The domaine

Port La Galère is a private seaside résidence on the Corniche d’Or, just beyond the centre of Théoule-sur-Mer, 15 km west of Cannes. It occupies 23 hectares of cliff and seafront facing the Bay of Cannes and the Îles de Lérins.

The architecture is Jacques Couëlle’s — poured, curved, each building different. This site rents one owner apartment inside that résidence. It is not the Hotel Club, and it is not the marina office.

Apartment guests use résidence facilities as they stand in season: two outdoor pools (Summer Club with diving tower and children’s basin; Winter Club among the pines), patrolled private beach and pontoon, tennis, grocery, gym, Club d’Été and Club d’Hiver restaurants and bars, and the marina. Boats can be hired from the port. The grounds are gated with 24-hour security.
