Beaulieu-sur-Mer is a refined Belle Epoque resort tucked between Nice and Monaco, prized for its sheltered marina, palm-lined seafront and one of the mildest microclimates on the Riviera. It lies just 15 km east of Nice Cote d'Azur Airport, around 20 minutes by car. This guide covers transfer options, travel time and highlights.
Several ways exist to make this journey. Here is how they compare:
A private transfer is the easiest choice: your driver meets you in arrivals, helps with luggage and drives you directly to your hotel or villa. The price is fixed at EUR 60 regardless of traffic, with free child seats on request.
Beaulieu-sur-Mer has its own railway station on the Nice-Monaco line, but reaching it from the airport needs a connection via Nice-Ville. With luggage and after a long flight, a direct transfer is far more comfortable.
Airport taxis charge roughly EUR 55 to 80 with no fixed price and possible queues at peak times. A pre-booked transfer fixes the cost in advance.
A faithful recreation of an ancient Greek villa built in the early 1900s, set right on the water. Its mosaics, frescoes and gardens make it one of the most unusual attractions on the coast.
The Port de Plaisance is lined with cafes and yachts, and the coastal promenade offers gentle walks toward Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat past elegant villas.
A short ride away lies the exclusive Cap Ferrat peninsula, home to the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and its themed gardens overlooking the sea.
Beaulieu is perfectly placed for day trips: Monaco is 15 minutes east and the medieval hilltop village of Eze just up the corniche.
Fixed price EUR 60, Mercedes E-Class, English-speaking driver, flight tracking and meet & greet. No prepayment needed.
