Our 10 favourite flats with sea views in Nice

Famous for its Promenade des Anglais and its mythical blue chairs, luxurious hotels, pebble beaches and ponchettes, Nice's seafront is a must-see on the Côte d'Azur. Several kilometres facing the Bay of Angels and its deep blue colours offer a remarkable number of accommodations with breathtaking views. Travellers on a budget should make the most of these views from the moment they wake up until the sun goes down. Many luxury hotels share the pavement of the Promenade des Anglais, with a few flats squeezed in between these comfortable establishments. Whether you're a couple or a family, for a night or a few days, admiring the waves of the Mediterranean from the windows of your room is one of Nice's perks you won't want to miss. Pack your bags and discover one of our favourite accommodations with a sea view.
