Transfer airport Nice to Antibes
Where ancient ramparts meet superyachts, where Picasso found his Mediterranean muse and jazz legends come to play — Antibes is the French Riviera at its most captivating. Just 23 kilometers from Nice Airport, this beautifully preserved walled town offers everything that draws visitors to the Côte d’Azur: crystalline waters, world-class art, glamorous ports, and that indefinable Mediterranean magic. Our private transfer delivers you from touchdown to paradise in just 20 minutes — the perfect introduction to one of France’s most enchanting destinations.
Gateway to the Cap: Your Riviera Arrival
The brief 23-kilometer drive from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport to Antibes follows the stunning coastline of the Baie des Anges, giving you your first glimpses of the Mediterranean that has captivated visitors for millennia. As we approach, the distinctive silhouette of the old town rises from the sea — stone ramparts unchanged since Vauban fortified them for Louis XIV four centuries ago.
Antibes occupies a privileged position on the Riviera: Nice lies 23 kilometers to the east, Cannes just 11 kilometers west. Many savvy travelers use Antibes as their base for exploring the entire coast — close enough to both major cities, yet possessing its own distinct character that neither can quite match. Here, genuine Provençal life continues beneath the tourist surface.

Discovering Antibes: Art, Yachts & Coastal Magic
Once our driver delivers you to this remarkable town, a world of experiences awaits. Antibes-Juan-les-Pins is actually three distinct personalities in one commune: the historic walled town of Antibes with its Picasso treasures, the glamorous marina of Port Vauban hosting the world’s largest yachts, and the Art Deco beach resort of Juan-les-Pins famous for its jazz festival. All are included in our Antibes transfer price.
Essential Antibes Experiences
⛵ Port Vauban & Billionaires’ Quay
Europe’s largest marina, home to some of the world’s most spectacular superyachts. Walk the Quai des Milliardaires where the biggest vessels moor — floating palaces worth hundreds of millions. We deliver passengers and crew directly to berths throughout the port.
🎨 Musée Picasso
Housed in the stunning Château Grimaldi where Picasso worked in 1946, this museum holds an exceptional collection of his paintings, drawings, and ceramics from that prolific period. The sea-view terrace alone is worth the visit — one of the most beautiful museum settings on the Mediterranean.
🏖️ Juan-les-Pins & Beaches
The Art Deco beach resort attached to Antibes, famous for its pine-shaded beaches and legendary Jazz à Juan festival each July. Fine sand, beach clubs, and a youthful energy that contrasts beautifully with the historic old town. Same price as Antibes — just tell us your hotel.
🌿 Cap d’Antibes
The exclusive peninsula stretching south of town, home to palatial villas, the legendary Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, and the stunning Sentier du Littoral coastal path. We serve all Cap d’Antibes addresses at the same Antibes price — from Garoupe beach to the Lighthouse point.
🏰 Old Town & Provençal Market
Wander the cobblestone streets where the medieval meets the Mediterranean. The Marché Provençal operates every morning (except Monday) under the covered hall — the finest produce, flowers, and local specialties. The cathedral, the ramparts, the sea views — authentic Provence by the sea.
🌊 Marineland & Aquasplash
For families, Marineland is Europe’s largest marine park. Adjacent water parks provide summer fun for all ages. We offer family-friendly transfers with child seats included free.
