The best adult-only hotels on the Côte d’Azur
Looking for a quiet, child-free holiday? Between the sea, the maquis and charming Provencal villages, these adult-only hotels on the Côte d’Azur promise a relaxing vacation punctuated by a dip in the pool, a stroll in the panoramic gardens and a romantic dinner on the terrace.
1. Villa Fabulite, Antibes
Set between the sea (just a hundred meters away) and pine forests, in a quiet side street on the tip of Cap d'Antibes, Villa Fabulite is built around a Mediterranean garden of lemon, orange and olive trees. Pure Provence! To preserve this calm and confidential setting, the 4-star hotel in Provence only accepts children aged 10 and over. Imagine lazing on one of the deckchairs lining the pool, surrounded by flowers and umbrella pines that seem to block out outside noise. In fine weather, the bar serves refreshing cocktails and iced teas.
In the mornings, before the summer mercury rises to 30°C, the terrace is the setting for a continental breakfast featuring traditional pastries, freshly squeezed juices, avocado toast, freshly prepared eggs and cereals. For lunch and dinner, Le Fab restaurant brings the garden to life. Each bite is an invitation to discover the flavors of the South, with colorful salads, ceviche, fresh fish and grilled seasonal vegetables.
Always with the ambition of offering travelers an intimate stay, the Côte d'Azur's adult-only hotel offers just 12 rooms with private terraces overlooking the sea or the fragrant gardens. The decor is classic and uncluttered, playing on shades of white and light yellow. Lamps like blooming flowers, small fish sculptures, bohemian bamboo chairs and plant-patterned tapestry anchor the keys in the poetic aura of the South of France. In the morning, you wake up to the sound of cicadas and birdsong. This authentic, Zen atmosphere is accentuated in the new spa, with its hammam, sauna and personalized treatments. While body and facial massages are always satisfying, lymphatic drainage is a real rejuvenating treatment. In short: a truly rejuvenating, sunny getaway for true epicureans.

2. Tiara Yaktsa Hotel, Théoule-sur-Mer
Nestled on a hillside in Théoule-sur-Mer, the 5-star Relais & Châteaux Tiara Yaktsa offers a timeless interlude between sea and mountains, magnified by a spectacular view of the Mediterranean. While the cascade of terraced gardens facing the sea diffuses the sweet scent of maquis, umbrella pines and sun-drenched flowers, the best spot to admire the view is the infinity pool. But also the terrace of the Michelin-starred restaurant L'Or Bleu, by M.O.F. Alain Montigny (whose mentors are none other than chefs Constant and Fréchon). The MoYa Beach Club, located at the Tiara Miramar 700 metres away, is also ideal for lunch on the beach. This sister hotel to the Tiara Yaktsa also offers a two-storey spa to complement the jacuzzi and massage cabin included in the property.
This adult-only boutique hotel on the Côte d'Azur has just 22 rooms strategically oriented towards the cobalt sea, the red rocks of the Estérel or the verdant cypress trees. Dressed in curtains, moucharabiehs, chiselled copper fixtures, Near Eastern rugs and golden fabrics, these keys express themselves in a style worthy of the Thousand & One Nights, all in a Provencal palace.

3. La Villa Sainte Valérie, Juan-les-Pins
The latest addition to the La Collection Hôtels La Villa group, which celebrates its 18th anniversary this year, this adult-only Côte d'Azur hotel welcomes travelers aged 16 and over, and houses 3 Provencal villas with 30 rooms, each named after a flower. Simple and friendly, these 4-star keys reflect the typical spirit of a southern family home. In the morning, you're gently awakened to a hearty buffet breakfast laid out on a large table, with fruit, juices, cheese and fresh bread.
The century-old garden, where mulberry trees and stone fountains interact, surrounds the heated swimming pool. In this peaceful Garden of Eden, relaxation is a matter of course, especially in the Jacuzzi, which is crowned by a canopy of foliage. And if the weather doesn't cooperate, the indoor bar welcomes guests until midnight in a chic vacation atmosphere.

4. La Villa Dune Hôtel & Spa Nuxe, Gassin
In the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, La Villa Dune stands like a Provencal house in a green oasis. There are no children around the pool here: this 4-star Côte d'Azur hotel is for adults only. So the atmosphere is relaxed and ultra-romantic when dining outside, with a simple menu featuring made-to-order club sandwiches, a variety of salads and dishes with an Italian accent, from pizzas to risottos.
La Villa Dune offers 19 rooms, in a rather hushed atmosphere with dark tones. Dark carpets and wooden furniture are combined with upholstered headboards and floral wallpaper on a black background. But the big plus point for couples, friends or solo travelers in search of plenitude remains the Nuxe spa. After a visit to the sauna, hammam and sensory pool, book a massage in a tropical setting on the terrace, where privacy is preserved by curtains. A moment of pampering punctuated by the song of cicadas and birds.

5. Hotel Le Saint Paul, Vence
Between the ramparts and cobbled streets of the small Provencal village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, west of Nice, a 16th-century Provencal bastide has been attracting travelers, aged 13 and over only, since 1989. Behind this stone façade lies Le Saint Paul, a 5-star Relais & Châteaux hotel. This bourgeois residence fuses its authentic style with modern works of art to enhance the overall ambience. Both restaurants are run by Mickael Berthiaud. Côté Terrasse is set in the heart of the ramparts of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, while Le Saint Paul focuses on delicate gourmet cuisine with local, southern flavors.
Private dining in the wine cellar is also available. The 16-key décor of this adult-only Côte d'Azur hotel is inspired by princely rooms, with fringed armchairs, baroque chests of drawers and canopied beds, and a boudoir feel that lends them a certain romanticism.
The suite to book? The charming Panoramique Suite, with its terrace overlooking the Vallée du Loup.
