HÔTEL BELLES RIVES
The Art Deco palace overlooks the sea from its terrace, beach and from its private pontoon jutting into the waves.

In short, you get a taste of the local art de vivre without moderation. Unexpected. Belles Rives Beach with a large choice of sports, including water skiing from the pontoon. Head for the brand new Socca Bar after your exertions and savour the Nice speciality on beachfront sun loungers! We love the Saturday lunchtime Beach Party atmosphere and the irresistible Thursday evening White Nights...
