique in the world.
How do you recognise an exceptional property?

✅ Unobstructed sea view (often panoramic)
