Annex Beach Cannes

Annex Beach sits on the Boulevard de la Croisette. A swimming pool runs parallel to the Mediterranean, providing a boundary between the sand and the restaurant.

While most of the Croisette is a blur of passing traffic and grand hotel facades, Annex Beach forces a pause. The house music stays at a volume that acknowledges the Mediterranean, a welcome shift from the frantic energy found at its closest competitors. You go here for the focus on the coastline, which feels shielded from the city’s usual noise. The French and Mediterranean seafood menu is an honest piece of the shore that makes the standard hotel-adjacent clubs feel like an afterthought.
