Airbnb co-host in Cannes

Cannes, the most expensive market on the Riviera: high nightly rates, but fierce competition that rewards well-run listings. We take care of your apartment from A to Z — listing, guests, cleaning, linen, monthly statement — so you don't have to. We are not an agency: we become co-host of your Airbnb listing, you remain the main host and Airbnb pays you directly. English spoken.

Why Cannes lets well short-term

MIPIM, the Film Festival, Cannes Lions, MIPCOM: trade-show weeks let at top prices, and summer takes over. In between, only active management fills the calendar.

From April to October, a flat here makes 74% of its yearly income, and August alone earns almost as much as the three winter months together: letting only in the good season and keeping the flat for yourself the rest of the time is a real option. Estimate my April–October season

The areas we know and work in: the Croisette and the Carré d'Or, rue d'Antibes and Carnot, Le Suquet, Palm Beach, La Californie, La Bocca. We are based between Antibes and Mandelieu: a trip for a cleaning, a key handover or an emergency takes minutes, not hours.

What we actually achieve. In 2026 our two homes booked 92% and 81% more nights than their markets: that is the method we apply in Cannes. The figures on this page come from listings booked on Airbnb in Cannes from November 2025 to October 2026, not from a promise.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an apartment earn on Airbnb in Cannes?

Based on listings actually booked between November 2025 and October 2026, a one-bedroom flat open all year in Cannes lets on average at €200 a night, 34% of nights. After Airbnb fees (15.5%) and our co-hosting fee (22% incl. VAT), you keep €15,800 to €21,300 a year, or €1,310 to €1,770 a month; a studio €1,010 to €1,360 a month; a two-bedroom €1,990 to €2,680. The top of the range reflects active management: open calendar, weekly price changes, replies within the hour.

What does co-hosting include, and what does it cost?

Everything from listing to statement: photos and listing copy, dynamic pricing, guest messages 7 days a week, check-in, hotel-standard cleaning and linen between stays, small repairs, and a detailed monthly statement. We charge 22% incl. VAT of what Airbnb pays you, excluding cleaning fees (paid by the guest). No fixed fees, no lock-in: one month's notice.

I live abroad. Can you manage everything?

Yes. Most of our work is done on site by us, between Antibes and Mandelieu. You follow bookings in your Airbnb app, Airbnb pays you directly, and we talk in English by phone, WhatsApp or email.

Am I allowed to let short-term in Cannes?

Registration and a registration number on the listing are mandatory. For a second home, public sources disagree on whether a change-of-use permit is required: we get a written answer from the town hall for your address before you commit. In every case, the listing shows a registration number, tourist tax is collected by Airbnb, and we follow your building's rules.

And if I prefer a fixed rent?

We also offer guaranteed rent: Riviera Hosting becomes your tenant under a three-year lease in the company's name and pays you a fixed rent every month, whether the flat is occupied or not. We furnish, equip and maintain it at our expense.
