These wave-shaped 1970s towers between Nice and Antibes are a Cote d'Azur architectural icon, and renting an apartment here gives a family real space: a lounge to spread out in after a long travel day, a kitchen for the kids' fussy dinners, and a lift straight down to the marina, the pool and a small beach. It suits families who want privacy and room to breathe over hotel service.
Our verdict
Choose this for space and independence rather than service: a real kitchen, a real lounge, and the marina, pool and a small beach all reachable without a car.
The rooms
Full apartments in the complex's four iconic curved towers, typically two bedrooms and two bathrooms with a proper kitchen and a balcony over the marina or the sea. Living space here beats almost any hotel room on this coast for a family of four.

Marina wander
Walk the pontoons among hundreds of yachts, an easy pram-friendly stroll with an ice cream stop.
Complex pool
The residents' pool is quieter than the beach and a short lift ride away, good for a lazy pool afternoon.
Marineland day trip
The Antibes marine park with orcas, dolphins and a water park is a short drive away, a full family day out.
Is it right for your kids?
Baby
0 to 1 yr
The kitchen and space make bottle routines and naps much easier than a standard hotel room, though the towers involve lifts and some walking to reach the beach.
Toddler
1 to 3 yrs
The residents' pool and the calm marina paths are easy to manage, keep a close eye near the water's edge at the port.
Kid
4 to 11 yrs
The pool, the marina and a nearby Marineland day trip give this age variety across a stay.
Teen
12 yrs and up
The marina's restaurants and boutiques and easy access to Nice and Antibes by car suit teens looking for more than the pool.

Parents also ask
Do all apartments here have the same quality?
No, these are individually owned apartments let through rental agencies, so check recent photos and reviews for the specific unit before booking.
Is the beach here good for children?
It is small and can get busy in summer, fine for a quick dip but many families prefer the calmer complex pool for most of the day.
Do we need a car?
Not for daily life, the marina has shops and restaurants, but a car helps for day trips to Nice, Antibes or Marineland.
