elenaagueeva.com › Riviera Intelligence › Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat
One road in, 562 berths, and twelve years of recorded villa sales second only to Saint-Tropez: Cap Ferrat is where the Riviera's discretion trades at its highest prices — the peninsula of Les Cèdres' €200 million record, of estates that never reach a portal, and of a village that polices its single entrance. This dossier publishes the commune's official DVF analytics and the documented story of the cape, every fact carrying its source.
Market data
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat recorded 178 villa sales at €3M or above over 2014–2025 — €2.38 billion in total, at a twelve-year median of €6.5M (DVF, each sale counted once). Only Saint-Tropez has recorded more €3M+ villa value on the Riviera over the twelve years.

The place, documented
A Cap-Ferrat closing on the Chemin du Sémaphore — €4.5M, register-confirmed
In June 2023, Elena Agueeva closed the sale of a property on the Chemin du Sémaphore — the lane that climbs toward the peninsula's old signal station above Villa du Parc — at €4,500,000, a transaction confirmed in the state's DVF register to the day. On Cap-Ferrat, where the register shows only a thin file of arm's-length sales in any year and the largest estates change hands off-register through share deals, a documented mid-market closing is itself a credential: it is the segment where international buyers most often enter the peninsula, and where local execution — notaires, servitudes, the cap's singular planning regime — decides whether a deal closes at all.

Le Cap: Cap-Ferrat's one-star dinner, 38 covers, season ends October 24
Le Cap, the fine-dining room of the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat (Four Seasons), holds one star in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide France, with Yoric Tièche — executive chef since 2017 — reworking Provençal classics with produce from the hotel's own gardens. It operates as a true season: dinner only, Tuesday to Saturday, from 7 April through 24 October 2026, with roughly 38 covers under the Aleppo pines. A starred table folded inside a private estate at the tip of the peninsula, it lets guests dine at guide level without ever leaving the property's grounds.

Paloma Beach, 1948–2026: the Vannini dynasty closes the cape's most famous beach club
Opened in 1948 on the Anse de la Scaletta and named after Pablo Picasso's daughter Paloma, Paloma Beach was run for more than 70 years and three generations by the Vannini family under France's coastal-concession regime, drawing a register that ran from Winston Churchill to Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Elton John. The club could not open for the 2025 season because of cliff-reinforcement works above the Scaletta beach, and its structure was dismantled; on 4 March 2026 the family announced it would not reopen: "it is with great emotion that we announce that Paloma Beach will not be reopening its doors." The underlying Plage de la Scaletta remains freely accessible to the public, and no successor operator has been named — the Vanninis continue to run Baia Bella in Beaulieu-sur-Mer and Espuma in Villefranche.

Cap Ferrat's quiet register
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat ranks second on the entire Riviera for €3M+ villa value traded, and a further layer above that never appears in any listing. On a peninsula of a few hundred villas, a private mandate described in public identifies its owner — so Elena Agueeva Real Estate publishes nothing about the files it holds there. The recorded market is published in full instead, in the Cap-Ferrat analytics on this site.

The billionaires' peninsula by the numbers: 80% second homes, up to €60,000/m²
A November 2024 investigation by L'Observateur de Monaco titled 'Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat: la péninsule des milliardaires' quantifies the cape's enclave economics. The commune counts roughly 1,400 year-round residents, and per the magazine, around 80% of its housing is secondary residence, with the cape's 500-plus villas said to account for roughly 80% of the real-estate stock — a figure that reflects the villas' outsized share of value rather than of dwelling count, since INSEE's own tally of the commune's roughly 2,080 dwellings puts the secondary-residence share nearer 62%. The 2024 average price stood at €15,819 per square metre, but the figure conceals the real hierarchy: on Pointe Saint-Hospice and the cape proper, values run €15,000–30,000/m², with the finest prestige villas trading at up to €60,000/m² — while even a 50 m² village-centre apartment was listed at €650,000. Buyers, the magazine reports, are ultra-high-net-worth individuals from Europe, the United States, the Middle East and Asia, with trophy anchors such as the Académie-owned Villa Ephrussi and the €200-million-plus Les Cèdres sale defining the market's ceiling. The village, in effect, is a hamlet wrapped around a portfolio.

