The French Riviera, Privately and Without Compromise
The Côte d'Azur receives more sunshine hours than almost anywhere else in continental Europe — yet the truly privileged version of it is rarely seen from a hotel lobby. Pine-scented hillsides above Cannes, private moorings in Antibes, vine-covered terraces in Èze: these are pleasures reserved for those who know exactly what to ask for. Private Travel Club arranges every element — villa, yacht, helicopter, table — so that the Riviera you experience is personal, unhurried and entirely your own.
Plan your tripWhy Choose Private Travel Club for the French Riviera
We have spent years cultivating relationships with the Riviera's most discreet villa owners, the finest superyacht captains in Antibes, and the maîtres d' who keep the best tables for those they trust. There are no membership fees — only a genuine commitment to your preferences, available around the clock, every day of the year. Your itinerary is never templated. From a last-minute helicopter from Nice to a private terrace dinner above Monaco, every detail is handled with the quiet efficiency you would expect from a concierge who has been there many times.

What to See and Do on the French Riviera
Private Superyacht Charter from Antibes
Antibes harbour is one of the great superyacht capitals of the world, and departing from it on a vessel arranged entirely for you is a different proposition altogether. Spend a morning anchored in the crystal shallows off the Îles de Lérins, swim to a sandbar visible from no road, and lunch aboard as the chef prepares whatever was gathered at the market that morning. Afternoons can drift toward Saint-Tropez or the quieter anchorages of the Estérel coast. Your captain knows where the crowds do not go — and we know which captain to call.

Monaco Grand Prix in a Private Suite
The Monaco Grand Prix is one of the few sporting events where the spectacle extends far beyond the circuit. The narrowest streets in Formula One, the hairpin at the harbour, the tunnel exit — all of it best appreciated from a position that is genuinely elevated. We arrange exclusive hospitality suites, private terraces overlooking the circuit, and yacht berths in Port Hercule so you watch the race from the water with a Champagne in hand. Transfers by helicopter from the Côte d'Azur, paddock access coordination, private dinners with the principality's best tables — all managed for you.

Michelin Dining and Private Cellar Experiences in Cannes
The stretch between Cannes and Menton contains a concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants per kilometre that rivals anywhere in France. We go further than a reservation: private tasting menus prepared exclusively for your party, kitchen tours with chefs who do not routinely open their doors, and cellar visits in the Bellet vineyards above Nice — an appellation so small it is rarely encountered outside the region itself. A private sommelier can accompany your evening, or we arrange for a master of wine to lead a focused tasting in the privacy of your villa. Every meal is a considered event, not a booking.

Helicopter Transfers Across the Côte d'Azur
The French Riviera is at its most beautiful from 500 metres — and most efficiently navigated that way too. A helicopter from Nice to Saint-Tropez takes twelve minutes and removes entirely the summer road congestion that can turn a twenty-kilometre journey into two hours. We arrange on-demand flights departing from helipads at Nice Côte d'Azur, Cannes Mandelieu, and private estates, with consistent crews who understand that punctuality and discretion are not optional. The same aircraft can connect you to Monaco, the Italian border, or a yacht anchored offshore. It is the only honest way to move along this coast in July and August.

Exclusive Villa Life in the Hinterland of Grasse
Behind the coastal ribbon of hotels and beach clubs lies a different Riviera entirely — stone bastides set among lavender fields and olive groves above Grasse, the perfume capital of the world. Villas here offer swimming pools without the crowds, terraces with panoramic views from the Alps to the sea, and a silence that the coast simply cannot provide. We source properties that are not available on booking platforms: estates managed by their owners, staffed by long-standing housekeepers, with wine cellars and kitchen gardens already stocked to your specification. Grasse itself offers private perfume atelier experiences, creating a bespoke scent under a master perfumer.

Cannes and the Esterel Coast
Cannes is the most internationally fluent stretch of the Riviera — the Film Festival, the Croisette, the islands offshore — but its real pleasures are more private than the red carpet suggests. The Estérel massif to the west offers dramatic red-rock coastline largely untouched by development. Yacht anchorages here are genuinely secluded, accessible only by sea. The town itself rewards those with the right introductions: private beach clubs, invitation-only casino rooms, and villas in the hills above La Californie with views that justify every euro of their asking price.

Monaco and Cap Ferrat
Monaco is not merely a city-state — it is a way of operating, where discretion is constitutional and the infrastructure for private travel is unsurpassed. Cap Ferrat, the peninsula immediately east, is where the true estates sit: walled, gardened, and almost entirely absent from the internet. Somerset Maugham called it a sunny place for shady people; today it remains a haven for those who prefer their privacy guaranteed by geography as much as by gates. The Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc nearby sets the benchmark against which all other Riviera hospitality is measured.

Saint-Tropez and the Gulf of Saint-Tropez
Saint-Tropez retains something that most of the Riviera has surrendered: the feeling, on the right morning in the right light, that the world has not entirely caught up yet. The village itself is best seen at six in the morning or late September, when the crowds thin and the quality of the light becomes extraordinary. The Gulf provides some of the finest sailing water on the Mediterranean, and the villas on the Ramatuelle peninsula — hidden behind vineyards — represent the quiet summit of what this coast offers to those who know where to look.
