‍Introduction

The French Riviera has long been associated with glamour, timeless elegance, and cinematic landscapes. But tucked away on a peninsula just outside of Nice, lies one of the most magical corners of the South of France, Cap Ferrat. This exclusive enclave is where natural beauty meets old-world refinement, and at the center of it all is the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, a Four Seasons Hotel.

As a travel advisor fortunate enough to experience some of the most exquisite resorts around the globe, I can say with certainty: this one is different. It's not just the views or the amenities, it’s the feeling you get the moment you arrive.

‍

Where is Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat?

Perched on the tip of the Cap Ferrat peninsula, the resort is surrounded on three sides by the glittering Mediterranean. Just twenty minutes from Nice and forty minutes from Monaco, it's a dream base for exploring the French Riviera. Whether you’re venturing to the medieval village of Èze, heading out for a day trip to St. Tropez, or sailing along the coast, you're perfectly positioned to soak in the Côte d'Azur at its best. 

What Makes Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat Special?

From the moment you step onto the grounds, everything feels intentional. Service is intuitive, elegant, and deeply personal, think staff remembering your name before you introduce yourself twice, and managers greeting you like old friends. The property itself is an oasis of serenity, surrounded by Jasmine flowers that perfume the air.

It’s this blend of natural beauty, regal architecture, and world-class hospitality that sets it apart. You don’t just stay here, your trip becomes an experience that feels timeless.

Arrival & First Impressions

The arrival is a sensory experience: towering pines, ocean breeze, and the unmistakable scent of jasmine. Twinkle lights line garden pathways, leading you into a property that feels like a classic film set. The staff greeted us with warmth and grace, setting the tone for what would become one of the most memorable stays. 

Accommodations at Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat

The highlight of our stay was the sea-facing suite with a private pool, this room was the definition of dreamlike. Sliding doors opening to a terrace that practically floats above the Mediterranean. Of course, there are a variety of accommodation options to best fit your trip needs, but this truly felt like waking up in paradise.

Other highlights included:

• A private plunge pool perfect for morning soaks
• Expansive marble bathroom with soaking tub
• Elegant yet cozy interiors that feel grand yet intimate
• Floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic sea views
• For families or groups, the resort’s villas offer a more residential feel, paired with full access to the hotel’s amenities: a best-of-both-worlds experience.
