Carlton Beach Club

Why Carlton Beach Club matters in Cannes

Carlton Beach Club runs on a Cannes rhythm that rewards planning: arrive at lunch, settle a daybed, hold it through the afternoon, and let the music pivot into sunset without ever getting up to move. MyRSVP books the daybed or cabana on the date you want, confirms the food-and-beverage minimum, and stages your arrival so the day starts the second you sit down.

How the day runs at Carlton Beach Club

Carlton Beach Club runs along 400 meters of the Croisette’s most coveted stretch, anchored by its world-renowned central pontoon where sunbeds (€80–€100) and VIP cabanas (€1,000+) tier the beach into clear social zones. The redesign in 2020 preserved the 1950s bones—white sunbeds, wood and marble bars, lush lounges—while sharpening sightlines across the Mediterranean toward the Esterel mountains and Îles de Lérins. The restaurant operates split service: lunch noon–4 PM, dinner 7–10:30 PM, with Chef Alexandra Delamare and Laurent Bunel steering a straightforward Mediterranean menu (grilled seabass, seafood platters, signature cocktails). Live music and fireworks dinners anchor the summer calendar; during the Cannes Film Festival, the pontoon becomes the de facto meeting point for industry players and celebrities. Dress code is enforced—elegant swimwear or polished resort wear—which keeps the crowd refined but not stuffy. Sunbed turnover is brisk in peak season, so placement matters: pontoon-adjacent beds command premium prices and sightlines. The club closes at 8 PM daily, a hard stop that shapes the rhythm—this is lunch, aperitif, and early dinner territory, not late-night dancing.

What MyRSVP secures at Carlton Beach Club

Through MyRSVP, the Carlton Beach Club booking is the confirmed version: tier locked in (front row, second row, sunset-facing cabana), minimum spend known before you commit, tender handoff arranged if relevant, and special requests — magnums pre-staged, a cake brought tableside, a birthday sequence — coordinated ahead of time rather than negotiated on the sand.

Hours, dress, and planning windows

What to plan for at Carlton Beach Club: hours are on-page; the honest operating window is long (lunch through sunset and into dinner for cabana guests). Dress: swim-appropriate during the day, elevated for dinner. Minimums scale by tier and by date — May (Festival de Cannes) and the July–August high-season window and Festival de Cannes, yacht-tender arrivals at Quai Laubeuf are the hottest on the calendar. A daybed on a shoulder weekday is a different price point than a sunset-facing cabana on a Saturday in May (Festival de Cannes) and the July–August high-season window, and planning lead time reflects that difference.
