What Oliver Loves
The contrast between Riviera sophistication and simple pleasures – morning swims in clear Mediterranean waters followed by lazy lunches in shaded old-town squares.
Villas in Cannes
Find Your Extraordinary
Villa in Cannes
Cannes is Riviera glamour distilled – a palm-lined promenade, golden beaches and hillside villas overlooking the glittering Mediterranean. Beyond the famous Croisette and its world-renowned film festival, you’ll find charming old-town streets in Le Suquet, island escapes just offshore and Provençal markets brimming with colour. This is a destination that balances polish with authenticity, where mornings begin by the sea and evenings unfold over long dinners on sun-warmed terraces.
Explore our curated collection of villas in Cannes, including elegant villas with pools, celebration-ready homes for special occasions and spacious family villas ideal for group getaways. You can also discover more across the French Riviera (Côte d’Azur) and wider South of France portfolio for a multi-stop Mediterranean escape.

Why visit Cannes?
Cannes has long drawn artists, aristocrats and filmmakers to its luminous shores. The Mediterranean light is unmistakable – bright, flattering and endlessly photogenic – reflecting off Belle Époque façades and luxury yachts in the harbour. While the annual film festival brings international attention, the town’s appeal extends far beyond red carpets.
Spend mornings wandering through Le Suquet’s winding streets, afternoons on the sands of Plage de la Bocca or taking a short boat trip to the tranquil Îles de Lérins. Inland, the hills are scattered with olive groves and perfumeries, while nearby towns such as Antibes and Mougins offer galleries, markets and exceptional dining.
Food is central to life here – from waterfront seafood restaurants to Michelin–starred establishments tucked into quiet courtyards. Staying in a private villa allows you to enjoy Cannes with space and discretion – perhaps a sunset swim in your own pool before heading into town, or a chef-prepared dinner on the terrace overlooking the bay.
