Holiday Rental in Antibes and Juan-les-Pins: The Complete Guide

2026-08-19|6 min read|Destinations

Antibes: The Hidden Gem of the French Riviera

Antibes is often underestimated compared to Nice or Cannes, but that's precisely what makes it an opportunity. The city attracts a loyal clientele who return every year: families, couples, active retirees. Old Antibes with its ramparts, Provençal market and Picasso Museum offers an authentic, highly sought-after setting. Rates are slightly lower than Nice but occupancy is excellent (65–80% annually).

Juan-les-Pins: The Ultimate Beach Resort

Juan-les-Pins means beaches, seafront restaurants and Jazz à Juan. Demand is heavily concentrated in peak season (June–September) with high rates. A seafront studio can rent for €100–150/night in July–August. Off-season, demand drops but remains present thanks to Antibes conferences and the Sophia Antipolis business clientele — Europe's largest technology park.

Sophia Antipolis: The Differentiating Factor

Sophia Antipolis, 15 minutes from Antibes, hosts 2,500 companies and 40,000 employees. This proximity generates regular demand for short and medium-term rentals from consultants, interns and business travellers. This professional clientele books off-season, perfectly complements the summer tourist calendar, and accepts good rates for 1–3 month stays.