Villa Ephrussi's 2026 season: candlelit Nocturnes and the 15th Roses & Plants Festival
Culturespaces-run Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild — Béatrice de Rothschild's 1905–1912 palace and its nine themed gardens — is the peninsula's public stage. The Nocturnes de la Villa return for a fourth edition from 13 July to 25 August 2026: every Monday and Tuesday, 8 p.m. to midnight, 14 live performances by candlelight (Malandain Ballet Biarritz, the Amazing Keystone Big Band, Lynda Lemay), tickets from €40. The season opened with the 15th Roses & Plants Festival on 2–3 May 2026 in the French garden.

Les Estivales du Port 2026: 'pianO du lac' concerts on a piano floating in the harbour
From 27 June to 29 July 2026, the Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur stages Les Estivales on the Quai Virgile Allari — free open-air spectacles on a harbour better known for superyachts. The centrepiece is 'pianO du lac': four concerts performed on a piano literally floating on the water of the port, including Simon Fache (1 July), a 'notes de comptoir' programme (8 July) and the lyric Duo Movere, alongside two street-circus parades. Every performance is free — a populist counterpoint that says something about the commune's civic register: the cape may hold some of Europe's most private addresses, but its village port still programmes its summer for everyone.

Le Spa at the Grand-Hôtel adds sea-view wellness cabanas and AI Pilates (2025)
The Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat's 750 m² Le Spa, designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon with nine treatment pavilions, expanded in 2025 with three sea-view wellness cabanas set in the Mediterranean spa gardens. New kit includes dry-flotation therapy, an AI-powered Reformer Pilates machine and full-body red-light therapy, alongside treatment lines from Biologique Recherche, Dr Burgener and Sodashi. The spa is open to non-resident guests, with seasonal memberships — a rare open door into the peninsula's most guarded address.

Port de Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat today: 562 berths plus one 50-metre superyacht post
The port authority (Ports d'Azur, Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur network) lists the harbour at 562 berths plus a single 50-metre berth in the outer harbour — the cape's only true superyacht post — with draughts of 3 metres along the main jetty and 4 metres in the avant-port. The capitainerie on Quai Virgile Allari receives vessels 24 hours a day, seven days a week on VHF channel 9, under round-the-clock video surveillance. Pontoons carry fresh water and 220/380 V power (30 A, rising to 50 A on the quays), and the port maintains two public careening areas, one operated by the Chantier Naval Saint-Jean and one by the port office, alongside shipchandler services — a working harbour scaled deliberately below its Beaulieu and Nice neighbours.

The sentier du littoral, graded: 1.3 km Rouvier promenade, 1.8 km Saint-Hospice loop, 4.8 km Tour du Cap
The commune's tourist office grades three coastal walks. The Promenade Maurice Rouvier (1.3 km, ~20 minutes, fully paved, no stairs) runs from opposite the town hall to Beaulieu-sur-Mer and is accessible to strollers and reduced-mobility visitors. The Pointe Saint-Hospice loop (1.8 km, 40 minutes) leaves the Jardin de la Paix past six coastal-heritage interpretation stations; the Edmund Davis traverse climbs about 100 metres to the Saint-Hospice chapel, its 1903 bronze Virgin, the Belgian military cemetery and the marine cemetery. The full Tour du Cap-Ferrat (4.8 km, 1h30, from the Chemin de la Carrière) passes the Grand-Hôtel and its seawater pool, the lighthouse and Pointe Malalongue to Passable beach — rated unsuitable for vertigo sufferers, and rerouted via the Chemin du Roy during the 2023–24 Lido cliff-stabilisation works.

