The seafront Promenade Maurice Rouvier threads east toward Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, past the Baie des Fourmis and Théodore Reinach's Villa Kérylos, while La Réserve sets the grand-hotel tone. Buyers tend to be discreet international owners drawn to Cap-Ferrat proximity without its exposure.

How to buy in Beaulieu-sur-Mer
Beaulieu-sur-Mer's sheltered microclimate and marina underpin steady demand for belle-époque waterfront apartments.
The process
- 1
Engage a Riviera advisor
Your agent curates on- and off-market villas and represents you through to signing — the off-market layer is where Cap-Ferrat and Saint-Tropez trophies trade.
- 2
Offer & compromis de vente
On agreement you sign a compromis (preliminary contract) with a deposit (commonly 5–10%); the buyer has a 10-day cooling-off right.
- 3
Notaire & due diligence
The notaire runs title, surveys (DDT diagnostics), planning and charge checks over roughly 8–12 weeks.
- 4
Structuring & funds
Decide on direct or SCI ownership, arrange financing, and budget the annual IFI wealth tax if net French real estate exceeds €1.3M.
- 5
Acte authentique
The final deed is signed before the notaire; the balance, duties and fees settle and possession transfers.
