Cannes. The name instantly evokes the Croisette, the Film Festival, yachts anchored off the Lérins Islands, and the legendary palace hotels that have shaped the city’s image for more than a century. Yet behind the excitement of its world-renowned events lies a luxury real estate market of exceptional depth and sophistication, driven by an international clientele seeking outstanding properties in one of the Mediterranean’s most desirable destinations. It is within this demanding market that Carlton International Cannes has been operating for more than thirty years — with the discretion, expertise, and international network that have established the group as a leading name in luxury real estate on the French Riviera. Meet our team, discover the region, and explore our exclusive selection of exceptional properties in Cannes and the surrounding areas.

Cannes and Its Property Market: Why This Address Remains a Global Benchmark
Cannes is far more than a festival city. It is one of the few destinations in the world where international prestige, the Mediterranean lifestyle, and the depth of a luxury real estate market come together with such remarkable consistency. The city hosts more than 50 international events every year — the Cannes Film Festival, MIPIM, MIPCOM, Cannes Lions, the Cannes Yachting Festival, and MAPIC — attracting a global clientele, many of whom eventually become buyers or property owners.
The Cannes luxury real estate market in 2025 continues to demonstrate remarkable stability at the very top end of the premium segment. The most sought-after districts — La Californie, Super-Cannes, and La Croix des Gardes — command prices ranging from €10,000 to €25,000 per square metre for panoramic sea-view villas. Along the Croisette, prestigious apartments on the upper floors with terraces and direct bay views typically achieve between €15,000 and €30,000 per square metre. These price levels reflect sustained international demand combined with a structurally limited supply, constrained both by the peninsula’s geography and by strict urban planning regulations that preserve the residential character of its most desirable neighbourhoods.
Beyond the figures, what truly distinguishes the Cannes market is its liquidity. Well-presented, accurately priced exceptional properties often find buyers within a matter of weeks — and sometimes even days. Thanks to its direct network of qualified clients across four continents, Carlton International is able to market its exclusive listings to a highly responsive international audience, providing a decisive advantage in a market where speed of execution can make all the difference.
The Prime Areas Covered by Carlton International Cannes
La Californie is Cannes’ most prestigious residential district. Its Belle Époque and contemporary villas, many featuring infinity pools and breathtaking 180-degree views over the Bay of Cannes and the Lérins Islands, represent the most sought-after segment of the local market. Transactions regularly exceed €5 million, with the most exceptional properties reaching €15–20 million. Perched above the city, Super-Cannes offers an equally prestigious yet more peaceful setting, with even more spectacular panoramic views over the Mediterranean and the Alpes-Maritimes.
Nestled between these two residential hillsides, La Croix des Gardes offers an exceptional collection of family villas and contemporary Provençal estates within secure private domains. This area is particularly popular with international families seeking privacy, security, and an outstanding quality of life. Le Cannet, located just outside Cannes, provides a more accessible market while offering many of the same advantages, including open views, tranquillity, and an excellent residential environment. Carlton International serves this area with the same level of expertise and attention as Cannes’ most prestigious addresses.
The Mougins area and the Cannes hinterland — including Mougins Country Club, Les Parcs de Mougins, and the hills surrounding Valbonne — are an integral part of the agency’s coverage. Located just 10 to 15 minutes from Cannes, these premium residential areas often offer properties of an even higher standard than those along the coastline: private estates with olive groves, architect-designed contemporary villas within secure gated communities, and charming Provençal bastides. Property prices are often 20% to 30% lower than comparable coastal properties.
- La Californie: Cannes’ most prestigious district, Belle Époque and contemporary villas, prices ranging from €5M to €20M
- Super-Cannes: Exclusive hillside location, panoramic Mediterranean and Alpine views, absolute tranquillity
- La Croix des Gardes: Secure private estates, ideal for families, contemporary villas in gated communities
- Le Cannet: More accessible market, exceptional quality of life, open views, outstanding value for money
- Mougins & Les Parcs de Mougins: Prestigious secure estates, attractive pricing compared with the coastline
- Cannes Hinterland: Character bastides, architect-designed villas, olive groves, just 10 minutes from Cannes