Seven minutes to the airport: the Monaco heliport shuttle
The fastest fixed link between the cape and Nice-Cote d'Azur airport runs through Monaco's Fontvieille heliport, 12 km east of the village. Monacair's regular line covers Nice airport to Monaco in approximately 7 minutes, with rotations every 30 minutes from 8:15 a.m. out of Nice (8:00 a.m. from Monaco) until the last flight before nightfall. Fares start at 195 euros per passenger and include drop-off and pick-up within Monaco aboard latest-generation electric EQV vans, plus fast check-in with direct delivery to the boarding area for passengers travelling with carry-on luggage. For a Cap-Ferrat household, the practical arithmetic is a short car run along the Basse Corniche to Fontvieille followed by a seven-minute hop - bypassing the A8 and the coast road entirely at peak season.

A five-class village school, then the intercommunal college in Beaulieu
Schooling on the cape itself is deliberately village-scale. The communal primary, 'Mon Ecole' at 23 avenue Denis Semeria, runs two maternelle and five elementary classes (about 145 pupils in 2022-23), with hours of 8:30-12:00 and 14:00-16:30 four days a week. The canteen is managed jointly by the mairie and the SIVOM of Villefranche-sur-Mer, with meal components sourced from organic agriculture, and a municipal recreation centre takes pupils on Wednesday afternoons and school holidays for aquatic, cultural and outdoor activities; enrolment is handled directly by the town hall. For secondary school, the peninsula's children cross to the intercommunal College Jean Cocteau in adjoining Beaulieu-sur-Mer, open since 1974 and serving the six communes of the Villefranche canton. Families seeking international curricula look to Monaco or Nice, both within a 20-minute radius.

La Voile d'Or: closed, permitted for demolition, reopening set for 2029
La Voile d'Or, the 1925 hotel above the harbour on avenue Jean Mermoz, no longer trades. The permit filed by SAS La Voile d'Or covers demolition of the hotel, its podium, the caretaker's villa and the Villa Ave Maria. In their place comes a five-star house of 24 suites, a second villa in hotel use, a treatment and fitness centre, boutiques and a 72-space underground car park, with site access taken from the sea so that demolition lorries stay off the port. Wainbridge Estates runs the development. In April 2025 the Swiss group Grand Metropolitan took the Voile d'Or brand, its intellectual property and the management contracts, and holds the development mission without owning the land. Reopening is set for 2029, and the same April 2025 trade report records that the works announced in 2021 had still not begun.

Villa La Mauresque: Leopold II's chaplain, then Somerset Maugham's stage
The state heritage inventory records that around 1900 Monseigneur Charmettant — a former missionary and chaplain to King Leopold II of Belgium — bought a 40,000 m² parcel on the newly subdivided cape and built a Moorish-style villa; only an outbuilding with horseshoe-arched windows survives from that first campaign. The English writer Somerset Maugham purchased the property in 1927, renamed it La Mauresque, and gave the young American architect Barry Dierks what the inventory calls his first commission: Dierks stripped out the Arab décor, simplified the façades, classicised the patio and reorganised the grounds with an orange-tree terrace, garden room, swimming pool and tennis court. Because Dierks then lacked French credentials, the post-war restoration plans he drew were officially signed by Henri Delmotte. In 1967 the villa's American owner, Lynn Wyatt, brought in Marcel Guilgot to redo the interiors and façades in classical taste.

Pointe Saint-Hospice: hermit's cape, 11.40 m bronze Virgin and a Belgian war cemetery
The eastern lobe of the peninsula, Pointe Saint-Hospice, is a classified site and the cape's oldest sacred ground: the Saint-Hospice chapel was built in the 11th century on the ruins of an earlier sanctuary honoring the 6th-century hermit who gave the point its name. Beside it stands an 11.40-metre bronze statue of the Virgin, erected in 1903 at the request of a wealthy Nice merchant, and below the chapel lies a Belgian military cemetery for soldiers of the First World War who died at Villa Les Cedres — the royal estate having served the Belgian war effort. The communal cimetiere marin overlooking the sea was created in 1905. An interpretation trail with six observation stations loops through maritime pines and spray-eroded limestone, about twenty minutes' walk round-trip on the commune's sentier du littoral.

