Tucked just steps from the beach in Cannes’ Palm Beach neighbourhood, this elegant apartment places you in a prime spot along the Croisette. The interiors are sleek and contemporary, with spotless bedrooms and a breezy living space that opens out onto a generous sea-view terrace. There’s even a private sauna for a touch of spa-like indulgence. That said, there are a few things to keep in mind. While there’s no private parking, paid options are nearby. Plus, late check-ins incur a fee – but with the Med just moments from your door, we think it’s worth it.

Home truths:
*The sauna is a lovely extra, but may not be suitable for very young children and those with certain health conditions.
