Port Marina Baie de Anges – a unique architectural project between Nice and Antibes

Many of our clients have fallen for the port in Villeneuve-Loubet situated between Nice and Antibes – Marina Baie des Anges (the port of the Angels’ bay). This unique place stands apart from all other towns of the French Riviera.

The architectural project of Marina Baie des Anges is composed of four pyramidal towers forming a gigantic sea wave. It was built during the period from 1970 to 1993 at the same time as the construction of the yacht harbor.

Transforming an unattractive sea line into a luxurious real estate project – that was the task of an architect André Minangoy in 1960. This futuristic project was admired by the professional architect community and disliked by various citizen organisations and local community.
The arguments around it resulted in 1973 in a law on “Protection of the sea line” that installed a strict control of the construction on the first line from the sea to avoid in the future any projects that might shock the public opinion.

Purchasing an apartment in Marina Baie des Anges

There are several advantages to buying an apartment in Marina Baie des Anges:

Firstly, the apartments in these towers, the tallest of which is 70m high, have an unrivalled view on the sea and the yachts.
Secondly, Marina Baie des Anges is a rare place on Côte d’Azur where you get a panoramic sea view while being on the first line from the sea without a road under your windows. All the main streets here pass behind the building, and most windows and terraces overlook the sea and the yachts.
Thirdly, there is no town as such around, with all the noise, tourists, and problems, while the port has all the infrastructure for a pleasant holiday – a supermarket, several restaurants, thalassotherapy, a private swimming pool, and a park with a playground.

Marina Baie des Ange is perfect for a family holiday on the French Riviera. If owning an apartment in this complex, you can live in a quiet place but remain close to the civilization:

the airport is 15-minutes’ drive away
the racing courses are 5 minutes away
in 10 minutes you can get to an aquapark, carting, other parks with activities and sports for children, a golf course and stables.

Below your windows there is a biking lane that connects the marina to Nice, Antibes and Cannes. The highway is 5 minutes away, and you can see your boat or yacht from your windows.

Finally, you have a possibility of purchasing a flat with a huge penthouse-like 150m2 terrace (apartments on the edges of each tower), with an underground parking, storage space and non-stop security.