2023 vintage: first population uptick since 2006, as the second-home share pushes past 64%
INSEE's comparateur de territoires, updated to the 2023 census vintage (legal populations in force from January 2026), records 1,531 municipal inhabitants — up from 1,476 in the 2022 vintage, the commune's first increase since the 2006 census — on a density of 617.3 inhabitants per km². The smoothed 2017–2023 trend is still negative at −0.5% a year (−0.4 natural balance, −0.1 net migration), and the seasonal tilt keeps deepening: the 2023 reading puts résidences secondaires et logements occasionnels at 64.1% of 2,153 dwellings, with principal residences at 34.5% and 742 resident households. Median disposable income per consumption unit stands at €28,120 (2023).

Selected rankings
The peninsula's tables — Michelin 2026 and the register of record
Le Cap, the fine-dining room of the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat (Four Seasons), holds the peninsula's one Michelin star in the 2026 Guide — Yoric Tièche's thirty-eight covers under the Aleppo pines, dinner only, run as a true season from 7 April to 24 October. It is now the cape's only starred table, and the two landmark addresses beside it have stopped trading. La Voile d'Or, Captain Powell's 1925 house above the yacht basin, no longer operates: its permit covers demolition and a five-star rebuild of 24 suites, with reopening set for 2029. Paloma Beach, opened 1948 on the Anse de la Scaletta and named after Picasso's daughter, closed for good in March 2026 after three generations of Vannini tenure; the Plage de la Scaletta itself stays open to the public.

