Domaine de la Belle Étoile: A masterpiece of luxury on the Cap d'Antibes

A unique opportunity on the Cap d'Antibes

The Domaine de la Belle Étoile represents an extraordinary opportunity to acquire the largest newly built residential estate on the exclusive Cap d'Antibes. Formerly the tennis club of the Hôtel Provençal, this historic site has been transformed into a breathtaking modern villa, featuring exceptional leisure facilities, all set within 1.5 hectares of landscaped gardens offering breathtaking views over the Port de l’Olivette.

Cap d'Antibes: A sought-after location worldwide

Since the 1920s, the Cap d'Antibes has been a favored retreat for Americans (John Dos Passos, F. Scott Fitzgerald with Tender Is the Night and The Great Gatsby, Ernest and Hadley Hemingway, as well as the Murphys — an unconventional American couple, heirs to wealthy East Coast families, passionate about art and culture). This place has also inspired artists such as Pablo Picasso and Fernand Léger, French writers like Jean Cocteau and Raymond Radiguet, as well as composer Igor Stravinsky and ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev, founder of the Ballets Russes.

Today, the Cap d'Antibes retains its global prestige, remaining an ultra-exclusive and highly coveted destination. The timeless charm of this peninsula, its natural beauty, unique atmosphere, and prestigious villas make it a sought-after place for elites from around the world, offering an unparalleled combination of tranquility, luxury, and proximity to the most refined attractions of the French Riviera.

Exceptional luxury and design

Spanning nearly 1,490 sqm between the main villa and two guesthouses, the estate was completed following a three-year conversion project and is now available for sale for the very first time. Designed to offer absolute privacy and security, the Domaine de la Belle Étoile offers luxurious living spaces blending classic elegance with cutting-edge technology. The estate is ready for immediate occupation, with an interior designed by Casamanara (Monaco) and architecture by Atelier Baraness + Cawker.

The main villa: 'La Belle Étoile'

The main villa, 'La Belle Étoile', covers 1,320 sqm and is built from local stone. It stands out with its glass façade and colonnades, with vast living spaces opening onto covered terraces offering views over the estate. The villa includes five lounges, six suites, two kitchens, an office, a cinema room, a spa, a gym, and a games room, all equipped with air conditioning and Crestron automation.

Luxury amenities and entertainment spaces

The master suite, with its private terrace and luxurious bathrooms, occupies a dedicated wing on the top floor, while the garden level houses a spacious living room for family entertainment, a wellness spa, a professional chef's kitchen, and facilities for staff. The entire estate reflects elegance, from the spectacular entrance hall to the living spaces designed to host up to 200 guests.

Guesthouses: Villa Céleste and Villa Capella

The two guesthouses, Villa Céleste and Villa Capella, offer additional accommodation, each with a unique character and exceptional comfort. Villa Céleste, the former tennis club house, features high vaulted ceilings and elegant living spaces, while Villa Capella, a charming one-bedroom villa, offers panoramic views over the estate and the Mediterranean Sea.

Stunning gardens and an ideal location

Domaine de la Belle Étoile is nestled amidst stunning gardens, including a rose garden, an olive grove, a vineyard, and even a helipad (subject to permits). The estate is ideally located on the Cap d'Antibes, just minutes by car from the renowned Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc and the luxurious Port Vauban.
