Why we picked this hotel
This is one of the rare Cannes hotels where the location and the interiors feel equally persuasive. You can walk into the old town, cross to the beach or stay inside and let the rooftop and spa become the entire plan.
Hotel description
Facing the Mediterranean at the foot of Le Suquet, Hôtel & Spa Belle Plage brings a quieter, more design-led mood to Cannes. Raphaël Navot’s interiors pair pale stone, terrazzo and sculptural furniture with the curved lines of the 1930s-inspired façade, while balconies look towards the sea, palm trees and the Estérel mountains. Breakfast and long Mediterranean lunches unfold on the rooftop before the day moves between Plage du Midi, the cobbled lanes of the old town and the hotel’s substantial spa inside a neighbouring villa. Return for sunset drinks above the bay or a treatment built around hot-and-cold bathing. It suits travellers who want the Riviera’s sea views and social rhythm without the scale or ceremony of Cannes’ grand palace hotels.

Hotel location
This is great
A Riviera classic, thoughtfully reimagined
Originally opened in 1930, Hôtel & Spa Belle Plage has been transformed into a contemporary five-star retreat by designer Raphael Navot, blending natural materials with sweeping Mediterranean views.
One of Cannes' best rooftop restaurants
Bella serves refined Mediterranean dishes with panoramic views over the Bay of Cannes and the Estérel mountains, while the rooftop bar is one of the city's favourite spots for sunset cocktails.
A spa worth planning time for
The 1,000 m² Villa Belle Plage offers a holistic wellness experience with a sauna, hammam, treatment rooms, fitness studio and thermal wellness circuit.
Beautiful rooms with a calming palette
Raphael Navot's interiors pair stone, wood and soft natural colours with floor-to-ceiling windows, creating bright rooms that feel quietly luxurious rather than flashy.
A quieter side of Cannes
Set beside the historic Le Suquet district and opposite Plage du Midi, the hotel is only a short walk from the Old Port and the Croisette while feeling removed from the crowds.
Our take on the stay
Come for the sea views, but leave time for the spa. It's every bit as memorable.

About the destination
Cannes, France
Cannes is known for its glamorous waterfront and grand boulevards, but beyond the famous Croisette you'll find colourful old streets, local markets, and a more relaxed Mediterranean rhythm. The historic Le Suquet district offers panoramic views, independent restaurants, and easy access to the city's beaches and harbour. Hôtel & Spa Belle Plage sits at the foot of this neighbourhood, combining a peaceful seafront setting with one of Cannes' most authentic locations.
