Nice Airport to Antibes Transfer Guide
Nice Airport to Antibes and Juan-les-Pins by private chauffeur — the short route, journey time, prices, yachting tips and what to expect on arrival.
Antibes is one of the closest and easiest transfers from Nice Côte d'Azur Airport — about 20 kilometres west, or 20 to 25 minutes by road. It is also a favourite of the yachting world, home to Port Vauban and its superyachts. Whether you are heading for the old town, a villa on Cap d'Antibes or a boat on the quay, here is how the Nice Airport to Antibes transfer works.
How far is Antibes from Nice Airport?
Antibes is roughly 20 km west of Nice Airport. In normal traffic the drive is a quick 20 to 25 minutes on the A8 or the coastal road, one of the shortest chauffeur transfers on this part of the Riviera.
The neighbouring resort of Juan-les-Pins and the exclusive Cap d'Antibes are a few minutes further. A chauffeur takes you door to door to any of them without the parking headaches of the old town.
- Distance: about 20 km by road, west of the airport
- Journey time: 20–25 minutes in normal traffic
- Covers Antibes, Juan-les-Pins and Cap d'Antibes
- Routes: the A8 motorway or the scenic coastal road
Arriving for the yachts at Port Vauban
Antibes is a capital of the superyacht world. Port Vauban is one of the largest marinas in the Mediterranean, and its Quai des Milliardaires hosts some of the biggest yachts afloat. Crew, guests and owners move through Nice Airport constantly.
For a yacht arrival, a chauffeur brings you straight to the quay with your luggage, and can coordinate crew transfers, provisioning runs and guest pickups throughout your stay.
- Direct drop-off at Port Vauban and the Quai des Milliardaires
- Guest, owner and crew transfers to and from the airport
- Discreet service for private arrivals
- Easy to combine with onward transfers along the coast
Why book a private chauffeur to Antibes
Antibes' old town is a maze of narrow, pedestrianised streets where parking is scarce and taxis are not always waiting. A private chauffeur skips all of that: your driver meets you at the airport and delivers you to the door.
It is the same calm, fixed-price arrival whether you are staying at the legendary Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on the Cap, a villa in the pine woods, or a townhouse inside the ramparts.
- Meet-and-greet in the arrivals hall with a name sign
- Flight tracking and a complimentary waiting window
- Door-to-door to hotels, villas or the marina
- Fixed price agreed in advance

What to expect on arrival
Your chauffeur checks the terminal from your flight and meets you in arrivals, then it is a short ride west to Antibes. Drop-off can be the old town, a Cap d'Antibes estate, a Juan-les-Pins beachfront hotel or the marina.
Because the trip is so short, Antibes also pairs well with a wider day of chauffeur hire — a morning transfer followed by lunch in the old town and an afternoon along the coast.
