A fantastic location for a celebration, there’s no better setting for a party than Nice. Thanks to the city’s incredible selection of unique venues for rent, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to planning your special event. With spaces ranging from apartments to villas, beach clubs, restaurants, bars and even yachts available for day charter, Nice truly has something for everyone.
When it comes to throwing an unforgettable party, half the battle is working out where it’s going to take place. To ensure that your event goes with a swing, you’ll need to think about renting a venue with enough space to host your guests comfortably, a terrace or garden to make the most of the Riviera’s golden sunshine and of course plenty of amenities to keep everybody entertained throughout the evening.
With a huge choice of venues on offer, getting your friends and family together has never been easier. Celebrate in style with a relaxing staycation in a villa with a pool and BBQ area or even a day charter on a private yacht in the Baie des Anges. If you prefer to stay a little closer to the city centre, why not think about booking a private room in a restaurant or hiring a rooftop bar and terrace with fabulous views of the Mediterranean.
If you’re planning bachelorette or a birthday party with a theme, finding the perfect venue can definitely help add to the atmosphere during the evening. Celebrate your big day with an elegant afternoon tea party complete with tea and cakes in a cosy tea room or enjoy the Riviera’s boho beach lifestyle for the weekend by hiring a private beach club along the iconic Promenade des Anglais.
Easily accessible by car, train and plane, Nice is also a great choice for a destination event. A fun way to celebrate a milestone birthday or a special wedding anniversary, hiring a venue with both accommodation and space to party will give you more time to spend socialising with your friends and family as you soak up the sunshine during your time in the South of France.
With the Nice Côte d’Azur Airport located right on the seafront, Nice is the ideal location to bring your employees or clients together for a corporate rewards function in the region. Reserve a conference room in the city centre for your company presentation then as night falls, transform the space into a lounge area with cocktails and a dance floor to give your team a celebration to remember.

Accessibility
Make sure the venue is easily accessible for all your guests, whether they come by car, public transport or on foot. Also check the availability of parking spaces or alternative solutions such as shuttles.