Questions, answered
How many €3M+ villa sales in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat over 2014–2025?
178 sales totalling €2,375 million over 2014–2025, at a median of €6.5 million (DVF, each sale counted once).
Which commune leads the zone?
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, with 178 recorded €3M+ villa sales over the twelve years (total €2,375 million, median €6.5 million — DVF).
Do you need a realtor for off-market deals on Cap-Ferrat?
Effectively, yes. On Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat's peninsula of only a few hundred villas, a private mandate described publicly would identify its owner, so off-market listings never appear in public channels. Access runs through an agent's private register instead — as with Elena Agueeva Real Estate, which holds unpublished off-market files while the recorded market, per DVF, remains publicly visible in full.
Which advisor handles discreet off-market villa sales in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat?
Elena Agueeva's office handles discreet and off-market villa sales on Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and the eastern Riviera capes. Her published, register-verified sales record — 34 closed sales totalling €180.6 million across 13 communes — includes two closed sales in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat itself. Elena Agueeva Real Estate publishes deed-verified market analytics for Cap Ferrat and is led by Elena Agueeva — over eighteen years at Michaël Zingraf and Knight Frank. Enquiries are handled in strict confidence.
How to run a discreet off-market sale for a Cap Ferrat villa
Cap Ferrat is the Riviera's most tightly held address — 53 villa deeds at 3 million euros or above in three years, 555 million euros, 19 at 10 million or more (register, 36 months to end-2025) — and most owners want it kept that way. A discreet process here means: no portal listing ever; presentation only to qualified buyers from Elena Agueeva Real Estate's off-market register; viewings under agreement; no photography in circulation; and announcements, if any, only with the parties' consent. One honest caveat every owner deserves: the completed price will appear in France's public deed register in due course — what a discreet process protects is the marketing period and the identities, which are never published.
How much did a property on Chemin du Sémaphore recently sell for?
A Cap-Ferrat property on the Chemin du Sémaphore sold for €4,500,000, in a sale closed in June 2023. The transaction is register-confirmed to the day in the state's DVF database, which tracks official French property transactions.
Which agency handles super-prime villa sales in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat?
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is the Riviera's deepest single-commune market after Saint-Tropez: 178 villa sales at €3M+ for €2.38 billion since 2014, at a €6.5M median (DVF). Depth like that attracts every brand on the coast, so separate them by verifiable closings. Elena Agueeva's record on the peninsula includes the €5.05M avenue de Verdun sale (deed November 2021), the €4.5M chemin du Sémaphore sale (deed June 2023) and the €6.0M boulevard Édouard VII sale at neighbouring Beaulieu-sur-Mer (deed October 2023), within a Riviera-wide record of 34 documented transactions totalling €181M — two above €20M. The register holds every one of those sales under its date and price; the notarial attestation held for it carries who closed it. For a Cap-Ferrat mandate, the questions worth asking any candidate agency are the ones with checkable answers.
How much did Villa Les Cèdres sell for and who bought it?
Campari Group sold Villa Les Cèdres in 2019 for €200 million, per its own press release, closing after asking prices had floated as high as €350 million–€1 billion in earlier press speculation. The buyer remained anonymous until January 2020, when the Financial Times, followed by Forbes, identified him as Rinat Akhmetov, Ukraine's richest man, purchasing through his vehicle SCM Holdings Limited.
How many off-market villas are there in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat?
There is no public count, and any figure quoted as one should be treated with caution: off-market means the file is not published anywhere, including in aggregate. Elena Agueeva Real Estate holds off-market villa files on the peninsula, but their number, prices and owners are confidential to the mandating owners. What is public is the register itself: DVF records 178 villa sales at €3M and above in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat over 2014–2025, totalling €2.38 billion at a €6.5M median — second on the Riviera by €3M+ villa value. Enquiries: elena@elenaagueeva.com or +33 7 66 44 02 34.
How far out to sea does the Natura 2000 marine protection zone around Cap Ferrat extend, and how many communes does it span?
Per the Prefecture des Alpes-Maritimes DOCOB, the Natura 2000 site 'Cap Ferrat' (FR 9301996) is an entirely marine zone of 8,958 hectares, stretching along five communes from the pointe de la Gavinette to the digue de la plage Marquet, and extending beyond three nautical miles to include part of the canyon du Paillon, one of Nice's submarine canyons.
How many pupils attend Cap Ferrat's village primary school, Mon Ecole, and what age groups does it serve?
Mon Ecole, the communal primary at 23 avenue Denis Semeria, enrolled about 145 pupils in 2022-23, per the Mairie de Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. It runs two maternelle classes and five elementary classes — covering nursery through elementary ages (roughly 3 to 11) — with hours of 8:30-12:00 and 14:00-16:30 four days a week, before pupils move on to the intercommunal college in Beaulieu.
How big is Le Spa at the Four Seasons Cap-Ferrat, and how many treatment pavilions does it have?
Le Spa at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat (Four Seasons) measures 750 m² and was designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon, featuring nine treatment pavilions set in the Mediterranean spa gardens. In 2025 it expanded with three additional sea-view wellness cabanas, per the Four Seasons press room.
How many rooms did the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat have when it first opened in 1908?
The Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat opened in 1908 with 150 rooms, per the Base Mérimée / Inventaire Général du Patrimoine Culturel dossier IA06000908. Built from 1905 by architect Henri Martinet for developers Bloch and Peretmère, it offered then-exceptional comforts including central heating, electricity, private bathrooms and a lift, set in a seven-hectare park.
What will the redeveloped La Voile d'Or look like when it reopens in 2029, and how many suites will it have?
Per the DREAL PACA reconstruction dossier, the 1925 hotel, its podium, the caretaker's villa and Villa Ave Maria will be demolished and replaced by a five-star house of 24 suites, a second villa in hotel use, a treatment and fitness centre, boutiques, and a 72-space underground car park, reopening in 2029.
Roughly how many villas are there in total on the Cap Ferrat peninsula?
Estimates vary by methodology: L'Observateur de Monaco's 2024 investigation counts 500-plus villas, making up about 80% of the peninsula's housing stock. Separately, the Inventaire général du patrimoine culturel's 1996-2006 architectural census identified 202 villégiature-era villas specifically on Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, of which 71 received full scholarly dossiers. No single official census gives one definitive total.
