Hotel Belles Rives stands directly on the Mediterranean at Cap d’Antibes, beside Port Gallice, an Art Deco building run by the same family since 1929 and once home to F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. There are 43 individually decorated rooms and suites, all with sea or garden views and balconies, up to the sea-view Zelda Suite. Dining is led by La Passagere, the Michelin-starred gastronomic restaurant with a restored Art Deco room and a terrace over the Lerins islands, with La Plage on the private beach and the historic Fitzgerald Piano Bar, a member of the Historic Cafes of Europe. Wellness runs through a Valmont beauty corner, with complimentary access to the heated pool and health club at sister hotel Juana a few steps away. The private beach has huts, a solarium and a pontoon with its own landing stage, and the hotel runs a celebrated water-skiing club in the bay where the sport was born. A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, it suits couples and design and heritage lovers who want intimate, family-run Art Deco luxury with fine dining and a private beach.
