Tiara Miramar Beach Hotel & Spa

Sitting on the hillside above its own private beach in Theoule-sur-Mer, Tiara Miramar Beach Hotel & Spa is located in an enviable seaside location in the Cote d'Azur (aka the French Riviera). Just half an hour from Cannes, guests will be impressed by the superb views and attention to detail throughout this family-friendly hotel.

A paradise for foodies, the property has a fantastic choice of restaurants. Bistro M serves a mixture of southern French cuisine fused with Asian and Spanish flavours. Crushed velvet and dark wood create a cosy and relaxing atmosphere, and there are the rather lovely sea views to admire as well.

Beachside Moya is accessible by boat and open for breakfast, lunch and dinner; grab a table under the shade of the pergola and umbrellas and enjoy a relaxed buffet-style BBQ dining experience. Next door in the sea-facing bar, take your pick from the cocktail menu while the DJ spins some tunes.

If it's tea and cake or a game of cards you're after then head to the circular-shaped Lounge, with windows opening out to the bay. Take some shelter from the sun and head to the Beach Bar for a refreshing cocktail or mocktail. During the summer months, the house DJ's selection of music starts when the Beach Bar lights up when you can choose to sit back and relax or have a bit of a dance.

And just a 5-minute complimentary shuttle away is Relais & Chateaux's L'Or Bleu, the gourmet restaurant at the neighbouring sister property Tiara Yaktsa – ideal for romancing your loved one, or a meal with family and friends.

If you prefer to stay in you can always order room service or breakfast to you room.

The Asian- and Mediterranean-inspired rooms and suites have access to the private beach and spa by lift; all have Italian showers, LED TV, minibars and are air-conditioned. Some have hillside or garden views and large bay windows, other boast sea vistas and a terrace or balcony. And if you really want to push the boat out, there's the 3-bed Villa Azur: a contemporary oasis spread over two floors, with three terraces, a Jacuzzi, a lounge, dining room, and kitchen area – perfect for friends and family.

Soak up the views from the heated pool or private beach on a daybed or lounge chair, or head to the split-level spa for  treatment or two. There's also a fully-equipped Technogym fitness room if you don't want to break your fitness routine, and a tennis court to keep your game up to scratch. Watersport activities include kayaking, canoeing, diving, paddle boarding, and jet skiing.

Out and about, the hotel is less than a 10-minute drive from the fishing village of Théoule-sur-Mer, half an hour from the glitz of Cannes, 45 minutes from the cobbled streets of Nice, and just over an hour from glamorous Saint-Tropez.

Exit Nice airport and take Highway A8 in the direction of Cannes-Aix en Provence. From the motorway: take exit 40 – Mandelieu Center La Napoule Theoule sur mer – continue on the N98 towards Theoule for 6 kilometres, and the hotel will be on your left.
