Best luxury places to live by the sea – France
When you think of the good life, the South of France likely pops into your head. You can find anything and everything here, from Michelin-starred restaurants, decadent bakeries and premiere shopping to superyachts, world-renowned events and the most exciting nightlife you’ll ever experience. If you’re looking for a full-time home or a holiday property by the sea in the South of France, consider these five luxury homes.
Four-bedroom villa in Antibes

Upstairs, there are three additional bedrooms, each with a bathroom or shower. The property also has an independent apartment that’s perfect for guests.
Modern and sleek penthouse apartment in Cannes
Modern and sleek, this is exactly the type of penthouse apartment you’d expect to find in Cannes. Once belonging to fashion designer Francesco Smalto, contrasting neutrals create a contemporary space, and floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning, panoramic views of the Mediterranean. Three bedrooms have their own bathrooms and dressing rooms, and there’s also an independent studio. There’s tons of terrace space on the rooftop, which includes a summer kitchen and jacuzzi. The apartment complex also has golf practice, a pool and tennis, and it’s guarded around-the-clock.
Stunning house with sea views in Le Golfe Juan
With seven bedrooms and the pool area you’ve longed for, this seven-bedroom house in Golfe-Juan was renovated in 2008 and beautifully combines contemporary and traditional style.

In the main house, an elegant living area on the main floor opens onto a terrace with a jacuzzi and infinity pool. Take in views of the sea from the dining area, which also has a bar, fireplace and wine cellar.
Waterfront House in Saint Tropez
The outdoor areas of this waterfront home are so extensive and welcoming that you’ll want to spend more time there than inside – though the interior of the home is charming and inviting, too. There’s a sprawling pool and pool house area with the beach and sea as its backdrop, plus a partially-covered bar and billiards room. The property comes with direct access to Plage des Canoubiers, and you’ll be surrounded by oversized palm trees and casual walkways. This Saint-Tropez home has a total of five bedrooms, and the dining and lounge area has large, sliding windows that open directly onto the terrace.
