Best Cannes Hotels for Golf-Loving Families (2026)
5 family-friendly hotels with golf in Cannes . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Cannes is the rare Mediterranean city where you can play 18 holes in the morning and have the kids on the beach by lunch. The Riviera around Cannes packs in 12 golf courses within 30 minutes by car: Riviera Golf de Mandelieu (Old Course), Cannes Mougins, Royal Mougins, Saint-Donat. The five hotels below all have golf concierge desks, family rooms or interconnecting setups, and walking access to the beach. Most rate 8.2 or higher on Booking. We picked properties where the parent who isn't golfing has something to do with the kids, instead of being stuck poolside in a 30-degree afternoon.
Cannes outside film festival week is a working Riviera town, with a covered market on Rue Meynadier, a fishing port still landing local catch, and locals walking dogs along the Croisette at 8am. The high-luxury reputation hides a much more practical city: regular hotels, kid-priced ice cream, public beaches at La Bocca, and a real bus network. Families who think Cannes is too glossy are usually pleasantly surprised by Day 2.

Why Cannes Works as a Family Golf Base
Riviera Golf de Mandelieu is the obvious pick from Cannes for families, partly because its Old Course is one of the oldest in continental Europe and partly because the route there along the seafront is just 10 minutes from the Croisette. Cannes Mougins (former host of European Tour events) is 20 minutes inland and accepts visitor green fees with advance booking. Royal Mougins is the upmarket option, with on-site academy lessons that older kids can join. All three accept twilight rates after 4pm, which fits the family plan of golf-then-dinner.
The non-golfing parent's day in Cannes is the easy part. From any of these hotels you can walk to the Allées de la Liberté market, take the petit train around the old town, or jump a 12-minute boat to the Lérins Islands for a picnic on Sainte-Marguerite. Beach access is straightforward at the public stretch east of Port Canto. For wet days, the Cinéum Cannes complex on the western edge has a decent kids' programme and is a 7-minute taxi from most hotels listed here.
Parent's take
The realistic plan is alternate-morning tee times. Parent A plays Mandelieu Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday at 7:30am; Parent B handles breakfast, beach, and lunch with the kids. Parent B plays Wednesday and Friday afternoons. That gets each parent five rounds across a week without burning out either the marriage or the children. Don't try to play with kids tagging along under age 10 unless you're fine with caddie golf and crayons.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Cannes with golf, sorted by guest rating.
La Bastide de l'Oliveraie
La Californie
Wonderful
300 reviews
La Bastide de l'Oliveraie sits in La Californie neighbourhood, a 7-minute drive from Riviera Golf and 12 minutes from Cannes Mougins. The 4-star property has a full spa with summer kids' programme, an outdoor pool surrounded by olive trees, and family rooms in stone-walled buildings.
From
€299/night
Why families love La Bastide de l'Oliveraie
Bastide is the choice when both parents want to play. The spa runs supervised children's sessions during peak July and August, with art workshops and pool games, which means an early round followed by a late breakfast back at the hotel actually works. Parents return repeatedly and leave detailed reviews about which staff member runs the kids programme. The location is residential and quiet, but the city centre is 15 minutes by taxi at high-season prices.
Sun Riviera Hotel
City Centre
Excellent
300 reviews
Sun Riviera Hotel is a 4-star property on Rue d'Antibes in central Cannes, 10 minutes walk to the Croisette and 15 minutes by car to Riviera Golf de Mandelieu. The hotel has a heated outdoor pool, a garden, and family rooms with extra child beds available on request.
From
€263/night
Why families love Sun Riviera Hotel
Sun Riviera works for families who want to walk everywhere except golf. The Rue d'Antibes location puts you 5 minutes from kid-priced restaurants and the Lérins boat dock, while the courtyard pool is quiet enough to read poolside while one parent golfs. The downside is parking: street parking only, and golfers carrying clubs at 6:30am will appreciate the valet option at 25 euros a day. The breakfast is genuinely good, especially the local fruit selection.
Juliana Hotel Cannes
Pointe Croisette
Very Good
300 reviews
Juliana Hotel Cannes is a 4-star boutique property in Pointe Croisette, 2 minutes walk to the private beach clubs and 12 minutes to Riviera Golf de Mandelieu. Family rooms and connecting setups are available, and the hotel arranges golf tee times via concierge.
From
€327/night
Why families love Juliana Hotel Cannes
Juliana's draw is location: you can finish a round at Mandelieu by 12:30 and be on Plage du Midi with the kids by 1:15. The pool is small but heated, which matters in May and October. Family rooms work for a child up to about 10; older teens are happier in the connecting setup at considerably more cost. Concierge handles same-day tee bookings 70 percent of the time, which is unusual for a hotel without a course on site.
Hotel America
City Centre
Very Good
300 reviews
Hotel America is a 4-star boutique hotel in Cannes city centre, on Rue Notre Dame, 7 minutes walk to the Palais des Festivals and 18 minutes by car to Riviera Golf de Mandelieu. The hotel has connecting room options, and concierge arranges golf tee times and rentals.
From
€208/night
Why families love Hotel America
Hotel America is the smaller, quieter sibling to the bigger Croisette hotels. Connecting rooms work for families with kids 8 and up; younger children find the corridors a bit hotel-formal. The on-site bar has a decent kids menu in evenings, useful when one parent gets back late from a 9-hole twilight round. Concierge speaks four languages and books Cannes Mougins tee times reliably. No pool, which is the main reason to choose the others above.
Hôtel Château de la Tour Cannes
La Bocca
Very Good
300 reviews
Hôtel Château de la Tour Cannes is a 4-star property in La Bocca, a 10-minute drive west of central Cannes and 8 minutes from Riviera Golf de Mandelieu. The hotel offers family rooms, a large outdoor pool, gardens, and a babysitting service for parents heading to early tee times.
From
€167/night
Why families love Hôtel Château de la Tour Cannes
The Château de la Tour is the most golf-logistical of these hotels because it's close to Mandelieu without being in central Cannes. Parents praise the breakfast hours that start at 6:30am, useful for tee times before sun gets harsh. The pool grounds are large enough for kids to spread out, and the babysitting service is reliable enough to book a tee time and not stress. The 10-minute taxi to the Croisette is the trade-off: you don't walk to dinner.
💡Practical Golf-with-Kids Tips
- 1Book Riviera Golf de Mandelieu directly through their site, not a broker. The hotel concierge can help, but the online rate is typically 30 to 50 euros cheaper per round, and you can pre-book a buggy.
- 2Bring travel-size kids clubs only if your child is past stage one of lessons. Otherwise rent at the course; full sets for 8 to 14 year olds run around 25 euros for 18 holes and saves the airline overweight fees.
- 3Check whether your hotel offers golf storage. Several Cannes properties let you leave bags overnight in a secure lockup, which matters if you're playing different courses each day and using a rental car.
- 4Pack collared shirts for kids over 10 if they might play with you. Riviera Golf and Royal Mougins enforce dress codes including for juniors, and the pro shop polos cost 80 to 120 euros each.
- 5Avoid August for serious golf weeks. Tee times go to August regulars and members, courses close some afternoons for tournaments, and the post-round drive into Cannes traffic can hit 45 minutes.
