Nammos Cannes: the new beach club on La Croisette where Mykonos spirit meets French Riviera glamour.

There are few places in the world where sea, style, and savoir-vivre blend as seamlessly as in Cannes. Yet since the summer of 2024, a new name has redefined Riviera beach luxury: Nammos Cannes.

The iconic Greek beach club (famous from Mykonos to Dubai) made its French debut at the far end of La Croisette, within the exclusive Palm Beach Private Members Club complex in summer 2024.

From the moment you arrive, the setting exudes understated sophistication. Creamy tones, turquoise accents, and breezy turquoise & white parasols set the mood, a refined balance between Greek island spirit and Côte d’Azur glamour. The view stretches endlessly across the Bay of Cannes, towards the Îles de Lérins, where the legendary La Guérite restaurant sits in the distance.

We settled onto a sunlit terrace with tables hewn from rustic wooden trunks, each one unique, the grain and texture of the wood speaking of organic luxury. Overhead, turquoise-and-white striped parasols cast playful shadows, giving the terrace that signature Riviera look, chic yet relaxed, elegant in its simplicity.

While the terrace invites alfresco charm, stepping inside the restaurant is equally worthwhile (especially for dinner), but also for lunch if you want a taste of the interior design’s full effect. The décor leans toward a Mediterranean modern style, with abundant natural light, clean lines, whitewashed walls, touches of pale stone and light wood, and pops of rich color in upholstery and decorative details, a graceful nod to Mykonos aesthetics adapted to the Riviera. It’s airy and bright, yet warm and textured.

Our lunch was shared, a parade of signature dishes that embodied the Nammos gastronomic philosophy. We began with a crisp Greek salad, vibrant with heirloom tomatoes, kalamata olives, herbs, and a drizzle of olive oil; then came burrata, impossibly creamy, and fried zucchini, lightly breaded, golden, and tender inside.

Next arrived not one but two generous platters of pasta: one tossed in a rich tomato sauce that smelled of basil and sun-ripened fruit, the other a hearty pasta ragu, slow-cooked meat bathing in layers of flavour, served tableside. Alongside, a beautiful cut of beef, perfectly seared, kissed with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkled with coarse sea salt, so that each bite was juicy and luminous.

To finish, dessert was nothing short of divine: a wonderfully smooth cheesecake, a molten lava cake (yes, the haute couture of chocolate indulgence), and the all-time classic Nammos chocolate mousse, layers of white, milk and dark chocolate weaving together in silky richness.

Is it worth it? In a word: yes.
Nammos Cannes is not just another beach club, it’s a statement of style, an ode to Riviera living with a Greek soul.

It may not be the cheapest, but in Cannes, luxury isn’t measured in euros, it’s about the art of joie de vivre, and few places master it as effortlessly as Nammos.
